  1. I haven't been able to keep up with the overall Zad's scenario, can someone let me know exactly why Nolan won't play him?

    I've only seen him play a couple of times but he mostly impressed me as a little slow and struggling to consistently get into position in battles behind the net and in corners. He didn't look ready like Risto does.

  2. We've seen the same product for 3 years running. The pieces have changed, but the results look nearly identical. That's not effort, that's what a severe talent deficiency looks like.

    Agreed. I saw plenty of try-hard during Rolston's run. They lost big to Chicago and Anaheim, two cup favorites, no shocker. Yeah, ok, it was uglier than expected, but what is most shocking is Nolan going nuclear with his comments after game 3 of 82. Good luck to Gionta. He looks weak on the ice, but I think he's gonna earn his cash dealing with the locker room & TN this year.

  3. Let's go Columbus! Hoping Johansen plays, otherwise it's their AHL squad.

    From CBJ site (weds lines)

    Hartnell-Anisimov-Dano

    Foligno-Johansen-Atkinson

    Calvert-Letestu-Wennberg

    Skille-Chaput-Boll/Tropp

     

    Johnson-Savard

    Erixon-Wisniewski

    Tyutin-Prout

     

    Bobrovsky

     

    Good to see my man Tropp'r hanging on. Break-out year coming, just needs the ice time. :P

  4. 1 goal in two games is shaky??

     

    We were also playing the Caps AHL team so don't get too giddy, but Buffalo looked awesome tonight. I could get used to that.

    True on Enroth stats wise but he didn't look great to me. He got a couple of breaks. Razor was on him in the telecast. That nice save he had w/ the guy all alone in front (in the 2nd?) it looked like he even stumbled before he made it. Hydration issues?

     

    Noticed I didn't notice 28 as well. Hopefully it is maturity. Would be nice to see some offensive created by him tho....I know, he's not a 25 goal scorer, but maybe 15? Flashback to Foligno's sophomore slump that hopefully he's finally done with.

     

    Can't wait for the season to start.

  5. Whoa. The guy has played 1 NHL preseason game at a level higher than that of "corpse." He hasn't proven, or earned, anything, especially as regards being a good 2-way player.

     

    And Griggy didn't get sent back to juniors for being physically immature. He got sent back because he was completely useless in an NHL game.

     

    Everyone's got to earn it. If he does -- great. But he hasn't come close to doing so yet.

    It's good enough for me. Receiving that pass from Hodgson and what appeared to be effortlessly burying it required talent very few have. And we desperately need scoring. He got the message. Put him on the roster. The minute he stops working hard, send to ROC.

  6. I think you are under estimating Pysyk. Like Shrader said, the league is different now but he will be a solid 3/4 and once there is some offensive talent upfront, his assist numbers will sky rocket. He has the ability to be one of the finest passing defenseman in the league.

     

    That's how I see it too. Love his breakout passes. Maybe since goals are so often grind-it-out vs run-n-gun his assist #s won't be that good, but here's hoping.

     

    Good call on speed disparity Freeman. I was thinking more passing, not physical, solid all-around, smart.
