doom88 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I might be in the minority here, but I do feel bad for the guy. Hopefully, this will be the last injury for a while. He certainly has paid in advance at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 @doom88 I never got all the hate for the teams leading goal scorer. For years people wanted a guy who could effortlessly score, and Carter came in and did just that. He's no blue collar hero. He was paid accordingly. He was ok defensively. He was our best faceoff man. He could have been a much better player. So could Briere. So could Hartnell. So could Coburn. So could just about anyone else. But other than Avery, i don't wish injury on anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But other than Avery, i don't wish injury on anyone.Good post. I was not a Carter fan by any stretch as I saw the flaws in his game such as corner work, shying away from contact, not going into high traffic areas to score goals, his shoot first and shooting percentage but I too would never wish injury on anyone (except Avery, preferably a Sheldon Souray slapshot to the groin area). Plus how can Flyer fans hate Carter when we received Jake and Couts in return> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podein25 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 So could just about anyone else.You could definitely be better. At hating.I thought you were on an excellent path toward #hating with your anti-Bryzgalov screeds, but, alas, you are showing your true softie colours.

JackStraw Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) @Podein25 - This forum definitely benefits from more use of the word "screed". Edited January 9, 2012 by JackStraw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podein25 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 @JackStraw - I'm hopeful that it's actually a real word. If itsn't, that's fine too I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podein25 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 @JackStrawAre you suggesting I go get drunk, rip my clothes to shreds, pour and level some concrete and then jump online and rant for a bit?How would that be different than most of my days?

flyerrod Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Carter probably separated his shoulder when he tripped over his tampon string........and for the record, the hate he receives is because of his skills. Not because he doesn't have them but because he rarely plays like he is even slightly interested in the game. Just imagine how good Carter would be if he had Lappy's heart.......

flyercanuck Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I agree with you Rod. Goal scorers usually seem to have this 'holier than thou" thing about them But as far as his wage/results ratio he was ok in my books. Yes he could have been better.
