I'd be pretty interested to see the reaction from fans if things happened in a different order. Imagine: a) Spezza scores that same goal, only it was our 2nd of the game, b) Smyth's goal counts but happens at the end of the 2nd period, and c) Kopitar's goal ties the game with a couple minutes left in the 3rd and we lose in OT.
Do you think Ottawa fans would give a Dung about the beauty goal? I think the point is that that type of play is pretty much unacceptable. It was possibly the most amateur giveaway you'll see in the league this year.
I dunno about that. That giveaway on Spezza's first shift of his first game this year might have to take precedence.
Needless to say, I agree wholeheartedly with what you're saying. Or the other way around.
I'm quite disappointed with you rooney. Surely someone of your purported letter would recognize a preposterously fallacious argument when they saw one. "Agreeing wholeheartedly with it" is stupefying to say the least.
WTF? cash said "I think the point is that that type of play is pretty much unacceptable." Which is the point with which I agree wholeheartedly.
Roche's argument above, btw, is the preposterous one. Spezza created the 0-1 down low in the first two minutes of the game (where Brown was all alone and Lecaire made a huge save). Carkner was on the guy, and Spezza left the front of the net to join in, leaving Brown open.
Watch the first 10 seconds of the TSN highlights in the game. That's the play he's referencing. You serious think that's a great decision on Spezza's part, to double cover Kopitar and leave Brown and the front of the net wide open? Yikes.
