Karlsson Carrying the Team - Playoff Warrior

[benjiv1]

That's not what is being argued here though. The statement was player, not player this playoffs. I think McDavid and Crosby are better players in general. I think Getzlaf and Malkin and Rinne have been better in the playoffs. Malkin and Rinne are more arguable, but Getzlaf has been a monster

Lol, this guy trolls.

??? Karlsson best player in the world ???

1 - Its only his first ECF
2 - Ottawa is one of the most inconsistent team in the league (leadership ?? ) MTL tries so hard to give you guys 1e this year and you never took it.

People Please...

You say that like we lost to the Rangers. Montreal simply helped build the confidence of Lundqvist and the Rangers.

 

[HarrisonFord]

Wait... wut? Have you been watching the sens at all? Anderson has been incredible for 2 games total these playoffs.

He hasn't been great on LDSC or MDSC, but he has been on HDSC. Big timely saves

And Montreal couldn't beat the team the Sens just eliminated. Moron

Orr is pretty much impossible to catch at this point.

Ya, and I think that's due to how close in skill the elite to the average is now. The skill gap is much smaller. Natural talent still separates though.

Have I ever called Karlsson bad? Find me a single post where I call him bad? I call him not as good as McDavid and not as good as Crosby. I have also said he's not having one of the greatest playoff runs of all time, just a really good one. I have also said he's not "carrying his team like very few ever have", because Anderson has been incredible.

But apparently I'm a hater because I try to make people come back down to reality

You imply the tone of "nothing special" when he in fact is, that's what riles people up. Heck CBC is saying that if the playoffs were only 2 rounds he'd be the Smythe winner across the whole league.

Be honest though, you absolutely love downplaying the Senators and Karlsson's accomplishments. That much is clear by now

It's an absolute fact that national media is now grouping EK in with Crosby and McDavid as best hockey player on the planet.

Yeah Karlsson's leadership sucks. In Bizzaro world.

 

[Willy Stylez]

No, my smiley doesn't make what you say wrong - the facts make what you say wrong. He's arguably behind Getzlaf, Malkin, and Rinne in terms of best playoffs this year - and you can't be "among the greatest playoff runs in NHL history" when other people in the same playoffs might be better. Listen, I know you're all excited about your game tonight, and congratulations! But take a breath and try to see things objectively

Haha arguably behind Getzlaf, Malkin, and Rinne? Have you event watch those seriers?
Its Getzlaf and Karlsson. You clearly dont watch games at all.

 

[BondraTime]

A goal is a goal isn't it? Letting in deflating, terrible goals is worse than letting in a clear chance....

 

[Boud]

Lol, this guy trolls.

He's the general commandant of trolls on anything Karlsson related for sure.

 

[Micklebot]

He hasn't been great on LDSC or MDSC, but he has been on HDSC. Big timely saves

Yeah, maybe watch the games instead of spreadsheets. He's not been great at all, looked shaky in many games, gave up terrible, terrible goals. Kelly Hrudey was even talking about it during the intermission, and how he looked far, far better tonight,

 

[Knave]

A goal is a goal isn't it? Letting in deflating, terrible goals is worse than letting in a clear chance....

It's good that you're asking him. Being a Leafs fan he has lots of experience in that department.

i mean it's not like we ever needed any more proof that you don't know what you're talking about.

 

[Ainec]

I wouldn't even give it to Getzlaf as Silfverberg has been just as much of a monster and Draisaitl in the series

Like I don't understand how I'm calling him nothing special here. I've said he is. I mean if I see "MVP of the playoffs" - sure, I won't say anything. "Best defenseman in the playoffs this year" - sure, I can't argue against that. But best player in the NHL? Nope. Having one of the best playoff runs in NHL history? Nope.

And the funny part is, this has nothing to do with him being a Senator. If he played for the Coyotes and their fans praised him this excessively and intensely I'd be doing the same thing

 

[HarrisonFord]

Its Getzlaf and Karlsson. You clearly dont watch games at all.

But like how can someone be having one of the greatest runs in NHL history if he's neck and neck with another player. Is Getzlaf having one of the greatest runs in NHL history?

Let's not pretend that you are as ardent as pointing out the glaring exaggerations of the abilities of players in all of the other threads on HF.

You're not convincing anyone with your "I'm just an objective and neutral outside observer" shtick.

This post is just too funny.

HarrisonFord... poor guy. A good night sleep might do you good. It must be a lot to take when the player you hate the most on the team you hate the most is the best defensemen in the world and top 3 player in the world.

Yeah I've been laughing at this a lot recently.

apparently, Anderson being incredible and carrying the team is the reality.

 

[NyQuil]

I have also said he's not "carrying his team like very few ever have", because Anderson has been incredible.

Sure.

In two games.

Game 4 round 1.

Game 6 round 2.

And I love Anderson and think he's the best goalie in Senators history (outside of Hasek's brief and tragic stint).

 

[Boud]

apparently, Anderson being incredible and carrying the team is the reality.

Man this guy is getting ripped appart.. As if we needed more proof that he has no idea what he's talking about.

In all fairness though, there's only two or three other players who get as obnoxiously hyped up and one of them is on my team. And the other one, Laine, I'm in those threads too.

 

[BondraTime]

Man this guy is getting ripped appart.. As if we needed more proof that he has no idea what he's talking about.

It's been apparent for a long time, tonight it's just very apparent, and keeps digging

 

[HarrisonFord]

Oh yeah, I'm so sad that a group of Sens fans are all feeding off each other.

Here, I'll let you guys have your fun and join the rest of the majority of the boards who just ignore Karlsson threads and let it turn into HFSens: Main boards edition. Have fun

 

[Willy Stylez]

But like how can someone be having one of the greatest runs in NHL history if he's neck and neck with another player. Is Getzlaf having one of the greatest runs in NHL history?

Rinne has been good, but Nashvilles success is more of a team effort not Rinne carrying them.

And again, you clearly dont watch games at all! When you say Anderson has been incredible... you just keep on sinking.
