Over There
Just tuned in to the game and here. Gotta say, it's disappointing on many fronts! The boys having another tough start, my number 1 fantasy dman getting ejected...oof!

I still have Sanderson in this game, so hopefully he gets motivated to pick a corner rather than crest and lights the lamp. He's gotta be due, right?

Man for the haters of Karlsson as a Captain and player guy caaried bunch of scrub years in year to playoff and deep playoffs he marginal player with made them all better.Our Captain right is total shit as player or Captain only good thing he has is size of his body and front net presence , last name and like to yapping to oppnent players or media. No urgency in his no improvement for now 3 or 4 years, doesn't lead by exemple like some fan here thinks or media.

The guy is not 21 years old anymore that's the age of Stu and Sanderson. At some point you gotta show you growed as a player.Always same plays , no effort on D zone bonehead play or penalities. Off ice probably like to dance and drink some beers. Can't blame Norris cause not his fault if he suck cause of injuries and got paid that money but you have to blame Tkachuk for many reasons and yeah Chabot is in the same boat other players that suck right now are youger not paid same money are not part of leadership group.
Anyone hating in Karlssons time in Ottawa is an idiot plain and simple. This guy almost carried the poorest team in the world to a cup finals. Amazing player and Captain.

Did you see Karl's assist on Crosby's 600th goal tonight? He makes it look so effortless.

somehow it became populate to hate on him. On one leg led the charge to the conference finals. Was a one man breakout for years. Played high speed entertaining hockey.

some fans: Nah, not for me.

Contract hold out.
Tweeting $$$ signs when his buds get premature 8×8 deals.
Have his wife and child even stepped foot in Ottawa?

He's 'player first' mentality. Same as his old man and brother. A mercenary. Fantastic talent, fantastic player - maybe not someone you want leading the group.

I'm not even mad or complaining. Good for him. Get as much as you can while you can. I'm not married to my job either. Lets just call a spade a spade.

If he were drafted by some low tax, easy way of living team in the USA; I'm sure he would have had a long successful 1 team tenure wearing an 'A' and chillin - same as his his old man and brother.

Start acknowledging the patterns.

Signed at a discount and had to deal with Eugene Melnyk all those years. Anyone who seriously is talking shit about Karlsson @ me so I can put you in your place.
