Hey dp!
Joe B mentioned that Locker was also SUPER pissed at Carly not making the All Stars! 🤣🤣😂🤣 Locker, by the way, didn’t say jack shit about the painfully obvious turnover! AND the one Carlson had, just a few nites ago, in our defensive zone, Locker played it down, very casually, saying, no problem, this happens from time to time!
I JUST DONT GET IT!! Where the media love comes from for this guy!
His high assist total is appreciable, in its own right, but it has a HUGE CAVEAT!! It’s not like any of Carly’s assists are from some kind of spectacular pass, or having some above average instinct on a play where he has some great anticipation of something!! ANYONE with half a hockey brain can see this, routinely played out in almost every game the caps play!
He deserves no title better than “He is present on the ice”, when he dishes the puck off, to three or four of some of the highest octane offensive players in the league in the last few seasons!
I’ll be the first to admit that the OVER-EXAGGERATED media hype he gets, SO UNDESERVEDLY, does drive my dislike of him, even higher!! You’ll RARELY, very RARELY, hear any specific media talk about his defensive play!! I said SPECIFIC, as in detailed commentary. Because there’s NOTHING THERE, that would support the general terms they use that he’s a “good defenseman”! They immediately go to his POINTS total!!! That says it all, for me!! And here’s my Carly acronym, on getting the Norris trophy...😂😂

He had Backstrom take it and he lost is cleanly. Then they have another face off 10 seconds later and he keeps Backstrom out who loses it again and they score. Seems pretty basic.

LMFAO Alta!
He’s been down there all game! Rob Carlin and the other guy,(forget his name) we’re doing the show inbetween periods, and the crowed seemed ok!
I get to plead the fifth, as I didn’t make it to the game tonite! LOL

Agreed . . . Nicks good but nowhere near the elite class year after year Beagle is in, if not leads.
But on the other hand, as a “first liner”, “all star”, “jersey selling super star”, making near 10, mil a year you HAVE TO WIN those when your taking crucial face offs instead of an elite face off guy.
Now naybe Nick has better numbers against the opponent, maybe Beagle had an off night or minor injury . . we don’t know. But if you’re standing in for one of the best in the league. and the “1st Line” high dollar center, and almost 10yr vet, failing twice is simply not an option nor forgiven
Maacoshark:
Beagle hasnt been good in the faceoff circle the past couple games. That is not good. When Beagle doesn't do well on faceoffs he becomes a liability.
