lol anyway... I'll leave you have your way with that. If my hockey posting makes you believe that, then good for you and congrats for your internet psychoanalysis skillz. I can do that too, so I don't think I have problems assessing the biases and paranoia reflected in posts. We're not talking about anything else than hockey here. Everyone is certainly very different in other spheres of life (internet is not real life), and I hope it's the case for you as well because it would be mad creepy. lol
Karlsson has been crap for HIS standards, but not as bad as your posting
Biancosaurus for you! And calm down with that or I could find it condescending
And seriously, a team that is 5-3-2 didn't have many ups? You talk like the team is crap and barely deserve to be a NHL team... Do you listen to yourself sometimes or maybe that's all you can do?
So let's stop quoting ourselves all right? I almost never agree with what you say and many times I'm scratching my head "where the heck that idea came from?". Sometimes it doesn't even compute in my head, we have no affinity on the subject. I'm actually even considering putting you on ignore because I just dislike reading your posts and it would be the first time I use that function in 7 years. Thanks
I see a lot of quality plays that Legwand makes and the goals and assists he scored were not fluke. Let's realize that he plays a shutdown role with not the most talented players...
FACTS tell me they haven't been scored against a lot so far this season :

I'm sure some people will be surprised by those facts, and their argumentation could take a heavy hit.
That's the problem I have with the board in general. Many people make up their judgments based on plays they liked or didn't like. For my part, I look up at cold straight facts, then mix it with my observations and then make my judgments and form an opinion. David Legwand has been
effective. Just don't expect him to ALWAYS be effective or look good when you're looking at him.
I know it's early but it reminds me already of Sergei Gonchar in Ottawa and how I defended him for what he brought. It took a while for people to appreciate him, more like when he was gone
Yes but how do you do that? Do we want to teach young guys how to lose? Thing is that the Sens are probably trying to emulate the Bruins and Wings, not the Oilers and Sabres...
David Legwand is actually 4th in TOI/G among the Ottawa Senators forwards

Do I need to say anything more? Don't think it will be necessary... But yes, so far Legwand plays with 4th liners (Hoffman, Neil, Smith)... so if you're expecting 50-60 pts out of him this year, you're out of bounds.
Many canadian hockey fans... are fanatics (remember they booed Kuba and Gonchar in Ottawa as well, and don't they boo Chara?). But if you don't think Habs fans are more supportive and loyal to their team, then I don't know what to say. Come here to witness it maybe? It's not really comparable. I'm not sayin they're not blind, etc but they have qualities that this fanbase can only dream about.
For example... Do you really think they would let another fanbase swarm into their arena?
No it's there... Close (x) in the middle first
