I don't see what the hate is on him. He played excellent after we got him from Ottawa. He went out and played in every situation even getting top minutes with Seabs at the end. To judge him based on that 1 turnover is a joke. Is he worth more than 2.5 mil, no, but shouldn't be ripped because he was a big reason we got into the playoffs.
If players are judged on turnovers, than I bet after this season Hawks fans are just dieing to get rid of Duncan Keith.
FWIW, turnovers happen all of the time in hockey... so this one resulted in a series winning goal in OT, but getting on a guy making turnovers pretty much means that some fans are going to be perpetually bitter at everyone.
Otoh, imho, these people are from the same crowd as those that don't get why players come off the ice after about a minute or 90 seconds.
Of course, they are all experts too. :talktohand:
Frankly it is kind of embarassing.

Edit - I get the sense that some people -despite their avs - can't reconcile that a turnover in hockey isn't the same thing as a fumble in (wth -I'll say it in Australian -for urinary purposes)... gridiron...
Want evidence? Get out a set of the 4 games the Hawks won against Philly in 2010... happened all of the time - in fact I seen Campbell make quite a few, Sopel having the puck bounce around on his skates in the crease of all places, like a pinball... etc...
passes picked off, etc - it's the way hockey is played, it is a fast game, and one that is highly instinctual - nothing is ever perfect on the ice -and frankly speaking..
Feces Happens... that's life on a rink at any level. No idea where some of these odd ideas about "perfection" come from? Too much Wii maybe, where every pass is one the tape??? Rofl... ok...
