BLAME MANNING!

manning has been fine

Anyone see Batman v Superman this weekend? I hate to say it but Affleck was probably the best part of that movie.

Not a ringing endorsement to go see it.

I'm a bit more interested in the next Captain America movie. Besides Poison Ivy, never was really into Batman or Superman movies.

Affleck was fantastic. Everything else. Meh. The DC universe outside of Batman is really boring IMO.

(frank)ing Christ

EDIT: is risen

We may not get Steven Stamkos but we should try to be in on him. I love Sean Couturier. His ability to shutdown opposing talent is fantastic but if he can't bring offense on a regular basis, you have to bring in a guy who can. I think a top 6 center is as necessary as filling the titanic sized hole we have on LW.

I'd say he's been bringing offense on a consistent basis... remember assists are points too.. assists lead to goals.. doesn't he currently have like 10 pts in his last 11? Before he was injured he was racking up points. He's looked much better with the puck on his stick this year. Last year he looked like he lacked confidence every time the puck hit his stick. Offensively he's looked like a much different player this year- in my eyes at least.

Mason said after the game that the mask was blocking his vision and he couldn't see anything.

So unless he's a (frank)ing Jedi or a wizard or something, it was a fluke goal. If you want to say he should have flopped or threw the mask off, fine. But he also has no idea where the puck is, how is he to know its not flying at his face at 90 MPH?

I can tell you based on my 36 years of experience that it is not instinctual to remove your mask during the course of play ... Unless the mask is really knocked loose and dangling ...even then the instinct is to want to fix it, not rip it off your head.

If that's what happened here, I totally get Mason's take on it.

But yeah let's blame him for losing the game and hold him accountable whatever the (frank) that means because he's selfish, stupid, and sucks.

Couturier is on a 0.62 PPG rate, which would be 51 points in 82 games. According to stats expert Stephen Burtsch, 50 points is about average for a 1st line player this season. Elite level scoring is 63 points in 82 games

It's easy. Big, pale looking ginger who isn't a durable as Michael Nuevirth-Who has missed action 4 times this year with injury or illness & whose career high of 48 games is two games higher than the fragile Mason's career low-in a full 82 game season-of 46

Thank you. It's happened to me before where the masked has broken a strap or been jarred so that I can't see. It's not like you just shake it off and man up to make a save.

So Giroux is Jesus right, because he was dead and has now risen.
- blacksheep1

He'll play Tommorow night. that was a ridiculous dive. He's making it hard to get behind him with some of the embellishing jobs this year

How do you feel about Bill Barber? He could have won Olympic Gold from the 10 meter board with how good a diver he was. Mark Recchi, too. I'm sure Giroux faked it all the way to missing the last 2:30 of the game when his team needed it's most skilled offensive player

Yah this makes no sense. If he dove or faked it he would have told the trainers and been out there for the face off. To me looking at it many times it looks like he was trying his wait till a player is on you and spin away to make a play. I don't think he expected to get shoved up high putting him head first into the boards while showing his numbers to hanzel.

I missed the game. Just want to make sure I have this right.

1. Mason sucks for not manning up and throwing off his goal mask or knocking the goal off
2. Giroux dove and faked injury and left his team hanging out to dry while fighting for a playoff spot
3. Nick cousins is a pedofile and should be arrested
