Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted September 27, 2009 Where do these guys get their info. I have read reports on last nights game v Leafs, but i have to ask the question where do these reporters get the info from. Surely they weren't watching the game? There is one point in question that makes me wonder, and its very minor I know but consider the facts. quote; Gustavsson's best save came in the third period when Johan Ryno and Jan Mursak got free on a breakway. The Swedish goalie calmly slid across his crease to block Mursak's shot, eliciting the largest cheer all evening from the crowd. The above quote has been reported in 3 different reports by various reporters. Well having watched the game live over here on a live feed via the Leafs network i can clear up the facts. Mursak broke away down the right wing with speed and Ryno going down the left with him on a 2 on 0 breakaway. He then feed a tape to tape pass onto Ryno's stick who fired a one timer that Gustavsson did save with his pads. Now call me petty, but as Mursak is 5'11" and Ryno is 6'5" I can see how these 2 players must have confused the 'attending' reporters!! What do we believe from these guys? For what its worth, I felt that the young guys overall did well, Ritola looked good and I thought that Delmore had some good wheels and could be more than a call up guy, if Meech or Lebda are let go. A big plus is the puck skills of Leino, I think he could fill the void left by Rex and some. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulwoodsfan 52 Report post Posted September 27, 2009 Considering how often play-by-play announcers and colour commentators (not Ken and Mickey but lots of others, including network guys in both countries) call Datskuk "Zetterberg" and vice versa, it's pretty hard to get pissed at print reporters who in some cases have never seen either Mursak or Ryno in person before last night.
