Sure am. I'm not pointing fingers or anything, just pointing out that Enroth had a shot to solidify himself as a bona fide NHL regular when Miller went down, and has regressed since his hot start. We can discuss why he seems to have regressed or hasn't won since November 2011, but the fact is that he hasn't won an NHL game in almost 15 months. I don't hate, dislike or wish ill will on Enroth at all. I want him to succeed, because a capable backup means Miller only has to play 60ish games in a normal year and we don't have to worry about the backup on Ryan's nights off. This year I wouldn't mind Enroth getting a couple more starts, because we suck with or without Miller in the net. Might as well let Enroth play a couple and see if he can work through it. Or do what many were suggesting and send him down on a conditioning assignment and let him get some actual gametime in the AHL. CoHo wasn't an innocent victim and he definitely has had his struggles in his own end. But to be fair - so has Pominville. And Vanek has made a few bonehead plays. And pretty much everyone on the blueline. I do see improvements here and there that show promise and that he is slowly "getting it" in terms of defenisve play and responsibility. And I agree with JJ on this - Cody is one of the few bright spots this year. His defensive zone play will improve. If Kovalchuk can turn into a responsible defender in New Jersey then Cody Hodgson can certainly do it here.

This I can agree with.

And now hasn't won since November 2011. He had a golden opportunity to seize a job when Miller was concussed in the Lucic hit. Didn't do it. He showed he could play until teams got the book on him. Now when he is in the net he looks shaky and looks like he has no confidence.

I don't think he knew what he was getting into. How bad and soft this roster is.

That's BS. He had regular work when Miller was hurt and he crapped the bed.

Good for Miller. No one else wants to sack up I guess.

Awesome. Way to finish it off with an exclamation point. Fire Darcy. Trade someone. Do something.

Makes sense.

Inexcusable for Gerbe to take that penalty.

He hasn't played well in a year. That's why he isn't getting regular starts.

Maybe stop shooting at Nabokov's glove hand. I'm just sayin'.

Agreed. Nabby has kept the Isles in the game with some big saves.

Based on 5 periods of hockey?

Hopefully guys are earning their ice time or lack thereof.

Molson threaded a beautiful pass through traffic to a guy on the far side. Nice pass, nice goal.

Wouldn't have made a bit of difference.

Ugh. Nice pass.

Nabokov has made some big saves.

Agreed. Vanek was robbed point blank twice in on one sequence. Pominville with a lazy play behind his net there.

I like Porter so far. Around the puck a lot, lotta jump in his legs.

Pominville needs to move his feet a little more at the line. They needed to take better advantage of the Isle without a stick.

You would think. Some affiliate fans never get it, though. No matter where it is.

Am I the only one thinking "karma's a bitch" when I hear the Sens and their owner and Murray are all crying about Cooke hurting Karlsson?

This.

Those are some encouraging numbers. Now let's see Grigs and a couple others get more time.
