Rush - I liked "toss Carlson's salad" - good one!
Two guys that need to step it up - Kuzy and Oshie. They are getting paid to put the puck in the net and need to stop all the fancy stick-handling and passing. The only guys we have beside Ovi that really want to shoot the puck are Vrana and Eller.

So if you order a four pack of stripers, and one of them they send is a midget, you should ask for a 15% discount for being shorted right?

When you're in situations like this (6 goals in 3 games) you get out of it by throwing rubber at the net. Eller did that last night and scored. Way too often we get in a great position to shoot and inexplicably try another pass. (Yea, that's you Kuz and Burakovsky) Stop the cutesy stuff and shoot. You'll find that pucks start going in.
The PP is another issue. Teams have figured out how to break up our entries by putting a picket fence of 4 guys on the blueline or in the neutral zone. In that case you have to get it in deep and get in there and outwork your opponent. Nobody is going to give you anything. We simply aren't working hard enough on the PP. The advice about shooting goes for the PP, too. Get people in front and shoot the puck.

Agreed. I like Brent as a general hockey dude and he usually has hockey intelligent things to say. He just isn't very good at speaking.
Rob is a dweeb. Always had the impression he was shining everyone on until he gets a real announcer gig somewhere. Who knows. I thought there was real tension between him and Alan May early on. May has called him out a few times, and it seems they get along fine now.
Joe B is my favorite sports announcer anywhere and he calls an excellent game. He actually calls the game well and keeps up with the play and so on. I've always liked him and Locker together, but probably couldn't tolerate Locker without Joe B if he ever decided to move on.

I will say that Locker keeps things upbeat and positive. That I DO like. He seems to be a pretty good natured guy, as well. I don’t know why he’s on this excessive Carlson love thing, lately, with a little more emphasis to it!
The funny part is if you listen real closely, you’ll never hear them talk about his defense SPECIFICALLY!! They don’t dare! LOL
