We're just trying to give Holden some motivation so he'll stop being one of the worst defensemen in the NHL. So far it hasn't been working.

Hey, I'd say he hasn't been nearly as bad lately as he was to start the season.

Then again, I don't recall any defenseman being as bad as Holden was at the start of the season, ever. Not even David Koci, and he wasn't even a defenseman

He has been better after Roy made him a healthy scratch, I'll give him that.

In fairness, he's had some very good games last season.

I agree, for the record.

Guenin was worse, Holden just played more minutes and had tougher assignments/zone starts, so he was more exposed.

I think I prefer ignorance is bliss. (Though interesting to know). I know as professionals they have to get used to it, people on the internet are going to have an opinion. But on those two guys, there is A LOT of hate.

It's true that anyone can come on here and read stuff. I've definitely stopped sharing some of the information about the players in the league i associate with because it's gone full circle.

Definitely. You don't get to the highest level of hockey without people being in your way. And I'm talking about people who say things to your face which is 10x worse than things people say on a message board.

Nick Holden sucks.

Part of Patty's post game comments "I don't think I'm going to rewatch that game cause I'll be afraid we going to lose that point"

That's a nice summary of the team's performance
