Huh?

from Patrick Comia of Too Many Men on the Site,

In today’s NHL, most teams are built on that philosophy: team.

Throughout the play last night, there were three other Detroit Red Wings players on the ice with Nyqvist. As the play developed, the players moved along with the puck, trying to get into the best, possible position to help. And there were a times where Nyqvist could have passed to an open man.

However, he elected not to. In the end, Nyquist managed to allude the Senators defense and shoot past Anderson.

What if that went wrong? What if the defense managed to take the puck off his stick? What if, after all that skating around, the puck was blocked by Anderson? Those are questions that will be left as those: questions. However, if Nyquist did not score that goal after all that developed, would he be thought of as a selfish player who should have given up the puck to his teammates for an opportunity?

a bit more...

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
