re nhl team leaders in in article mar ramsey cs laurentian ca maynard ramsey cs laurentian ca roger maynard writes the jets use the breakaway pass scheme to create a scoring sensation in order to generate interest if teams score as many or more goals against winnipeg when selanne is on the ice as winnipeg scores when he is on the ice then i can t see how his contribution can be described as impressive implicitly you are assuming that goals scored against winnipeg with selanne on the ice can be blamed on him roger he is a forward winnipeg has a lousy defensive record anyway let s put it another way john cullen s is terrible what s your excuse for him that his powerplay points don t count neither do selanne s the object of the game is not to feed selanne it is to win and feeding selanne does not contribute in any meaningful way to winning knowledgeable hockey observers the world over would agree that feeding selanne so he can score does contribute in a meaningful way to winning pat burns wouldn t have a goal suck like this on his team you re worried about teemu when you have glenn anderson on your team we don t know what selanne does best we do know what jet s management wants and again the object of the exercise is not to allow selanne to do what he does best it is to win hockey games what he does best is score so i refer you to my comment above as it is now selanne is a grandstanding goal suck did you see the way he parades around with his arms outstretched after scoring a goal you would think the messiah had returned nope didn t see it i was too busy watching foligno jump up and down after his goal
