Shit!!
Philly, just got a Shorty, while I was typing my last post!!
Two things:
Holtby WAS able to make enough of a stretch with his leg, all the way to the post, and WOULD HAVE blocked the shot, BUT his late TIMING of the stretch, was the problem!
When Holtz is on his game, his stretch timing is perfect, and that shot would have been blocked!
More proof, that he’s been a little off as of late!!
2nd thing is how the shorty breakaway even started! I rewound Carlson’s intercepted pass, for the breakaway, and dammit, Carlson absolutely rushed that pass, BECAUSE he was fully INTIMIDATED, by the defender skating at him!
Use whatever SEMANTIC word games you want! I call it a MISTAKE, committed as a result of being TOO concerned about a little bit comin to his body!! Sometimes, you simply have to suck one up, crowd around the puck, and protect it as best you can!! Not appear to have the attitude, “fuck it, I don’t care what happens,If I just fling it away, maybe they’ll leave me alone!! I’ve got to protect my precious little self from any harm!!” Friggin douche bag!!
Many of our opponents have learned EXACTLY how you can disrupt JOHN Carlson!!
Rush
