Dan Gross Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 (Though I understand - and agree with - your concerns about Miller stopping long shots. I cringe every time someone takes a shot from the point on him... ) 697755[/snapback] But isn't that the nature of the beast with the style of defensive play we bring to the table? Isn't the problem due to the fact that shots from the point never go straight in, and that Miller is usually pretty heavily screened, both by opposing players and his own players trying to block the shots? (I certainly noticed that in Game 2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 And your assertion is because of that, he sucks. One could also assert that he's so good, no one can score an honest goal on him, and they have to score oddball goals. (Though I understand - and agree with - your concerns about Miller stopping long shots. I cringe every time someone takes a shot from the point on him... ) 697755[/snapback] LOL Find the post where I said he SUCKS. I've said he's over-rated but never that he SUCKS. HE's a good goalie. I just don't think he's GREAT. Maybe he'll become great over time, maybe not. But for now, he's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody know if this was a regular pairing in Rachacha. If so, I understand Janik over Paetsch(sp)If not, why not play that Paetch dude. First off, i see NO amerks games, and I do not remeber the one game this dude played. However, I read he was the third leading scorer on the amerks, so maybe strategy coulda been best D is an aggresive O? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, in Lindy we trust, but it didn't seem like they trusted Janik at all in Game 2. Why is he getting another shot, especially when it sounds as though Paetsch plays more like Tallinder?

RuntheDamnBall Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Other thing is, Janik is a PIM leader with the Amerks. Last thing we need is less discipline and a bad penalty. Right now we get all of those we need from Mr. Liability aka Rory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I question the logic of playing Janik also. 698615[/snapback] Except that it was either him or me at this point... Come on, man...they're down their three top defenders. Finding warm bodies to fill the roster is becoming challenging... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
