What's more boring that watching Higgins play? Arguing about Chris Higgins.
If you choose to look at the entire situation, no you're right. But my point is that you shouldn't be doing that for a single game review. I believe it'd be perfectly justified to question work ethic with respect to that single test, i.e. you didn't study enough for that test or whatever. Saying that you didn't study enough but that's ok because you study most of the time so this instance is devoid of consequences is wrong IMO.
Fehr just came off injury and looked fine. Higgins has had weeks to get ready and should have had at least had some fire in his belly. Instead he didn't give it a second effort all game. Often it isn't the first game back players look bad. Usually they come back hard but then fade. Certainly was't the case here. He floated thru the game. Nothing can legitimize that and he needs to be called out for it. If he can't go he should go to the coach and tell him
Funny about how some ridicule the hell out of Sbisa but give favorites like Higgins an almost blanket pass. Like don't give Higgins a hard time but feel free to pour it on Sbisa as much as you wantl
That is absolutely false. Chris Higgins has been a complete no show in the playoffs.
In the last 3 playoff series' this is his stat line: 15 GP - 1G+1A, 2 points. That's an 11 point pace over 82 games.
During the Cup run he wasn't much better. 25 Games, 4G+4A but to be fair he sacrificed his body numerous times and as a result was banged up.
Lastly the idea that he should be given the benefit of the doubt is laughable. Why? What's he done lately that has shown much? Last year he was poor for long periods and only had few stretches where he was much good. And again he is coming of terrible playoff performance. Why so much so slack for Higgins? You thinking he has been this hard working, gritty night in night out player is trash. Only a person predisposed toward Higgins could see that as true. In reality, he is coming off a poor season, a miserable playoffs and last night was just an extension of this. You can sugar coat it any way you want but Higgins was bad.
Good idea or not, (it is) clubs generally dont send vets for conditioning stints. Somethi g something respect something something paid dues.I was hoping Higgins was going to Utica for a conditioning stint.
Missed most of training camp & the first month of the season, no way he could be expected to be up to game speed.
If you cant see the difference then your lost.
The thing is, you see a lack of compete. It does not mean that there is a lack of compete. You associate compete with skating really fast and making hits which isn't Higgins' game. He is a good two-way player who provides good secondary scoring and happens to do this while not looking like Derek Dorsett. He still tries just as hard as they do.
Your summary was unjust and irrational. I know it, you know it, 90% of the other posters know it and acknowledged it.
Youre too coward too admit it and would rather shift the blame to a sbisa, hater, hypocrisy, defense mechanism debate.
Thus the difference.Ridiculous. Cant sit back and watch you rake a guy for am opinion when you state them daily.
His performance last night was pathetic. It may have been justified, but it was simply poor.

Boy, I do wish we could all use different language and actually be a little more thoughtful in our posts, but if not, this language is nowhere near out of line for the tone of feedback provided on this site

I would be interested in reading your opinion on Sbisa's first game back once he comes back from injury. You better use the word pathetic in your description otherwise you are just a hypocrite
Now you are just incoherent.
Why do always have to appeal to others to support your opinion. Like other people support me so that means I am right. Stand up on your own and support your own statements with some logic and reason and don't rely on others to justify you.
I think your whole Sbisa thing is a result of you feeling safe in a crowd. Others went after Sbisa so you felt let's get on the bandwagon
