Karlsson Carrying the Team - Playoff Warrior

[Bloomfield*]

Is Harrisonford trolling again? Can we ban this guy?

 

[NyQuil]

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.

Right, those are just two players chosen at random.

One plays for a team you clearly dislike:

Makes me feel good knowing that the Sens lose in 5 to either Pitt or Washington

And the other is the direct competition for hype for your own golden boy.

Honestly Harrison, Ottawa could win the Cup with Karlsson winning the Conn Smythe and you'd still downplay his contribution.

There is no question Karlsson has been the best player on the ice these playoffs...not to mention the only player from any of the teams remaining that has single-handedly carried his team to where they are right now.

 

[HarrisonFord]

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.

If there's any team's defence I want it's Nashville's.

Honestly I think you guys give Andy a really unfair shake, but hey

 

[The Winter Soldier]

On another note, the Sens finishing off the series in 6 allows Karlsson atleast 3 to 4 days of rest before the next rd. This is huge.

 

[LudwigVonKarlsson]

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

Well hes no Morgan Reilly thats for sure...

 

[HarrisonFord]

Right, those are just two players chosen at random.

Honestly though, what other players get hyped up to the level of Sens fans on Karlsson, Leafs fans on Matthews, and Jets fans on Laine?

 

[Boud]

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

It was about time you joined the list of people who ignored Karlsson threads. At the same time you can join the list of people who talk about things that they know because you talk a lot on topics where you have no idea what you're talking about. Big mouth, no content. It took for everyone to recognize that Karlsson is a top 3 player in the world for you to finally shut up. Now the real question is: will you actually ignore Karlsson threads or once again just talk smack.

 

[Micklebot]

I guess Kelly Hruddy and all the other analysts that have been critical of his playoffs so far have been giving him an unfair shake too.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Well hes no Morgan Reilly thats for sure...

That made me laugh.

 

[HavlatMach9]

The last time Karlsson played in the playoffs, I think he was taking shots as well. He manages to perform at a dominant level pushing through injuries.

 

[Sting]

Leafs = Nylander/Marner

Habs = Price

From a Leafs fan that is rich.

Any Leafs player having an itchy elbow is a HUGE story.

Can't even take your own advice or just like Ten-Second Tom?

Whatever makes you feel better

I've thought that Andy is in the same group as Holtby. He's getting an unfair shake as well. They've both been great when they need to be

Yeah, but they're not carrying the team.

I mean, c'mon, that's ridiculous.

[HarrisonFord]

Leafs = Nylander/Marner

Habs = Price

Nylander the worst I've seen about him is that he's got #1C potential
Marner I think there's one guy who calls him better than Kane but usually it's Kane-lite

Price you're right about though probably

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

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?

Yes.

 

[Boud]

Actually it would make me feel better if you actually did what you said you would do and go troll on other non-Karlsson related threads.

 

[Here I Pageau Again]

Anderson has literally been a sieve for 75% of these playoffs

Actually only 11% of the time!

But that comment made me die laughing... a goalie with a .900 save percentage is carrying the team... oh man! Cannot get any funnier than that!

 

[HarrisonFord]

Yeah, but they're not carrying the team.

I mean, c'mon, that's ridiculous.

http://www.ottawasun.com/2017/05/02/andersons-gaffe-need-to-stop

But that's not what I said. If that's what it came off as, that's not what I meant. I was just trying to counter the point that he's been carrying the team like almost no other has in NHL history. There definitely have been other contributing members

Anderson has been giving up back breaking soft goals every second game.

No one in their right minds, including Anderson, would say that he has been playing "incredible" he's been quite the opposite and he has .908 to save to back that up.

 

[Whitesnake]

All hail MVP.

 

[Leafs87]

Congrats to the sens. Playing very well and unexpected (to some). Mostly happy to see dion and Ottawa do well as much as I hate (not really although rivalry) Ottawa.

Karlsson is a world class player and he is proving it. Second behind Getzlaf as most important to his teams success IMO.

In the end, the team is winning games, so he's as good as he needs to be. That's very different than how you described his performance thus far though.

If Ottawa hadn't come up with some clutch goals late in games to tie up/win, they would be out already and he would certainly be the goat. I really don't know how you can say he's been great, and that's coming from somebody who has always been very high on Anderson.

Maybe years of watching Reimer, Bernier, Gustavsson, Raycroft, and Toskala have affected your ability to judge quality goaltending...
