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?
I got 2 young kids in hockey. So next season when they have games and when one of them scores a goal, is it OK after the game to just slap them on the back and say "nice goal" or should I say "nice goal but you missed the net 3 times plus there was the 2 last game you missed and the 4 the game before". I wouldn't want to be too sunshine and rainbows after all.
|
If you want them to be truly great, you definitely have to point out the misses :)
|
If I employ the Adam way of thinking which is beat down a player for past bad deeds, I could either have 2 sons that despise me or future NHL superstars.
|
The problem for so many parents on the way to turning their kids into doctors and dentists and lawyers :) At some point you likely will need to make the call and pick 1 kid to focus all your energy on.
haha, ok, starting to get dark maybe. Maybe just letting kids have fun is actually the way to go :P
|
While I am extremely competitive, I think sports should be fun especially for kids so I try to keep the criticism of their game to a minimum. The primary focus for any comments on their game being on things they can control like their effort. So making sure to try their best in whatever they do. I think that is a good habit to have for any person.
I try to avoid beating them down about the mistakes they make, try to avoid bringing up past mistakes and point out how it's a pattern or who they are as a player.
