Post-Game Talk: Red Hot Devils in Ottawa, Thursday 7:30 pm on TSN

[StoicSensFan]

Multi-point night from Karlsson and Brown's first on the PP would be great.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Hey what about this guy... man out one game and they forget about him

Poor Boro. Honest opinion... he's looked pretty good too, no complaints from me.

So far so good for most everyone imo

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Agreed. Hard to complain when we're winning and even out shooting our opponents this year. We've looked solid in all areas for the most part.

 

[Viletho]

Uh, Ceci has been good for the most part. Thompson and Burrows have been mediocre at best.

There is a difference between not meeting expectation, ok, bad, really bad and mediocre.

I think you should learn the difference.

Burrows has start bad but his level of play has gone up without stats to show for since the game in vancouver. He isn't meeting expectation statistically but is he mediocre? I can't even say he is bad, he's just there with nothing more.

Thompson has done a very good job on the PK, which was the reason he was signed in the first place.

I would like to see the 3rd (-Hoffman) and 4th lines contribute a goal hear and there. Pyatt has made a couple nice passes for goals

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Hopefully Brown gets a chance or two on the PP

Yes definitely, the top 2 lines can't carry us forever. Pageau has been pretty quiet offensively so far and I'm sure he's got more to give in that area.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

More Please

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

More numbers

What are you even talking about? First you tell me I should learn the difference, then you spell out basically what mediocre is, which is what I said. I think you are the one that is confused.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I wonder is this is part of Boucher's pep talk to the team

 

[Viletho]

No, mediocre is a guy who cost your team again, and again and that negative is exceding massively the positive. Is Burrows costing the team? No!!! His Burrows doing positive things? Yes! Is he dominating? Unfortunately no especially with the salary he is doing. but he is doing quiet that aren't shown on that stats sheet.

If you are mediocre, you a pure negative, which cannot be said of Burrows and Thompson.

So yeah, i think you should learn what mediocre means.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I would use mediocre as synonymous with middle of the road, comme ci comme ca , so so, run of the mill, middling, neither good nor bad

Middle of the road or comme ci comme ca is OK/Bad.

Mediocre is like the worst of the worst. Is there something worst then mediocre? If i want to say how bad someone is, is there something worse then that? I am genuently asking lol

If GSN think that, than fine we will simply won't agree on what Thompson and burrows has bring thus far and i'm fine with that. But the use of mediocre is way overused around here to explain what worth of X or Y

 

[GWNR]

I know I'm in the minority, but I really hate having Smith on that line with Turris and Dzingel.

I feel like flipping him and Hoffman is great for both lines.

With Hoffman listed on the 3rd line, it looks like Boucher is trying to balance every line between scoring and speed 5 on 5. What I really dislike is Smith getting power play time, hopefully Brown gets that time tonight.

I think Smith would be better on the 3rd line and Hoffman would be better on an offensive line.

Omfg. Yeah, let's give the 20 goal scorer, get to the dirty areas guys pp time to some rookie with one NHL game. No thanks.

 

[Viletho]

Omg. Than my apologies to GSN. Haha. Maybe i was using that word unproperly all this time. To me, there is like nothing worse then saying someone is mediocre, but if it kinda means average or merely adequate, then i'm the one at fault in my understand and usage of that word. And also i then think it can be use to describe the play of the 2 players concerned.

My apologies GSN. I will eat my word this time

 

[solidprospect]

Unfortunately most of his goals happened at even strength. In fact, Smith has 6 powerplay goals in 480 NHL games and 13 goals shorthanded. 61 were at even strength.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Smith is a 20 goal scorer like Ryan is a 30 goal scorer.

You don't actually expect him to score 20 ever again do you? Cause that's bonkers.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

I wouldn't write it off as a possibility but I agree that its just not the player he is. 15 goals is a realistic expectation imo.
