Johnny Q Norris passes Calle Johannsen for all time assist leaders for the Caps!
Happy for him, and happy for the team! BUT......
Alan May, post game, while obviously choosing his words carefully, when it came to describing Carly’s career as a DEFENSEMAN, had plenty of accolades, when talking Carly’s offensive side, but had the unmitigated NERVE, to credit Carly as an “old school, stay at home type, defenseman”!!!
Well smack my ASS, and call me SALLY!!.....Alan May must have got $$$, to really S T R E T C H, that one!!
I love ya, Alan May, but JEEZ!! Carlson is not even a “stay at home” Dman in today’s soft-ass NHL!!
More like a “NOT at home” Dman!!
Then you add in “Old school”....... W T F, man!!!
MARK TINORDI, was dependably “stay at home”, AND “Old school”, and that ALWAYS implied “PHYSICAL” too!!
I will agree, yes that Mark Tinordi was a #1 example of these qualities, so a comparison to other old school/stay at home defenseman of his time would not be fair !
But John Carlson is the complete, 180°, antithesis, of the type of defenseman you’ve just described him as......You’re going to have to put some heavy anti-inflammatory meds on that long, swelling nose of yours, before Sunday’s game!!😂🤣😂
