You cannot make a non-biased assessment of any Individual Player unless and until you have 100% System knowledge and acumen along with a substantial sample size of a particular Coaching Teams productivity or lack thereof as a baseline to work off of. All ex-NHL Players are taught what you and I are taught about Hockey that theres an Offense and a Defense within the game…things are broken down into smaller pieces by the Coaches so Players do not get overwhelmed by the bigger picture as they are trying to execute their duties….same dynamic as a General not telling his Footsoldiers the whole Battle Plan — there is simply no need……once the System has been split in half and broken into managable parts called Offense and Defense then Individuals can be encouraged to become "Specialists" within the group without feeling like they are missing out on anything by being Pigeon-holed within the worlds most Free-Spirited offensively designed and quicksilver fluid Sport…….as a result we ALL become 1-dimensional thinkers within the game itself….we choose one way or the other to see the game….Pros are 100% brainwashed or they would never make the NHL….if you do not understand your role within your Teams System in the NHL 100% you will not make it…this is why all we ever hear about from ex-NHLers is "defense" –"defense"….lol lol lol ….or "Offense" –"Offense"….you see how it works ….once a Coach does this to a young Players mind everything becomes East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet…..
Coles Notes version…. If you are not Managing the System and every player within it you have zero evidence upon which to make any type of legitimate fact based performance based Analysis or Judgement of any given Individual, that information is solely in the Possesson of the Coaches who will not share it for obvious reasons… therefore we have to "trust" that Knoblauch gives Players leashes long enough for them to do their System dictated duties( Only Knobber knows each Players Duties– we all just phuckin think we know especially the many many clueless ex-NHLers Podcasting online these days lol lol lol )…some players will have long leashes and will and up crapping in places others cannot so they may get noticed more…but that doesnt mean they are crapping MORE than the other dogs just because they have longer leashes….lol lol lol …its just the optics that occur when you do not have the Masterplan to follow to keep it all making sense. Some of us expect to see dogs crapping around the Neighborhood with regularity but if we suddenly only see 1 dog who seems to be sh!$$ing under our kitchen window every morning it starts to pi$$ us all off and our Toast just doesnt taste the same anymore ….but we dont realise that its just the optics its not the poor dogs fault and toast is just toast……hes just doing what dogs do man….
