True, but when you look at winning percentage, they're still only 4 from the bottom. I still feel they're going to finish hard though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have liked LD to answer differently though in that circumstance....like ' Why are you pissy to me?' ...." Oh, I dont like you or your questions...now, do you have a question about hockey?" Don't get me wrong, LD is one of my favourite players, but part of his job is to be the spokesman for his team and I didn't see any reason for his attitude to the original question. In my opinion he did get oussy with him.......it was a very immature interaction on LD's part. He's got a lot of media experience, he should know better, imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post johngould21 Posted January 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2022 Once again Poolman played a very solid defensive game last night. The team is so much better back there with Burroughs in the lineup, and the limited minutes he plays. Is this Shaws' influence on the D? This team went through a gauntlet of 5 of the best teams in the NHL, and earlier I said I'd be giddy with 5 points. They got 4 and I'm happy. They only have to stay out of Covid protocol if that's possible. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Leon can't take that kind of money and not be accountable either. He doesn't need to throw his team under the bus to answer the question, he could talk about himself needing to do more but we all know that team is built around two guys and just two guys so thats not going to happen either.

I wouldnt mind if he said 'I'm just here so i don't get fined' I know he gets paid a lot and has media experience. Just always have supported any athletes desire to shut up and play Because ultimately 'playing' is why he gets paid so much...not 'talking' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have blamed the press for how the team was playing, throw it back in JM's face. Also should have said, pissy? I'm not pissy, I'm ticked off that you want me to throw the blame on one particular person. I said that we have to improve everything...what part of that do you not understand? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was insulting, like name calling. That's just it. The moment he called LD Pissy, all structure of professionalism was lost. A team is going through a pretty rough steak, player is frustrated and gave a crappy interview. If I'm the reporter, I'd take the high road rather than doubling down and escalating the situation. That followed by commenting on Leon acting frustrated against Sens took it to another level. Jim needs a vacation. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Nice effort by the boys. I want Burroughs as a regular. His mistakes in the d-zone will only go away with experience. Poolman is still an adventure some shifts. Podz-Petey-Hogs in the 2nd we’re more than exciting. I can see BB’s concern over Hogs d-side game as he turned the puck a couple of times. Dickenson-Lammy-Highmore were also very solid. Maybe the goal was lucky but their o-zone play was fast and physical which is very needed. The goal was earned the hard way. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunt has been awful whereas Burroughs shows great hockey sense and even fights. I feel he needs to work on his pinches more (maybe just don't do it), but other than that I've been impressed with him and see loads of potential. Same with Poolmam; he just needs to play as a shutdown D and refrain from thinking he's an offensive dman. I know we need more points from our D, but less goals against always helps too. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
