  1. This team isn't that small, down the middle.. ok, but the wingers and the defense have plenty of size. Right now, though, we're playing small, so it looks a lot worse than it is. The lines are going to need to be shaken up I think. Vanek needs to be moved away from Roy and Max. Grier and Drury need to be broken up. Pominville needs to sit. the guys nursing injuries need to sit as well. Ta,
  2. This team has nothing to play for right now, except points and point totals. There's nothing for them to focus their attention on... they can't win the division, they can't fall too far in the overall standings, they can't get hurt badly by playing like crap. Couple that with the games tightening up, the officials allowing more stuff going uncalled, and it's no wonder that they aren't sure which direction they should go. I'm no more happy about this than anyone else, but the truth is nothing is going to be proved until the playoffs start. Ta,
  3. I always thought that keeping Biron was a good idea just in case this situation arose. Miller hasn't yet proven he cna really handle the pressure of the big games yet. Did he not fold under the pressure during the Calder Cup playoffs last year? Biron, on the other hand, always seems to plays hi best when the games mean the most. We may have a 21st century version of Billy Smith and Chico Resch on our hands, at least for this season. I'm beginning to think that we would have been better off moving one of the guys who previously had motivational issues when they had the most value at this deadline... namely Kotalik. He and Noronen could have brought quite a return now that I think about it. Also, I think this team is missing both Hecht and Timmah! more than before. And, the last thing I want to see is that there is factioning between Briere and Drury, if that's what Danny's comments were alluding to. Ta,
