Montreal W.P.R.


June 15, 2014 Montreal QC

 Pass? Or Fail?

 7 Ron – Someone has to be ranked 7th, and Ron’s lack of enthusiasm for defense really did shine, as was predicted, landing him in this spot.

 6 Mike W – Everyone kept saying he was riding high after his 2 goals (in a losing effort) in game 1….If riding high means scoring no goals and missing wide open nets in the next 4 games, what would riding low consist of? Maybe he should’ve listened to that sideline spectator and not have tried so hard.

 5 Brett – I don’t know what I expected from Brett in net. I can’t really say that I was surprised he gave up a weak goal in almost every game. His first step in getting his game to the next level this year is learning how to stop a bus (not Jerome Bettis) from scoring. But he did get unnoticeably better each game I thought.

 4 Nick – Remarkable defense again this year. Blocking shots and poking the ball away was a common occurrence. What's become commonly uncommon is his goal scoring. It can't be over stated. 1 goal all weekend doesn’t cut it anymore. I get it, shut down defense is invaluable. It truly is. I can’t imagine how frustrated Ginger must have been after the game. But finishing your chances is just as important, especially in a very close playoff game.

 3 Griff – It’s amazing how scoring in the playoffs can almost completely erase what happened the day before........almost. I don’t think I’ll ever forget all the things he was unable to do in game 1 Saturday. It was pretty special

 2 Jared – Just as scoring in the playoffs can remedy a bad Saturday, not scoring in the playoffs can ruin the whole weekend. And hitting posts and crossbars just seemed to rub it in. Not only that, but he couldn’t even figure out how to duct tape the camera to the fence. One of his worst Sundays ever.

 1 Borges – I’ve chosen to forget about the first 2 games on Saturday. The Alliance had no shot at doing anything without him playing at a high level. JB shook off early morning jitters and took it to the next level. Turns out it didn't make a difference.

Nice work wpr!


Lol..the funny thing is I would argue this was my best offensive year I've had up there kinda sad.

U think playing more wing this year could help?

Maybe you need to hire scooby and shaggy csi to uncover the mystery of your missing offensive talent

Nick said...

Now I feel like I'm being mocked

How do you find something missing when it doesn't exist in the first place?

:)

JB said...

Good stuff. WPR forgot about that pass nick made 2 years ago. That still has some legs.......doesn't it?

Jared said...

Good stuff. wpr has always been critical of Ron's game, I wonder if it's something personal.

Word on the street is wpr already has it written up. He was just being courteous and not bumping down the newer post so everyone might have a chance to read

Brett said...

I think were starting in 2 weekends right?

John said...

I would like to if everyone is ready...puts a lot of pressure on me to finish up the last few weeks of the stats!

Mike D said...

Why my post get removed ?

Brett said...

I deleted it. I noticed you had a trash barrel next to it so I clicked on it to see if I could delete someone elses comment. Turns out I can. So much power could be a corrupting influence.
