Oh Beefy. You always counter w/ "I don't know what you are trying to do here" It's clear what I am doing, and my english has been good enough to articulate over the last few posts as to what I am saying.
Considering you thought "platitude" meant the exact opposite of what it actually means, that's questionable.
Considering you seem to be completely and totally misreading and misunderstanding the interview, there is no level of English proficiency that will make what you're saying clear.
Stop saying this is how media interviews have gone since the day of inception of hockey. Many of interviews have been political in hockey nature, posturing, self reflection and all out frustration. It's always been a mixed bag despite you saying otherwise
I did not say this is how media has worked since the inception of hockey. Either you are a liar, lying about what I've said, or you're demonstrating those comprehension problems I mentioned above.
It is quite important to take into account how hockey/media interaction functions when assessing hockey/media interaction. What would ever compel you to ignore that? It's vital to understanding what you're seeing. That you apparently don't understand it explains how you misread this so badly.
We did not get any of those things in this interview. We got a canned response that Giroux and every other hockey player has given countless times. A platitude, as it were.
So stop acting like CLAUDE GIROUX has only fit one mold despite every outcome
He fit his "we are all accountable gotta try hard" mold with that response. We've seen it time and again, and we will see it until he retires. It's not unique. It's not new. It's not significant. It's a mindless sound bite.
When he says he says he needs to be better w/ no goals in a frustrating Flyers offensive outing thus far in the playoffs..It certainly can mean just that. He believes it...as does the fans, media and his coach to this point
OK. It doesn't serve as proof that he is playing badly, nor is it an admission on his part that he thinks he is doing badly. It's an empty quote that every hockey player uses.
So honestly, I wish I could throw a "what is it you're trying to do here?" post at back at you...but I already know
Keep on with the Thompson, AV and Hagg posts. If forbid we lose, you can tell us how G and Coots and their 1 goal performances in 2 playoff series weren't the guys who needed to be blamed or stepped up
When Giroux plays bad, I call him out; the fact is that he is doing all the right things to create goals and production, hence why he is one of the most productive players we have. He will score goals if he keeps doing these things; it hasn't happened now, because that's how hockey works some times. It's unbelievable that needs to be explained to you. Also, Couturier played badly last game and I lashed him for it. You're ignorant, and you are spouting ignorance. Inform yourself before you look any worse. Stop making claims about what I do or say that are fantastically wrong.
Hagg, Thompson, and AV have been massive problems holding the team back. Giroux and Couturier have been generating the offense that has carried those massive problems.
