I understand where you're coming from. I watched the match from the day before. My point is even if he had a minor injury from the day before, no way, Goodale sends him out..so I throw out injury. I would attribute it to a bad weight cut or just a bad match..it happens.It's not like us assuming he was injured is some left field assumption. We all watched the match less than 24 hrs before where Dean hobbled on one leg and required injury time. That doesn't just magically heal. Especially if he had to cut weight. And frankly, it showed. Kid gassed hard in period two.
Levi Haines and Beau Bartlett squeaked out tight ones, Friday..both didn't look their best. Both matches could have gone either way. Thankfully they won and no one will remember the close wins. But if one or both lost, then the excuse making comes out. Sometimes guys just aren't at their best for a variety of reasons and sometimes, you have to give the opponent credit
