Weave

Processing what you don't see and adding it to what you do see pretty much is the definition of situational awareness. It's what keeps soldiers alive in the battlefield and workers safe in busy warehouses. Casey has NHL talent, yet he's a fringe player. Situational awareness is one thing that separates the good players from the mediocre ones. It may very well be that Casey Nelson is s fringe player because he lacks good situational awareness.

Picasso’s is a Santoras spin off. Family, I’m pretty sure. Very similar. That pic makes me miss Buffalo pizza.

https://wgr550.radio.com/articles/news/sabres-nelson-didnt-see-eichel-get-hit I am still unconvinced that he wouldn’t have had some situational awareness here.

LOL “we aren’t changing anything”. Hey, brah, you stop watching or something?

3 pages at faceoff.

SDS, I will say it is refreshing that you are actively engaging in the conversations more. I certainly appreciate it.

Regarding your first paragraph, no it doesn’t come down to my opinion on that. Not anymore anyway. We have evidence and on ice results now to gauge what happened. There is no evidence or on ice results that indicate that the team is improved by his absence, so addition by subtraction simply isn’t a viable claim any more. I’ll grant that the move could have been justified by that rationale but we cannot call it a success based on that rationale. If making the team better simply by removing ROR from the dressing room was the goal (addition by subtraction) mission not accomplished. You know when the locker room was better? When they were winning. The issues in that room weren’t about ROR. They were about a collection of highly competitive people being on a team that was not built to win. We’re seeing the same thing now. Skaters calling out goalies, Goalies calling out skaters, “we need to show up prepared”, “I need to be better”. The only thing different is the guy saying it into the microphone. Addition by subtraction sure sounded good. But it didn’t happen.

I can't..... Read.....This...

That was easy.

My point questioning the math was, the justification for trading ROR was that moving him was addition by subtraction. Well, we subtracted, where was the addition? Did the team become less mopey? No. Do they still suck? Yes. Like I said in a previous thread, the only thing that changed is Eyeore has a young face now. You can’t vall the ROR trade an addition bu subtraction trade anymore. That math doesn’t add up. The results are right here and now as evidence.

I still don’t see how situational awareness shouldn’t be a major factor in the criticism. Whistle, pause, board hit, star and captain on the ice with zadorov standing over.

LOL Berglund was the difference maker. You a funny guy.

You are running out of time. Be safe out there.

My freezer is out of walleyes. Good thing the Fall perch bite was pretty solid this season.

Except when the mathematical proof didn't solve properly.

Came for this. Left satisfied..

I'd like to see that data that shows the economy and employment not recovering and growing during the Obama administration. That claim counters everything I've seen. You'll need to back that one up with sources. Yes, deficit spending increased under Obama. Deficit spending is understood by economists everywhere as the correct response to a recession. He did inherit a recession from Bush. And he handed over a healthy economy to Trump by all measures I've ever seen. Deficit spending during a healthy economy..... now that is a response that makes no economic sense.

Medical necessity. A solid justification for denying yourself of the better things in life. I get it. The gross part? Denial.

Fat is flavor. Why do you hate favor?

Is this supposed to be dirty? Cuz in my head it seems dirty.

Amen, brother.

I think what fans really want to see is a team that rallies around their wronged star. Esprit de corp. Sense of team. Passion for the victimized. Regardless of how it is displayed. Peppering the goalie with shots and sneaking one through on the ensuing powerplay is just as satisfying as any facewash or rabbit punch.

I think this is a valid criticism.

Does. Not. Compute.

Who else but Reinhart and Skinner would you expect to respond to this? They were the other two forwards on the ice, and likely the only two other players in the vicinity when the check was thrown. Other than Nelson. Nelson should have been in on the shenanigans.
