Tired of All the Excuses

[Guest Crymson]

I'm tired of people talking about how injuries are the reason we're struggling right now. While injuries are a big factor, none of our injured players are coming back anytime soon, so don't expect anything to change there. I'm more willing to point the finger at the underachievers right now. Here's a list of all the guys who are currently underperforming in my opinion even though they're healthy and in the lineup.

Lidstrom

Datsyuk

Bertuzzi

Holmstrom

Cleary

Zetterberg

Rafalski

Leino

That's a lot of talented players on that list, yet they're all struggling terribly. We should be able to win games just from that list alone, even without the injured players. So we need to stop blaming it entirely on bad luck and injuries, and instead blame the guys on that list.

These players have no current excuse for their struggles.

Tired of all the excuses? Go find another team. Clearly this one isn't giving you the success you feel you're entitled to.

Since when does "decent young goalie" mean the same thing as "excellent"?

We make these goalies look better than what they really are.

Considering the fact that both are young and on terrible teams, look at their stats.

Btw, as one person said, look at Luongo. One of the top goalies in the league, but when he was on Florida, no one gave him a chance. A good goalie can help a team, but even Roy would look like crap on Nashville or Atlanta.

Classic Crymson post.

Never has anything to say other than labeling other people bandwagoners.
