Its too bad the thread is separated out from the last one in which the majority of posters were telling us what an upgrade Spooner is, hands down, and that he immediately makes us better.
The posts that it doesn't matter if Spooner gives up a lot more GA, he'll more than make up for that were amongst the oddest comments.
Theres a lot of crow that should be eaten in this thread based on the last one. I see Strome is doing his part as well feeding crow.
Anyway. Theres spooner on topline, as a winger, setting up in front of the net, with his 1 G all season, while 2 13 goal scorer allstars are digging in the corners and battling so they can get it out to the creep that doesn't score. This happened REPEATEDLY.
This despite Hitch saying he needs Spooner to get in on the forecheck, use his speed to get to pucks and create puck battles.
Not only is Spooner bad and useless he's ignoring coaching direction and freelancing as he always does.
"Hey Leon, Connor, whats up, how come you not digging the puck out for me and giving me perfect feeds in front of the net"
I've played hockey and if a new player on the team saw it as his duty to take a plum role in front of the net like this, a guy that doesn't even score, somebody would take him out back and have a talk. the funniest thing is opponents seem to realize you don't even have to cover this guy, we're shorthanded with him on the ice. He's as bad as Yamamoto was except Yama has size and youth as an excuse and was at least trying.
does anybody seriously think Connor and Leon enjoyed this latest experiment?
I mean put anybody up there, Cagg, Chiasson, Rattie, Pulju, even Kassian. All of this could work or help. But Spoonfed? lmfao. The WORST choice for topsix since Yama. I would even put Khaira up before this guy.
