what people dont relealize is the fact that at the end of the day this is a business and you need to make the proper decisions. if you're a seles rep and are underperforming, you should be let go. same instance here.

Resop seems well-liked by his teammates one way or the other. Guess the comments today were pretty rough to prompt this. Where's Jack Bauer when you need him to call people out for shitting on a 19 year old kid. Adults on this board forget that Resop is only 19 years old and is more than likely being harder on himself than any wanna-be-hockey player on these boards can be! Calling a child "garbage" is absolutely uncalled for IMO. There are 18 and 19 year olds playing in the NHL. Are u allowed to criticize them? I think the money I pour out every Season for tickets, concessions allows me to say what I want to a certain level. Maybe its not fair for these young guys, but this is a business. That's my opinion.

Criticism is one thing, name calling is another, this isn't about being fair, it's about being mean. I agree that this is a business and these boys (for the most part) are assets, but we sometimes forget that these are just boys, regardless of where they play (Jr. vs. NHL). Resop is absolutely having tough go, but I will reiterate my opinion that he knows how badly he's been playing and I'm certain he is beating himself up more than anyone on here or twitter or FB.

Ignore the haters Resop. A lot of these posters would probably jump at the chance to be your lackey.

Calling a child "garbage" is absolutely uncalled for IMO. I agree that calling a child "garbage" is uncalled for. Calling the performance of a 19yr old goaltender in the Q garbage is not at all the same though. People just need to put some of this stuff into perspective. It's a fringe 19yr old goalie on a rebuilding team. He's never been advertised as a savior or developed to be a top flight #1 goalie....it just kind of worked out that way due to the situation the team is in where upgrading players like him make no sense. Sometimes fans of rebuilding teams seem some glimpses of a great team and forget that they're not there yet. Fans in Saint John or even Bathurst should be ripping their teams apart for giving up 11 goals because the expectations are higher. Fans in a Halifax or Moncton right now need to look at it in a different way because a lot of the reasons for giving up the goals won't still be there in 6 months time.

Fine line between being critical and being a bully sometimes though. I think you're allowed to spend your money and call a performance garbage. Not sure if the money you spend allows you to call a 19yr old player garbage though. That's more of a personal attack and not really necessary unless he's committed some awful act outside of the sport. Easy to cross that line when frustrated, but it's definitely there.

Very good point there. One thing to say a player is playing like crap or doesn't belong at this level, quite another to attack a player personally.

Actually he was probably taking issue with calling him garbage. He may be a bad goaltender, but he's still a person. No need to be so harsh. And I heard a rumour that Halifax was going to get Pickard from Bathurst... presumably to take over for Resop, but given how bad he played for Bathurst, I don't think it would be much of an upgrade... but at least he's younger, and has played well in the past. vlad is giving lessons on how to use the quote function properly

what people dont relealize is the fact that at the end of the day this is a business and you need to make the proper decisions. if you're a seles rep and are underperforming, you should be let go. same instance here. What if the sales rep is still learning the ropes and in the first few months of his employment that could stretch into a 30 year career? Why wouldn't you try working with the employee on some new tactics and sales methods before simply cutting him for someone new? It's not always as black and white as making a personnel change to inspire improvement. Sometimes improvement is properly dealing with the people you have and steering them down the right direction. Usually the last resort is letting someone go, not the first.

That's my opinion. those teenagers in the NHL are making millions.... Resop makes 50 bucks a week you're allowed to criticize whoever you want..... your also allowed to be criticized for the way you do it if it crosses a line

The conceivable reason for keeping Resop for the rest of the season is to make sure the Mooseheads don't pick too low in the draft next June... It's time to cut this guy... he is fucking garbage. When I originally read this, I took it to mean that Resop's goaltending skills were garbage....not the person himself. Context is everything. Some posters on these boards know that. Others just look for a chance to create pissing matches....no matter what.

If Gravel took a puck off the shaft of his stick and looked in discomfort, it's very possible he sprained his thumb. Happened to me many times in my goaltending career.
They really need to find a suitable backup. Nothing personal against Resop, but when you have a promising 16 year old that you don't want to overuse, you want to have a goaltending partner that can provide a consistent effort and result. I don't think it's good for Gravel to watch his partner goes through these kinds of struggles. Not to mention the impact it has on the rest of the team. If there's no trades out there (Pickard for example) I wouldn't be opposed to calling up Blais and giving him a game or two and see what he can do. I was pretty impressed with him in camp to be honest.
8 goals on 28 shots just isn't acceptable at this level and it isn't the first (or last i'm sure) time we've seen this from Resop. He is capable of having good games but his stinkers are way too frequent.

A 19 year old has the right to vote and to legally drink in licensed establishments, so I doubt that Resop would be considered a child.
