what an incredibly smart play from Norris candidate
It funny how you rip Carlson for taking a penalty on a weak call but whine when Connolly get called for a blatant interference penalty. At least try to keep it realistic.
Weak call? A blatant hold is what I saw, and Carlson did not even argue. We see it differently at times. The Norris candidate chop was kind of funny. I'd roll with it. :D We're all here to have fun and be friends. Taking a gentle poke is sometimes a part of that.
I still think we should call a spade a spade. Dont rip one guy for taking a penalty but let Connolly, Orlov and Kuzy off the hook for the penalties they took.
Geez I can't believe I keep defending Carlson. I never thought too much about him until I met you guys. You guys are so hard on him here that I took him under my wing to protect him. I'll drop the gloves if I have to.
Hey Maaco! Try to hear me out on this one.
I can’t believe you keep defending the guy either! I can certainly respect your opinion, no problem, I just don’t understand WHY you have it!!
I’m not attempting to be sarcastic or passive/aggressive with you, here, but I truly can’t get my head around how to square up your obvious, in depth hockey knowledge and analysis, with your support of such obvious and blatant playing mistakes of John Carlson.
I certainly don’t think you are using his POINTS or TOI totals, as support for your positions on #74! That is an obvious incomplete picture that you would be smarter than, to paint!! That’s ALL he’s got!
The part-time, lower hockey IQ fans, are the ones who buy into THOSE stat numbers, as gospel,like lemmings running off a cliff!
I say to you as a DIRECT COMPLEMENT to YOUR hockey IQ, that you are miles above the average hockey fans knowledge, IMHO! (Sincere props, buddy)! But IRONY of IRONIES, think about your last sentence in your post about being willing to take the gloves off to defend JOHN CARLSON!! Even if you weren’t being LITERAL, it’s still paradoxical logic on your point!
Why would you drop gloves for a guy, who is the epitome of SOFT!! Almost NEVER, if ever, has he dropped gloves for ANY FUCKING BODY!!!! I don’t know you that well, but you CERTAINLY don’t strike me as a man who would have someone’s back, who was too much of a wimp to have YOURS!!!
You’ve played and learned hockey, as you’ve mentioned, quite a bit in your life, so it would seem that you would have better insight on my point here, which is, to say, go ahead and defend his sorry ass, but if you were on the ice with him, you have to ask yourself, WOULD HE DROP GLOVES FOR YOU!!
Respectfully, I’ll say, YOU already KNOW that answer!
Just trying to give you something else to consider!
It’s all good!
