Poti is the worst player on the team. He plays soft defense and has lack luster offensive skills. If the guy was making 750K he’d be ok but he makes 3.5 mill. Hopefully we can somehow unload his contract before the deadline

[...] is on my list, too. His careless pass at center ice led to a breakaway goal for the Oilers – one night after this terrible miscue. At least when Mike Green pulled that same nonsense a few weeks ago, he had the good sense to [...]

Ok yea, so you arent really doing it too much. But Ive seen way to much of it lately, so every little thing…And I didnt even see the Poti penalty…I had a hockey game that went longer than it was supposed to, so dint see much of the game. Im not mad at Poti because of that penalty, I just have never been a big fan of his. Havent been the biggest fan of Shultz either, but the bashing of him has really taken off in the past few weeks. He’s become a better player this year, and everywhere I look, its all “oh, look at Shultz, he sucks.” I didnt see much of that game, just bits and pieces, so…yea..

I don’t think I’m bashing Schultz per say. He’s been getting a lot of love this year for his solid plus minus and everything. I’m happy he’s been making a lot of progress this year. I just wanted to point out specifically that I didn’t think Tom Poti’s penalty was really something that should have angered Caps fans so much. Over aggressive plays in the defensive zone are going to happen. Not being able to handle the pressure of kicking the puck to your stick when the puck is laying 10 ft away from the goal is disconcerting for me. I think we’re all scarred by some of the losses early on in the season. Just trying to keep everything in perspective.

Remember when a some blonde Swedish centerman did the same thing against the pens? We forgave him, stuff like this happens. Lay off on the Shultz bashing.
