Filatov taking a hooking penalty when he mostly sits on the bench, dry as a bone, not breathing heavily -- *that* is a lazy penalty. If the guy is running around because he was out of position in the first place -- but still running around to the best of his abilities -- that is not a lazy penalty. Poor positioning, maybe out of shape (or tired after the road trip and game-day travel). Sure there are some lazy penalties, but not all.Hoags wrote:I'd say Neely is right. The team is playing sloppy and taking lazy penalties even MacLean said so. That will hopefully straighten itself out. I do think the Sens get little benefit of the doubt from the refs for whatever reason but they give the refs lots of easy textbook calls.
I'd say it's a good sign when we win games we don't deserve to win, that's how you ride out games when you play like Dung, whether it's your goalie who bails you out or the teams scores 5-6 goals. These points will be money come April.
Things should settle down in the next month as the team gets more time together and more practice time. MacLean is too good of a coach to let this Dung slide. Maybe a person or two will get sent down and called up from Bingo if they have to, I'd say that is likely.
As for PMac saying they are lazy, he says a lot of things. Sometimes it just an expression, you know? Plus he's just a fisherman from down East.
