Player of the Game & The Good, The Bad, The Redden: Game #75 vs. Ottawa Senators

The Rules What is the poll for? You are voting for the player of the game - the one who put forth the most effort, who put the team on his shoulders, who contributed the most. Do not vote for the player who had the best statistical game just because he had the best statistical game. This does not mean you should not vote for the player of who had the best statistical game, but do not vote for him just because of that fact. Who can I vote for? You may vote for any player who dressed for the game and played at least one shift. If the player you want to vote for is not included in the poll, select "Other" and indicate in your post who you wish to vote for. In the case that I egregiously miss the player who everyone wants to vote for in the poll, I will count the votes in the thread. What is this "The Good, The Bad, The Redden" nonsense? It is my twist on the title of the famous spaghetti western movie, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Since multiple players may have outstanding games and you can only vote for one player in the poll, this affords you the opportunity to recognize multiple players, or a facet of the team, for their commendable play ("The Good"). This also affords you the opportunity to rip players, or a facet of the team, for their particularly substandard play ("The Bad"). Finally, just as "The Player of the Game" affords you the opportunity to recognize the best, this affords you the opportunity to commend the crème de la crème of the worst, who delivered an atrocious performance, or whose singular (or multiple) bad plays directly led to the the detriment of the team ("The Redden").

POTG: Hank

Staal, and some of the other defenseman were solid.

Everyone else was crap. **** the shootout guys.

Edit: The Redden was the most overhyped player in HF boards history, Erik Karlsson, ending the game.

****.. should get 2 in a game like that.

if EC isn't gonna be automatic in the shootout, what is he good for?

POTG: The Boston Bruins

The Good: Lundqvist

The Bad: Inept offense

to be expected when your top three shootout guys are ice cold sitting on the bench for a period

crappy the couldnt get 2 pts vs a crap team but atleast they got a pt..........hard to be real tough on them given they won 5 in a row............need to bounce back next game that's about it

Worst shootout evaar.

The good: Gaborik
The bad: the rest of gaborik's line
The good: Callahan and Dubinsky
The bad: their center
The good: prust
The bad: his linemates
The good: stepan
The bad: his linemates

The good: 2/3 of the d
The bad: the other third

The good: lundqvist

They were bound to lose a game...thankfully they got a point out of it. Good thing the Rangers seem to play better against the better teams, looking forward to Boston.

That was the worst shootout move I've seen, past Dennis Wideman of course. Putting Callahan over Anisimov and Stepan is completely foolish. I love him to death, but he's short on talent.

Just want pop in and say your broadcast crew is absolutely great. Good insights, no harcore bias (oh god pens :facepalm:), and are very level headed. Your camera angle is great too, for some reason it felt like i was actually at this game.

Love the camera.

Love Sam.

Hate Homer Joe.

Thanks.

Enjoy that Karlsson kid. Best player on the ice tonight IMO.

Also tough to ask EC/Wolski/Zucca to come into the shootout almost entirely cold.

Anyway, Henke is the POTG. No question.

Didnt watch the whole game but from what I saw:

POTG: Hank
The Good: Staal, Erik Karlsson, what a beast
The Bad: The overall bad effort, the icings
The Redden: In a shootout you're expected to at least hit the ****ing net... unacceptable

The Good: Prust

The Bad: The effort

The Redden: The coach not having the team prepared to play in an important game vs. a bottom feeder

Was at the Garden$ Blah game, can't win em all. Glad we got 1 and put us a game behind MTL though.

I said I'd be happy with 3 pts out of these 2 games this week, and that's what we got, so no reason to be upset. Ottawa played a solid road game. Would have opted for Anismov and Stepan in the shootout before Dubinsky and Callahan, but maybe that's just me.

Big test on Saturday in Boston. Potential 1st round matchup.

POTG: Hank
Good: Prust, Cally, Dubi
Bad: icings ... ughhh
Redden: going through motions for first 2 periods


Kudos to Gaborik for lifting after his lazy effort on Sens goal.

Torts is a moron for not having Stepan go in the shootout. Do u want the extra point of not???????????????

Congrats on Karlsson. What a player!

Oh, and Erik Karlsson is a beast.

POTG- Hank

The Good- We got 1 point

The Bad- Most of the team played a crappy game. Way too many icings :shakehead.

The Redden- All 3 of our shootout specialists dont score.
