Practice notes March 3 - Lindholm maint. Hamonic skating on his own.

I don’t mind Rittich starting tbh. Give him a chance go get some confidence back at the dome. They’re going to need him to step up down the stretch and in the playoffs.

This from someone who thinks Ward has piss poor player deployment strategies.

I don’t really agree with some of the vitriol spit at Ward this season but if Rittich starts tomorrow, I’m done with him. Why on earth would you start the goalie who has been struggling for weeks for a guy who just posted a shutout and has better numbers?!?!

[Dragomir]

Talbot is the superior goalie and also more experienced, I say give him the net for the next 3-4 and see how it goes.

No way. Talbot made a number of key saves early in the game, particularly when FLA was on the PP. FLA also had several chances in the first half of the second period.

He was first star by far.

"If I say so"?

Please ...

I included a dive into shot quality suggesting the team plays better in front of a guy that to me looks to not be as comfortable.

It's not condescending to literally wonder how you could have jumped on a comment about what I see, and then said I usually drill people with stats while seemingly ignoring the stats that I provided in the next couple of paragraphs.

I honestly don't get how you could jump to the conclusion you did unless you rushed to respond without reading the rest.

I don't think I "jump all over" anyone. I respond with stats. I like to think I'm pretty civil 99% of the time. I think others would too.
