lol. You do you, Svedu. I don't care if you're related to UPL. The first goal was absolutely a fluke play; no blame there. The second goal was a deflection from well above the faceoff circle and he looked handcuffed on the shot.
The whole team looks like crap at this point in the season. Defense and forwards.
And the truth is we've been saying for a long time on these boards that no goalie would be very good behind this team.
This post was good. I fully agree. But the thing is, you tend to blame UPL a bit too often and no, he was not to be blamed yesterday. The team sucked buffalo balls. I mean the funny thing is the defense was just as bad as the offense or if not worse. One fluke or not doesn't change that fact.
Also, look at the play, who if not that f*cking Owen Power tries a stupid move and doesn't have any way to save the situation afterwards? The kid seems bad at thinking on the next step that could eventually punish his team.
And no, I do not only blame him either, I think it's the coaching staffs issue to solve it if they let him play like that and as much as he actually does.
Then you have Joker who can't save or help UPL with anything, being overly passive in his defending. Last but not least, you have UPL with the fluke in that sequence.
But otherwise? The biggest problems is those things happening before the actual goal, something a lot of fans don't recognize or try to recognize. And they happen a bit too frequently to be acceptable. Or do you disagree?
Side note: You can read that I blamed him (UPL) , Joker and Power for the second goal. Power doing what he did at that second goal was no fluke either. He's just "I see what I can do here, oh or perhaps this, oh and then I forgot about the eventual consequences". That's Powers playing in a nutshell when I've seen him. So overrated if he doesn't fix that, or they get a new coach that teaches him that. Jukka Jalonen would spank his ass and bench him for his latest efforts.
