I don't envy Maurice in this situation. Its clear neither him nor the team are particularly happy about Brendan's mental boot (could be alt-ctrl-del type, but is in fact only alt-del). Now they all bother and think it whole damn week. Would have been better now with tighter schedule. How PoMo or anyone can isolate Brendan's impact from Data conserning the game performances of others? How you can truly evaluate anything really to their fullest in conclusions about Panthers series, when it's clear that Brendan's mental lapse was at magnitude on which it impacted directly and immediately to the performances of rest of the team, in that game?
I think there are no enough highly competent professional nurses and doctors to handle properly with clearly a type of hockey you could think is played in a mental institution. How they can dose sedatives appropriately? Yes, yes, players are professionals and all, but still I think they didn't lose that game solely on Ice and by on ice performances, they lost it also within their heads.
We need only search for our own feelings and thoughts about this matter to know something about the effect and impact Brendan's gooning may have caused in his team mates minds, the team as a whole was forced to search those exactly same feelings already when still playing hockey. It would have been best for the team to get back to business faster after that game...
Friday, right? Its gonna looooooong therapy session, results of unclear.
