Where is the "is it too early to freak out about Braun?" thread. Dude has looked like an abject noob in the past two games. He was on the ice for 3 EV goals.

And it's going to be really difficult for anyone, even Hogg, to top flipping a puck directly to the other team and then tripping his own goalie. That could easily be the season-worst play for a dman.
What's the point of a reliable defensive veteran presence to steady things if they aren't reliable and steadying?
Oh and on the subject of Ghost, the guy's cap hit is 4.5 million. He would have to be significantly worse than he is to warrant freaking out. Or even, really, all the nitpicking he receives. People act like he's pulling down twice his cap hit.
And 2 were directly his fault. Maybe the 3rd too but I can't remember.Where is the "is it too early to freak out about Braun?" thread. Dude has looked like an abject noob in the past two games. He was on the ice for 3 EV goals.
For context, last year Amacs cap was $5M.
Ghost has a LONG ways to go before we start talking about him not bringing value relative to cap hit.
People aren't really blaming Braun for the McDavid goal, are they?
That was just a great freakin' play by a superstar and bad decision making by a rookie goaltender.

I just want to remind everyone that I freaked out the minute we made these signings and hirings, and in the case of Hayes, about seven months beforehand. I am the early bird and I catch the worm. Koo koo kitchoo.
McDavid beats most NHL defensemen on that play but Braun made the situation a lot worse. He had a good 10-foot head start but McDavid blew past him and Braun essentially passed the puck to him.
Outmuscled him, too. It was a tough play, but he wasn't very brawny, you feel me?
It's ok. We can trade him at the deadline and get our picks back.
