Being outcoached and outworked... newsflash this isn't the tired islanders you're playing..
Great win boys, now just do the same thing (well preferably without having to make a 3 goal comeback) at CEC and we can put this rivalry to bed.
So not cool with Despres going.. he has proven that he will be a top 4, trade a prospect instead.
so tell me in what universe should despres be playing on the third pair and eaton on the second
Bylsma's motto is talentless grinders uber alles
@dvo @plaid Glass hahaha you gotta be kidding me, hasn't won a fight yet and is a black hole offensively even for a 4th liner. And how is that 4th "shutdown" line working anyways? Keep wearing the yinzer glasses, maybe Neal will get 50 pp goals this year and Kennedy will morph into a power forward.
Here's a fun exercise.. name one improvement shero made to the roster over the summer.. Staal move doesn't count since he had to make it. Youd think he'd have a plan B if Tangradi didn't turn out to be Kevin Stevens reincarnate.
@dvo @plaid @akus well in that case last night he should have just perched himself in the slot
@akus You gotta admit Orpik's physical game is diminishing, that could be excusable but now he is turning pucks over. They are also 5-5 in their last ten, and none of those wins were really convincing.
Part of me wants them to get embarrassed in montreal. Knowing them though they'll get lucky somehow and win and we'll all go back to forgetting about the major holes in this roster and flaws in the teams system.
@CammieBuckeye Every other team had to deal with the lockout. No more excuses.
Has the team learned anything from lasts years playoffs, I wonder.
@HYJYNX @plaid tk, nisk and orpik could go honestly for more forward depth but not much out there on D to replace those two them
So who's gone by the deadline?
Damn straight on Steiggys jinx-curses.. "This player hasn't scored in 10 years.... "
