Let me preface this post by saying that this is intended as an exercise in thought. I don't necessarily believe what I am going to discuss, but I think that it would make something interesting to talk about. Unfortunately, I'm not a good stats guy, but if anyone has particular numbers they'd like added, they're very welcome to post them in comments, and I'll add them to this text. I don't often write, so I hope that you forgive any discrepancies in readability. Allow me to introduce a thought; a crazy thought. Erik d two-way defence man (not that he ever really was), the lack of consistent scoring is crippling. All these were happily ignored so long as they had Price. Karlsson masks many of Ottawa's problems as well Connor Brown Hoodie . He does everything short of scoring 50 goals, and being goalie (he almost does that, too, with all that shot blocking). What if we didn't have him? We would be atrocious. Erik Karlsson is our backbone, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, that ought to be a good thing. Problem is, so long as Karlsson is playing for us, he'll make us seem a fair bit better than we are. So long as we have this mask, management can get away with ignoring the inconsistency, much like Karlsson, they won't improve. Players are professional athletes, but they're also human Zdeno Chara Face Mask . They aren't machines, they're just as vulnerable to thoughts of weakness, desires, misplaced ambition, greed; human problems. As nice as it would be if they were unshakeable, flawless supermen of Nietzsche-like ideals, they aren't.Who's to say if there isn't a lurking Artem Zub T-Shirt, even subconscious, thought in the locker room that their own performance is less important than Karlsson's. This poisonous thought only needs to be present in a few players for disastrous consequences. Maybe Cameron suffers from such a line of thought. These ideas are admittedly purely speculative, but then, so is anything short of pure statistics.
