I think I agree more with Ari than I do with Rich here.  Nash looked out of position to me at certain points.  I don't think he's an awful player in the least, but I do think he needs some work in some areas.

I think it's inappropriate for two reasons:
1) Standards of behavior are different for players and fans.[/quote]

Even if were to accept this (which ... not really; they might be easier to discipline but that has nothing to do with whether they should be subject to more discipline), that doesn't mean that the players have to be as pure as Caesar's wife.[/quote]

Not that pure but they should exhibit good sportmanship before, during, and after the game.

That's what is expected.  If they do anything less, well...they've just sunk to the level of Terrell Owens...or many NBA players.  Ugh!

Good point.  Anyone think we should send Arthur in to the visiting locker room to read his "sportsmanship" announcement that he's forced to read to the fans?  The fans aren't babies, just as the players aren't, and I'm upset that we're treated as such.

Fire Andy.

Nash has been out of position occasionally, and caught flat-footed as guys go by him.  But he's made some very good plays when he gets positioned right, and handles the puck very, very well for a large defenseman.  A comparison to Pokulok isn't all that off, though I'm not sure he's at that level yet.

His skating reminds me the most of Pokulok, it looks effortless in the way that always annoyed me because it never seemed like Pokulok was even trying when he skated around.

[quote krose][quote nr53]I thought it was a slight moral victory, second only to the guy who got tossed flipping us all off as he went into the locker room.[/quote]
Sorry, I must have missed this all the way out in Dryden... I mean, section G.  What happened?

Looking it up, it must have been Mike Hartwick (#10), but he definitely had a going away present for the fans after he was escorted off the ice after he and Bitz got a bit annoyed at eachother.
