My opinion gets dismissed as "hullabaloo" (PC for something else, we're told) and "utter crap" (by a forum moderator, no less), and I'm the dick.For added fun, there are mysterious "egos" here that are "entertaining" for not melting into a sycophantic puddle because a couple of guys disagree with them. Never mind that you and ruxpin also have maintained your "I'm right, you're wrong" positions, too. Only much more offensively.*i* think it makes a difference that emery has seen the Rangers twice in a row. Enough that a goalie change is not an obvious choice. I've tried to explain why, and I'm sorry I haven't been convinced otherwise by "nu-uh, that's utter crap" and a pair of post-game comments.While we're at it, @ruxpin, I think it a pretty fair sized mess when a mod castigated posters for being annoyed at cross - child board trolling, in the name of inclusion and growing the forum, and then two weeks later dismisses opinions and entire lines of discussion as meritless gibberish posted by people who haven't the foggiest clue what they are talking about. Which is it? Is this kumbiya land, or is it inappropriate to be a dismissive jackass? lol.. you mad bro!? Link to comment

Podein25 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 @hf101 Why did you edit/delete @aziz's harangue? It was great reading!! I've never played goal, except for once in lacrosse - never again! - but it sounds like Mason is struggling with concussion-like symptoms. He himself said the practice the other day exhausted him completely. Until a doctor says he is 100% and has a full practice without fatigue, Emery has to start. Razor is a competitor with lots yet to prove. I don't mind having a guy like that at this stage of his career getting the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanflyer Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Even if I was ready, there's no reason to take him out now." And thus why he should be between the pipes if ready. Seriously, is that an easy out then? I don't see mason as a non gamer and thought all season he is a gamer. If its getting a teammates back and juicing it up, fine. If its I am scared.....oh never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podein25 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 @Vanflyer Seems to me Mason is just trying to be a good teammate and inspire confidence in the team. I can't imagine a pro athlete not wanting to play on the big stage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I think emery's having seen these shooters for several periods in a row is of benefit, you find it funny that he gets scored on. Do I have your tendencies right, here?

Look, if you're gonna be so headstrong about your opinions, learn to accept the criticism when you're wrong, which is quite often. Link to comment
ruxpin Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I mentioned in the other thread that I really only saw the first period before passing out (really sick among a lot of stress). Was this game really goaltending? It didn't appear that way to me in the first period. Maybe Mason provides them a jump (who knows?) but I don't care if it's Mason or Emery or Bryz or Stevie Wonder, the goalie can't score on the power play and he can't make the team stop taking insane penalties. The goalie cannot win important faceoffs in the defensive end or make sound clears or move his feet in the offensive end. All joking aside, the goalie discussion is moot if the rest of the team is playing as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
