It's not even because I'm a fan. I like Andy but he's not near the top of my favorite Sens or even active goaltenders in the NHL. It's the irrational hate for a number of players on here, it doesn't matter what happens, but if certain players are on the ice, posters will find a way to place the blame on them. It's impossible to have an actual discussion about hockey with most because they are so set on pointing out mistakes or looking for ways to blame certain players.
Heck, sometimes those culprits are even blamed when they are NOT on the ice! like Ceci last night
Actually, it would be nice to have an "alter-GDT", a place just for game observation and analytical purposes, so not a place for rant and emotional reactions. To simplify, it could be an ongoing GDT for the season. Seriously, I would like that because it would be so much faster and more interesting to read if you cut the crap (blaming game, whining, bashing, ranting, cognitive bias, etc). We'd have to be disciplined though so if I want to rant or blame (happens to everybody heh), I'd have to go on the other GDT. But it's easy as you can have several pages open
I agree that White should continue to play on the fourth line for now. But it could be fun to add to him a guy like chlapik or some kind of talented young player. So that they grow together.
Also, if he isn't going to get much ES time because he is on the 4th line, they need to give him PK time or PP time, he is a capable offensive player especially near the net.
Smith and Stone are doing well om the PK but the second PK should see White on it.
Special team make a huge difference in term of usage.
Yeah maybe instead of Paajarvi who is completely useless IMO. Or Pyatt who does many good things but is not strong enough in the end.
We have to be patient with young players and integrate them progressively. White doesn't have a ton of pro experience, I think he is a guy who will progressively get better while guys like Tkachuk and Chabot are studs right away, and surprisingly, maybe Lajoie too lol
Let me know when the B-Sens come to Laval, we should go
