I mean, you can’t really make an article about this and NOT include the elbow to the head of Krug (no call), the shoulder to the chin of Johansonn (no call), the flop by Tarasenko in game 4 (called).

All Zlatan and no Zlatan makes Zlatan a zlatan Zlatan.

I agree with you in principle and practice what you preach, but in this day and age, things are so polarized that it won’t end.

If you read the counter notice to Twitter, their strategy is clearly to portray themselves as the party that is working in good faith to negotiate a resolution, which makes miel the unreasonable one. The “anxious to settle” language is part of that strategy, and makes sense in that context.

Jack was maintianing that enthusiasm way back in 2006-07 in the dire Dave Lewis days. He was the first guy to publicly give a damn about the team as they improved from that point on. I know he’s not to everyone’s taste, but I’ve always appreciated him for that.
