neither have I...
He's been pillaged by those running the asylum for a couple plays that were not his fault.
- The late goal against vs Ottawa is completely on Ennis. Myers was executing the system, Ennis was not.
- The Tampa OT goal... not sure what everyone was blaming Myers for on that one. Tampa got a lucky bounce and Vanek was floating... both had more impact then Myers getting slightly turned around on a quick play.
I'm curious what people actually think a top-pairing defenseman actually is. Is it an image of Myers, hanging from the top of the Empire State Building, swatting tiny forwards away from him while he clutches Tyler Ennis in his other hand?
There have been a few mistakes, sure. And yet, there seems to be a groundswell of "see! see!!!" every time he does anything wrong.
Ray the other night is harping on Myers to take the man on the Crosby goal... the guy coming out of the left wing corner to the net who goes right through the LD on that play -- McBain. He did the same thing later on. The Ennis mistake, same sort of thing from Ray -- oh, that's on the D.... uhhhh, no.
