A plaudit is a “demonstration of a round of applause” – which I assumed noting Knuble’s slump/funk “ending” amounted to, particularly considering the previous post focusing solely on his recent woes.

And I guess while technically this one goal may “end” the slump/funk – in my mind the jury is still out as to whether he’s going to perform or continue to just fill roster space.

Wow, you guys are mean.

@28ISGREAT, I don’t know what a plaudit is, but breaking out of a slump is noteworthy. We noted it. What am I missing?

“Mike Knuble finished the funk” …. HA!

I laugh because this must be a joke…

No plaudits for doing what’s expected of you – and definitely no plaudits when you’ve only done it twice in 15 games.

And what about the two misses he had in the 1st? His later goal barely even makes up for that.

Kudos for finally putting a somewhat meaningful single-game Corsi comparisson. Comparing line-mates can be useful (Alzner -9 and Carlson -5) as they’ll be on the ice for mostly similar events.

Otherwise, STOP POSTING THESE SINGLE-GAME CORSI NUMBERS. They’re not meaningful and the sample size (a single game!) is far too small for them to be trusted as accurate or indicative of play.

“Written by Peter Hassett in Baltimore. Additional reporting by Neil Greenberg in Florida. Ian Oland added pictures from Hanover. Rachel Cohen illustrated from Connecticut. Fedor Fedin should be asleep in Moscow.” By our powers combined…. we become Carmen Sandiego!

Anywho, what a CRAZY game with all the fighting and the goal-scoring-by-people-who-almost-never-score-goals and the Knuble-finally-scoring and whatnot. Yay for 5 wins in a row!
