Who says they really are? Lighting that fire under his a*** seems to be working just fine.

I get that Spooner is having a great game, but its ONLY one game. Where has he been all year? I'm not getting my hopes up.

Well if he wasn't moved up and down the line up like a yoyoo after making a boo boo perhaps he could play better.

**** yea...the only reason im even being annoying pro-spooner is because of all the ridiculous spooner hate ive read on these boards.
I honestly dont think he has consistently been a defensive trainwreck like some people love to portray...I swear it's like this weird line of thinking, when he first enter the league he did struggle greatly defensively and ever since, he can't shake the stigma of being a defensive trainwreck
and the reality is, especially this season, he hasnt.
He just hasnt.
He didnt look good early on with Backes and Krejci (who was playing some of the worst hockey ive seen him play)
But in terms of being the root cause of goals against...I don't recall many where he was the direct result of goals against, where I can easily recall times when Nash, Czarnik, Beleskey, Hayes, Backes, Krejci, Bergeron, Mcquaid, C.Miller, K.Miller have directly been responsible for goals.
Sadly I just don't think people care enough and it's easy to continue to label Spooner is terrible at defense.
I am not saying he is good, but I havent seen his defensive deficiencies really hurt the bruins too many times so far this season.
So happy he is responding to the adversity and last 5 games he has been very good.

I'm not a Mcquaid hater but oh my god...another bad game..how on earth does he get a free ride and Morrow goes to pressbox?
this isnt even irrational Mcquaid hate, I love him...but man every time he just panics when the puck gets near him.

Also keep Blidh, I like him...Hayes outplayed.
Imagine a 4th line of Blidh-Moore-Acciari
lots of forecheck n hitting, maybe not enough experience for Clode to trust but...would be interesting.
edit..then goal.
blah
