I like Buff and think he brings dimensions no other player does. He indeed does have challenges.
I think Enstrom is at times a very good player too , but he does make mistakes as do all players , but he seems to be immune to criticism from some . He's made imo some glaring errors lately . The goal yesterday was not good hockey sense was it? Same could be said , if that was Buff , he would have been chastised far more than Enstrom was don't you think?
Agreed if Buff had Toby's positives he would be incredibly elite. We could say the same for many players if we combined them though .
Well, I don't want to wade into the whole court of public opinion on players area, because we are seeing way too much of that around here, but yes, I would agree.
I think there is a reason some players get crapped on when they make a bad play more than others. It's usually because they have a far greater propensity for making those bad plays.
When Enstrom makes a bad play defensively, you cut him slack because his defending is near elite. When a guy like Buff, or Stu make a bad play they get ragged on because they make those mistakes time, and time again.
I'd like to (and I'm sure you would too) talk more about the games, the players, and the plays and strategy within the game than I want to read which poster said what, and what group of posters say what about whom - or support player X or bash player Y.
It's not really why we are here, and it's against the Jets forum rules. We are getting back into talking about posters ad nauseum around here and we are going to have to start using thread bans and more to get away from that. I bet at least a third of the posts in this PGT are talking about posters and what they are saying about players or the game (ooohh you'd think we'd have lost)etc, as opposed to the actual game.
Posters can help by reporting posts they think violate the rules, but especially USING THE IGNORE function on posters that take away from their enjoyment on the boards.
