I wasn't defending anyone either time I pointed it out over the last few weeks, nor am I now. It happens, the Devils do it, whether you see it or not doesn't matter, enough other people do. Maybe stop looking at it from a severson argument and you will realize. I said from the start I'm not on either side of this debate about him, solely pointing out the fact that blind passes to the slot are a thing and it will bite them if they play the same team a few times in a row. Which they are scheduled to do very soon.
No, but defending Severson because other do it (Which I will never believe it's actually done on purpose) is not an argument to defend his stupid play.
Every player that f***s up gets shit, see Zacha, see Mirco, see Vatanen, etc, but I've never witnessed anything like it in regards people defending Severson. It's completely ridiculous. Dude was sat by our coach because he plays like he's playing pond hockey. Another player came in and actually solidified our defense, and queue the "Mueller played vs shit teams", Severson was sat because he was terrible on top of that it was against shit teams also.
People don't want to admit it because they don't want to admit they are wrong, but Severson hasn't shown any progress since he's been in the league, after having chance after chance, yet other players we're put in his position and the team has looked better. Scoring 60 but allowing 70 isn't better then scoring 50 and allowing 40.
Severson must be the second most hyped defenseman in in my time watching that isn't living up to the hype
