**OFFICIAL** GDT 12/29 - Kings @ Coyotes

Saying that WE messed up is not making your teammate a scapegoat.

Saying HE messed up is.

He shouldered the blame on the team, not one player. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill.

As Reaper said, Frolov placed the fault on the team. It just so happened that it followed his description of Visnovsky coming to the bench. I think he can be forgiven for making it seem like the two things were linked. He's Russian with only basic English skills, afterall.

Yeha...but the fact that he mentioned Lubo at all is the issue...he didn't just say We screwed up...he mentioned Lubo's name alone.

But again...I don't think it was out of any malice...he was just stating the facts...and I don't think either guy would hold a grudge....

Games like this -- they happen. There are games every year in any kind of NHL where you're going to have to throw caution to the wind and go out and outscore the other team and win games like these. At least they fought hard and got a point out of it.

Hey Quattro how is that for not focusing on the positive after a loss?

LOL

Almost as shocked as I was after identifying you as the voice of reason!

ROFL - hey, you're the King of the Pessimists on this board, you'll always get first props. The rest of these guys are just wannabes
