looking back objectively and leaving the joy of winning the trophy out of it, it was still the wrong decision. obviously it paid off and Willy almost single-handedly won us the trophy with those penalty saves after doing virtually nothing all match (that last part isn't a knock), and fair play to him, that was great skill. but the best predictor for future behavior is past behavior and Willy's past behavior had shown him to be inconsistent and, frankly, not that great (but decent).
i will admit to my rash assumptions that if it went to pens Willy couldn't save enough for us to win and that humble pie tastes just fine today.
cue the insults. i dont mind.
I'm not really a City fan. I'm just here for attention.
