Sounds like an excuse that a rapids fan would say at the every end of FebruaryNevertoomuchhockey wrote:Karl is it true Randolph skates his team every day during the holidays?

Or maybe the teams that lose to East this month like to repeat this rumor... Or maybe the Hounds players/parents exaggerate their holiday ice time to intimidate their opponents?

Wonder if rockcrusher made excuses for the Russians back in 1980 right after they lost.... LOLrockcrusher wrote:Don't have to worry about DM in the winners bracket.

Perhaps, but the winning team always deserves credit for winning, not excuses for why the other team lost. Every single position and player on the ice is equally as important as the rest.....TheInsider wrote:Bad bad loss for DMJSR wrote:Wonder if rockcrusher made excuses for the Russians back in 1980 right after they lost....

I didn't see the game, but I have seen games before where the losing team definitely lost the game and the winning team doesn't deserve much praise for winning.JSR wrote:Perhaps, but the winning team always deserves credit for winning, not excuses for why the other team lost.

Why??? Are you saying the goalie is not an equally viable part of the TEAM??Traxler wrote:I didn't see the game, but I have seen games before where the losing team definitely lost the game and the winning team doesn't deserve much praise for winning.JSR wrote:Perhaps, but the winning team always deserves credit for winning, not excuses for why the other team lost.

Not at all. I was a goalie when I played. However, I am saying that there are games where the winning team doesn't deserve much praise for winning the game.JSR wrote:Why???

Maybe if/when the refs are an absolute atrocity, and those do happen but I think they are rare. Other than that I can't think of any reasons because regardless of what the "shots" were or even puck possession there are still six players on the ice, all of which are trying their very best and the winning team deserves the kudos no matter what (unless outside intereference literally decides the game, and again that is incredibly rare). So unless the refs decided this Appleton game, which I do not think was the case, they deserve kudos without excuses.Traxler wrote:Not at all. I was a goalie when I played.

How do you get all of this out of what I say? I never made any comment about the refs.JSR wrote:Maybe if/when the refs are an absolute atrocity, and those do happen but I think they are rare.

Nothing you just said is reason to not give the other team credit for their victory. If I am coaching and if I feel our team is the better team and played the better stuff I tell them that but I also tell them the other team deserves credit for figuring out a way to win and that next time we need to figure out a way to win. When my team plays poorly and wins I tell them that too but I also give them credit for figuring out how ito grind out a win as that is also the sign of a good team.Traxler wrote:How do you get all of this out of what I say?

I've played many games where my team has won the game while playing terribly. In those instances, I was not proud of the win. I've also played games where I knew that my team should have "easily won" but just kept shooting ourselves in the foot and lost the game without the other team doing much of anything to win.
So again, there is never an instance where the winning team doesn't deserve their proper credit and kudos
