Amazes me when some posters on a game topic are more concerned about what the great loud fans are doing in block 13 rather than commenting on the game itself....maybe time we had a separate topic for standing block 13 etc.
As for me, I looked back on my comment after last nights game and though maybe I was being a little harsh.......having watched the ‘highlights’. Now I am even more surprised how exposed we left ourselves throughout the game ! When we concede goals it’s automatic we ( me ) blame the D. But forwards not picking up opponents coming through are as responsible for giving up goals as our D, sometimes more so. Richie was caught badly out of position - puck watching - so many times last night it was frightening ( so unlike him ) but it’s a fact. People have mentioned we miss the speed of Mosey, yes, but he is a forward and not a temp D man, I am in no doubt we are missing a stay at home D man who will not get caught out skating forward when it’s just not necessary. So after a good few games, I have to say I am not convinced in the defensive qualities of either Jardine or McMonagle, take your pick in my view. Too early in the season to say so..I dont think so, hence my view.
