So don't be surprised or pissy when people say that.

Which is what I said in a nutshell. Some people simply aren't happy unless they are throwing players under the buss and sometimes it just gets annoying.

Liked Raymond's speed out there tonight. Didn't miss Granlund either.

Keep Raymond in the lineup. He forces the D to back up slightly in an already tight game. He makes a difference with his speed alone.

So OP's eating pubes, right?

Credit where it's due. Haven't liked Mason's game most of the year, but he was OK tonight.
