If he works out better than Rossi KA will look like a genius.

He will be an albatross in a few years when all the young guys take over this team. But for now holds the cap floor.

Impressive effort tonight.

Dyllllaaannnnn!!!!

When Tuch and Mittlestadt come back it will get more interesting later in the year.

Woooooooowww!!!!

You simply can’t keep taking penalties. Just dumb. Giving this game away.

Undisciplined. Can’t give Edmonton free power plays.

Dumb by Miller.

Absolute trash call. Terrible. Free goal.

Bjork!

Can’t complain holding Edmonton to zero goals that period. Our guys need to hit the net on their shots.

The effort on defending the power play was awesome.

And we arrived at the point when Tage Thompson is the most exciting player to watch….

Agreed. But at least now the stables are getting full again.

I could see the potential of us looking more like the 05-06 team… lots of speed and attack through 3 lines instead of depending on one or two superstars.

Tuch? Plus we could be seeing a top 5 player from a loaded draft coming up.

This reminds me of the Amerks season when Roy, Miller, Pommers, Vanek, and the gang played. I was working in Rochester at the time and what a team that was.

They are not going to rush anyone back this year. No need to.

I think realistically we can hope for a 20 to 25 goal scorer. If we could get that it would be a very good thing.

Do you remember the constant sulking? Maybe in the first year or two he dreamed we’d be good soon. But overall we all saw the sulking, the bad post game interviews, etc.

Nothing really surprising. We all knew for years if we didn’t get to the playoffs sooner, rather than later, Jack was going to request a trade. We were talking about it 3 years ago. Jack was never really happy playing for this organization and you can’t blame him. The mismanagement of this team was mindboggling on every level. He wasn’t going to waste his prime years here. Can you imagine being Jack on this team this year? Yikes. He’d be about 27-28 before we are competitive again IF we hit on picks and development. It’s a no brainer if I’m Jack.

Tage Thompson continues to look good at center. I could see him leading an effective 3rd line one day when we get real centers.

Well… time to get used to yet another coaches post game explanations of long and extended losing streaks.

It’s getting back to the point of being unwatchable yet another year. 5 L’s in a row with two high powered teams next. The Fight for Wright is back on.
