Uh, you don't remember at least 7 or 8 absolutely shit goals that Luongo gave up in October? How about that floater from the blue line in Chicago? Can you blame the 5 guys who got minuses on that shift?

You can't, but players also end up on the ice for crappy goals for. Usually, that part of +/- works itself out. Things like EN goals don't for a bad team like FLA. Still, it seems be be one of the most misused and misunderstood stats in hockey.

I agree 20 games is not a good length of time to make a judgement. But over the course of a year IMO it does show a trend by certain players. We frequently admire a player with a good +/- then by the same token we should be realistic with a player that has a poor +/- Booth was a -31 last season the worse on the Florida roster.

MG is f***ing brilliant! We now have a $4 mill player playing on our 3rd line. So, why'd we trade Samuelsson again? :P

Cause Booth makes roughly the same amount as Sturm and Samuelsson combined plus Booths contract is for 4 more years where Sturm and Samuelsson's contract end this year. Don't you see the positives?

Actually, MG noted a lack of things to complain about in November and did something to provide some fuel. He cares about ALL the fans because you are all Canucks.

It really is hard to find many positives with Booths game. I don't want to go on about it too much but there doesn't appear to be an end to his struggles. Gotta think that if he doesn't come around soon and start contributing he'll be on the bus.
Steve Bernier must have taught him a few things last season cause they play almost the same nothing game.

Don't worry, there's a plan and Boothy is sticking to it.

Pastor Bernier must give great sermons!

WTF? Are the Jesus freaks taking over my hockey team now?
Maybe he should get out of the chappie and back into the damn weight room cause god isn't helping him on the ice with very much.

Can you bring the other "Holy Grail" into a chapel? Isn't that like worshipping a false idol?

Maybe it can get passed around like a collection plate.

I wonder how the media and locker room would view Booth's enthusiastic piety if he were a Jew or *gasp* a Muslim.

Maybe what the team needs is a few devout muslims. Players who are willing to kill or die in the name of victory. We could put them on IVs during Ramadan and convince them that Brad Marchand supports Israel financially.
