Put a little sugar on it why dontcha ya :devil:
I don't hate John Carlson, by any means, but his lack of D sense is pretty obvious sometimes and his lack of urgency continues to make him a target for gibes, no matter how much other team's and their comms rant and rave about him.
Our best D-man at this moment, imho, is Orpik. There's a shocker! :wackysmile:

Orpik? He is our mist physical but he is getting beat like a redheaded stepchild. He is a good penalty killer but he gets beat on the rush because he is so slow. And he is the worst player I have ever seen with the puck. He has no puck skills at all.

Earlier on tonight, I was just pondering on how changed you were on this forum from the previous one and how ... almost civilised you have become.
I stand corrected. :(

I don't like John Carlson. I just don't. I get it, some people defend him as so good but that kid just doesn't care on defense sometimes. I get it, it was late in the game it was 3-1 we were already up but he literally left a man with a wide open net late in that game. We didn't support well on the boards before the play, but Carlson was making a weird pseudo defensive block in front of the goalie, nowhere near where the puck was. It looked like it pissed Grubby off too, did you guys see at the end of the game Carlson was the first to Gruby and he went to do a high five and Gruby just cold shouldered by him. Carlson stopped and took his stoner face off for a second and looked startled.
I just don't think Carlson is the type of player we want to hang our hats on for playoffs. He's turned into Mike Green levels for me, only with a bit more offensive mental acumen, and I think he still is better defensively if only because he can stay on his skates more than Green can and can at least take a hit. I hope he is the one we trade at the deadline honestly, him, Connolly and Burt are all on my top list of players we could use as bait to solve the grit issues.
