The goalie was bad — so?

The morning after the night before, when that night included a bad goalie performance is time for belabouring the obvious: the goalie was bad and should feel bad. There’s so many articles, so much o-pining on the topic, so much fussy, disappointed-dad finger-wagging editorials, that it’s enough to make me long for a good old “the ref is out to get us” carry on.

Everyone, from the angry fan for whom I have a lot of sympathy, to the professional take artist for whom I have none, keeps saying the same things. And I can listen to the fans, but a professional writer deciding to be a stern version of Captain Obvious is just too much.
