Just post better
Maybe I don't, can you explain to me why I am wrong to use it in this situation?
Things are happening with the goalies/"goalie situation" that NOT long ago, many people were saying would NEVER HAPPEN. Now, along with completely ignoring that, all the most positive "pro Bob" narratives are being thrown about in a last ditch effort to "prove" that what IS HAPPENING on the ice, "isn't happening".
The 'good team/bad team' narrative IS on its last legs. Whether you think that's why they are starting Korpisalo in these games, or that its the reason his numbers and record are so much better. Or both.
The other narrative that does not have much time is the simple idea that Bob is BETTER than Korpisalo.
The claim that Bobrovsky is better right now, because he has won a Vezina in the past is wrong to me for 2 simple reasons. #1, Korpisalo has never had the opportunity to play an extended period of time other than 2015/16, when he put up good numbers. Lets look at those numbers shall we.
Hmm... Hard teams, injuries, disrespectful front office, 'safe is death'?? Which one was it then?[TBODY] [/TBODY]
Joonas Korpisalo GMS31 1797 78 GAA2.60 W16 L11 4 891 SV%0.920 2 0 Sergei Bobrovsky GMS37 2104 97 GAA2.75 W15 L19 1 952 SV%0.908 7 1
And, MOST IMORTANTLY, The fact that you guys (not exactly "you" I guess) "attempt" to TAKE AWAY SO MUCH FROM THE REST OF THE ENTIRE TEAM IN THE PRAISE OF BOB and his winning of the Vezina(s). I'm not saying that he played bad then, or "hurt" the team over an extended time/full season, but this underlying idea that IMO is attempted to be passed off, that he has won these awards and put up these numbers while "DRAGGING" the team along couldn't be farther from the truth.
Grilled?
Only an individual poster can move their own goalposts. You have a habit of applying particular perspectives to entire swaths of the forum, whether that's accurate or not. Maybe it's time for you to drop "you guys" from your vernacular and just address the conversation at hand?
Why don't you start by going back through the poster you quoted's stated positions on the topic and then decide if that individual poster has changed their criteria over time?
