Thanks Adam. We can always count on you to come in here and remind us how lousy some players can be at times. You even went into detail about Smith's stats after he posts a shutout because none of us are smart enough to know that he can't sustain a .985% .
Even gave us bonus material about Nurse not being able to sustain his what calculates out to be a 31 goal pace over 82 game season. Great stuff!!
|
I was responding specifically to someone asking why people have been negative on Smith and suggesting that it is based only on the fact that he had one really bad game in the playoffs - and pointing out that that isn't accurate.
I would appreciate if you could let me know just the right balance of realism versus sunshine and roses is appropriate. It would really help me out.

All good man. If me being happy my team won a game and giving a hat tip to the guys that helped make that happen in that game means I am sunshine and rainbows, then I guess that's what it is. Sport is supposed to be fun and enjoyable so I just never understood the point of focusing on the negative and basically waiting for something bad to happen. For some people that is their thing I guess. You call it realism so that means as a fan, we can't just enjoy success, we have to be sitting waiting for something bad to happen to be real?

Nope. Enjoy the wins. I did. I said as much.
But if you're analyzing the team, you need to be realistic about where the holes are. And if someone wants to point to a single game or stretch and think it's changed who Mike Smith is, or who Jujhar Khaira is, then they're fooling themselves.
As I said, someone called out earlier takes on Mike Smith on the basis that he had a shutout last night. As someone who made those takes, I defended the stance. I'm sorry if you think I should only have pom poms (unless crapping on young players who haven't developed optimally).
"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
