Yesterday we got into a discussion in the forum titled "Milbury Shopping" and I got all over Niminna saying he sucks. I was shocked to see a few of you ( No names... Webb, Jekly, The Roo ) actually defending this clown so I watched the entire game waiting for your boy to do something positive..maybe block a shot....

As you will see in the forum Oct 22 2005, 11:48 PM In: ISLES/HABS 10-22-05
it was pretty much a shift by shift Niminna breakdown. It came to the point that I even thought I sounded like I was pushing the truth...no one could be that bad. At one point I asked Jimmy if it was an acurate account.

I didnt write down his 2 penalties..I think I only wrote one but from what I saw last night...

0 Block Shots
1 good play
2 dumb Penalties
9 Mindless plays
and a partridge in a pair tree!

Now tell me you want to keep him? Tell me hes not the weakest defenseman we have.Who do you trust less?

NIMINNA MUST GO ..Actually Im changing his name to NIMAMUSTGO !

Caesar, I don't think I ever defended Niinimaa, all I said was that blocking a shot is extremely hard. I see no reason for Janne to still be here, he didn't want to come here at first, and who knows if he is happy now.

Let's not mis-quote here.

Here is exactly what I wrote
Quote:
 
Banana Boy, please tell me you haven't played hockey. Blocking a shot isn't exactly "easy" and "thoughtless" The Lightning won the last Stanley Cup in large part to their ability at blocking shots and not having their goalie be ambushed by shot after shot. If it was so easy, every team would do it as well as the Lightning did.


And, as an aside, what Webby wrote is entirely true. Niinimaa was the best and most consistent defenseman last year down the stretch and into the playoffs.

Caesar, it's time to get a life.

If you already have a prejudice view on a player, nothing that player does will be seen fairly in your eyes. You just wasting all of our time with posts over and over about Niinimaa.

I think they COULD have put Garth in net and give the boy a rest!

When Garth is on... He's AWESOME!

But this wasn't Rick's fault.

Oh well....

Atlanta is falling apart! They won last night, but we should be able to beat them easily.

I just hope they don't come headhunting for us ... bushleague style!! :fear:
Yashin, you ARE the weakest link. Goodbye.

Caesar

His name is Janne Niinimaa.

Caesar,
Everyone on this team has struggled including Lukowich who we all have seemed to become enamoured with this year because of his leadership and dedication. You won't see too many Lukowich complainst on here when he fails to clear the zone or gets caught on a change.
I feel like I'm constantly defending Niinimaa in the same manner that IQ sometimes defends Kvasha.
Maybe "defend" is the wrong verb to use. I think it's ok to get frustrated with certain players
and to vent about their lack of effort or poor effort
but to say they "suck" and then complain because not enough people share your opinion?

Come on Caesar. The guy's a millionaire, he didn't achieve that because he "sucks",
he competes and he's adjusting to the new rules like everyone else.

I agree that he has had his share of turnovers but when his feet stop moving and the intensity isn't there, that's when you give up hope.
