There is a role for a hardrock, throwback type defenceman like Carkner, and I like his game, but he is NOT your guy for 4-on-4 OT hockey. It's only five minutes - you play the snot out of your top four, and leave your third pair stapled to the bench. This was a rookie coaching error by Clouston, but he is smart enough to learn from his mistakes.Dennis Prousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01117649570711228161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538424.post-36150193656160836792009-10-23T12:34:26.957-04:002009-10-23T12:34:26.957-04:00Dennis: 17 days of being guaranteed of not seeing ...Dennis: 17 days of being guaranteed of not seeing Matt Carkner on the ice in a 4-on-4 overtime.

The networks pay so much money to obtain the rights that they too have to toss objectivity out the window, and try to squeeze as much juice from the event as humanly possible. They are corporate sponsors now as opposed to journalists. The only real journalism you can expect is from non-rights holders.<br /><br />I don't know if I am being a grump, but I am already sick of the hype, and it's only late October.Dennis Prousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01117649570711228161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538424.post-85251123634433365062009-10-22T18:08:18.471-04:002009-10-22T18:08:18.471-04:00Hey, when Brian Williams leans on the desk with bo...Hey, when Brian Williams leans on the desk with both elbows to talk about The Story of The Olympics, it's on.
