Cant believe Im saying this, but I would rather see Voros play today then Lisin!!!
Alright I'd like to say a few things.....
I read this blog everyday and I just don't realize why there isn't more Roszival bashing. Any fan who knows about the game and watches with a purpose can see how badly he struggles. He can not make break out passes, he doesn't win battles along the boards, he goes behind the net when his defensive partner is already establishing pressure and leaves a man open right in front. He's just a TERRIBLE decisionmaker. Why is Redden sitting when he's actually played decent when you have a guy like Roszival out there hurting your team. The amount of turnovers he creates is unexplainable. I just don't even know what to say anymore. And Kotalik was never given a shot. He plays about 5 minutes a game and somehow is in Tortorella's doghouse.
puckstop, you're not going to like my game recap.
