Exactly
And I dont like the fact kalrsson is defending him so much
It stinks
I have a bad feeling about this
I could easily see king karl asking to
Be trade to the swedish house team
And everybody knows how the sens handle such demand in the past
Karlsson is...special. He doesn't understand yet the subtleties of NHL rivalry and the appropriateness of avoiding the enemy. He's been affected, to put it nicely, by living with Alfredsson. We'll see how he plays tonight. If at any point he fails to defend Alfredsson that may be a warning sign.
He was not saying that the quote specifically is why he wasn't considered. He was saying that his maturity level and personality were, and that the quote was an example of that.
Your experience might be different than others. Other people have found him stand-offish and have a 'better than you' attitude.
Yep, Karlsson has been acting his age or younger a little too often. He turned down a fan request for an autograph in Toronto, his tweets have been bizarre and he's been very cavalier. He's only 23 but that needs to change soon. Be Karlsson skill-wise but be Chris Phillips off the ice.
1000x THIS. I am starting to get sick of all the "reasons" people keep insinuating about why he left Ottawa pinning it on the players that are still here. Are people not fans of OUR team?!? Why is it that this perceived laissez-faire attitude that was running rampant throughout our locker room NOT attributed to the captain. As captain, it's his job to corral the youth and develop that attitude of winning. Don't tell me that a 17 year veteran can't get some exuberant kids to settle down and focus on winning. If that's the case, he wasn't much of a captain anyways and we're better off without him trying to replace him with actual leadership.
I'm getting mighty sick of the deification of the false God that is Alfredsson.
I'd say that Alfie playing through countless injuries, taking less money to help the team, spending tons of time with Big Brothers & Sisters, the Royal Ottawa Hospital and other places and fairly carrying the team for the past 7-8 years gives him a bit of a free pass.
Of course we all want the Senators to win, we all do as we're fans, but no one in this franchise's history has been more important than Alfredsson. This wound will take time to close, but beating the Wings would go a long way toward that. Losing to the Wings, as would losing to the Maple Leafs or Canadiens, is simply unacceptable.
Phillips out?

Première rotation en défensive: Méthot-Karlsson, Cowen-Corvo, Wiercioch-Gryba. #Sens #ledroit
That's great news. Phillips is a ****ing plug.
