No outrage here and certainly not false outrage as you surmise. Just sticking to the facts.....it didn't work and the Sens lost the game!
The bold parts contradict each other.
In retrospect, what I don't like about that move is you show the goalie the puck is going to be on the ice.
Well by that logic his parents both are part of the reason why the sens failed last night
That move last night was a total embarrassment. He had no chance on that. I don't blame him though. I blame the Coach for putting him in there above Latendresse . That was truly stupid. GG though, even though we got sloppy in the second and a lot of the third.

Just curious: it's the shoot out at the end of the game against Boston, you're the coach and you have to select the shooters. What's your pecking order? Here's mine:
1- Silf <- I think there's consensus there...
2- Turris <- same here
3- Latendresse <- bumped up because he scored
4- Alfie <- gone cold lately, loses his spot on the top 3
5- Stone <- now going through the rest of the skilled guys
6- Ziba <- see above
7- Daug <- the earlier goal he scored was a fluke, but still ahead of other guys skillwise
etc.
I would give Smitty a shot in the shootout. He's shown some moves.
You don't know for sure what he's going to do until he does it. I'm not trying to laud this as the greatest thing since unsliced Karlsson, but I had seen Daug's AHL spin move, and I still wasn't sure if he was going to change it up.
Gee somebody should tell MacLean he may want to start evaluating his players to try and figure out if any of them have what it takes to score in a shootout.
Wait...
That's strictly the retrospective view, though.
Let's say he gets to this point and turns his stick back to the conventional position:

I love posts like this that basically point out that every single ****ing conversation on the internet, or in a bar, or about the decisions of people in other places anywhere are totally redundant.
Everyone knows he evaluates players. We're just talking about the evaluation. Sheesh. What a useless post.
Pet peeve of mine.
