alta:
and there is a good example of the problem with Carlson, he is big enough to not be ridden off the puck like that
Mickstix:
Is it bad when your captain looks like the rookie in OT at home of a game 5 playoff game? :wackysmile:
Devise:
Like why even ice Ovechkin there? Man. Watching him just stand at the circle, and then literally skate in circles as he plays loose zone defense and doesn't battle for the puck at all. Just looks for quick deflects out. Board battle PLEASE. Even in your own end. THE GAME IS ON THE LINE, THE SERIES IS ON THE LINE. Ugh. I'm just so sick of seeing this shit. Every single player should be held accountable for every single shift they have. That is how it works. That is how you get it done in the playoffs.
Also Alta, your totally right. That is my issue with Carlson mostly is that he has a tendency to get out worked the moment you put the puck in his feet and start to battle for it. He falls more than he should, he may not be Mike Green levels and he can still shoot the puck/play offensively even if he gets hit. But we need more players willing to go to the dirty areas, and with the skills to succeed in them.
The loss of Joel Ward honestly was one of the biggest losses to this club. He was literally the definition of the exact type of player this team needs more of in spades.
