Anyone else listen to Overtime on The Fan last night?
I didn’t see the game, but I heard Overtime. Steinberg pulled no punches, and was pretty dead-on accurate with his assessments, which included:
-frustrated that Peters refuses to keep Lindholm at centre (I think this would go a long way to solving some of the top 9 issues, if they just stuck with it)
-baffled that Peters removed Mangiapane from the second line when he was playing pretty well there
-questioned whether or not the core group (named about 5-6 specific players, including Gio) has the ability/strength to face down and prevail through adversity at all (and Pat said this was something he’d been thinking about for some time already)
It was just interesting because Pat’s usually even-keel, and, while he does give honest assessments, last night his comments seemed to go further than previous ones. It was refreshingly candid and somehow cathartic as well.
(The best part was that it was inspired by another classic Robert phone call...!)
