DaMacNamedDre Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Hey, the rest of the team, including the whole Amex line, deserves a lot of criticism too, but for the most part they haven't underperformed for the better part of two years like Raymond has. We get it, you're a Raymond apologist..... and you've been getting a lot of practice at it for two years now. I'll give you credit for being a loyalist towards him, but a major fail for being able to be a realist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlas=d Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 The guy is one of our best forwards right now. He is backchecking, hitting effectively, not falling, creating chances and generally doing everything but scoring, which is more than one can say about a lot of people. This is people's reasoning to give Kesler a free pass. - He was injured and missed training camp - The PP is struggling; so naturally he will too - He gives 100% consistently - He is defensively solid Yet, the funny thing is, Raymond does the same things Kesler does. - He was injured and missed training camp (even worse injury) - He was taken off the PP (also, the PP sucking should have something to do with its members. Kesler is a member) - He gives 100% consistently - He is defensively solid But Raymond can be hated upon with impunity? He doesn't even have close to Kesler's ice time either. Why is he being hated on now? He's doing nothing wrong other than scoring (nobody is scoring). He actually hits, and he knocked down a few people from his hits. I also saw him jawing at Brown the shift after he hit Henrik (shows he's really passionate). I saw him skating hard and backchecking. I saw him make some good passes (eg. to Lapierre in front of the net in period 1). So why is he being hated on? Of course, not all of CDC is, but there are too many people bashing him than necessary IMO. Edit: Why does nobody actually read my point? These arguments again are : He isn't scoring, he is falling down, he can't make a pass. He isn't scorng, but Kesler isn't either. He ISN'T falling and he IS making passes as of now. It's a dumb time to hate on him and people just think he's still bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weber's Playoff Beard Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Kesler has dove more in this series than Raymond has fallen. True story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smyl ( : Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 We don't need anymore finesse player's..especially for the playoff's...Booth won his spot outright, we need somebody that can operate in front of the net for those dirty garbage goals...skill players are now passe'....these here are prison rule's son.

Canuck7611 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Raymond is disgusting. He tries to put a hit on Kopitar and can't even impede his progress. At least take a penalty but DO NOT ALLOW A 2 on 1 you overpaid feline girl!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrath_jason Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 after that missed hit on Kopitar and costing a goal, Raymond is just throwing fuel on the fire. He will not be back next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdnucksfan Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 it will stop briefly when he scores a goal...then the ensuing 30 games he doesnt, itll come right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanucksSayEh Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Yea he screwed up, but how many times has hamhuis and edler done the same thing in this series alone. Raymond is playing hard every shift, that cant be said for the majority of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uber_pwnzor Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 If he's traded, yes. If he winns the Conn Smythe, Art Ross and Hart trophies, yes. Otherwise, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
