inkman Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 There is a place in this league for Clarke. He'll pot 15-20 a year for somebody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be even more draining being one of those 8 other Devil forwards while Kovalchuk is camped out at the red line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what to make of this comment. There are plenty of times when I wish I would see a Sabres forward ready to receive a breakout pass. In fact, there are way too many times when they are playing so deep that they can't even get back to the point in time to get the puck out.

OR, they all vacate the zone and leave a defenseman all by his lonesome behind the net with no one to pass to. Boy, for an NHL team they sure have issues with fundamentals.

Boy, for an NHL team they sure have issues with fundamentals. Also, people are talking about Myers and his decision making. I don't think he looks good at all. When he is skating it out in that situation, I think he looks really indecisive and tentative. Last year he would blast through everyone the entire length of the ice. I hope it's not Lindy making him think too much. oops, this tangent should be in the other thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defensively, he's not doing much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two or less Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 So is he lost without Talinder helping him out? Or is it sophomore funk he has gotten into? IMO, it's neither. Tallinder was a better partner for him because Morrisson can't move the puck up the ice, and Hank was good at it. But, Myers is playing as a #1 d-pairing right now, facing much better players as he did last year, when Lydman was our #1 d-pairing. Myers can't adjust and his partner should never play in that role.

I want to question his motivation a bit. He was playing to prove himself last year. Maybe he doesn't have that same mentality at this point. Luckily it's very early and he has plenty of time to fix whatever his issue is right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He added about 15 pounds of muscle between last year and this year. I don't think he would have managed that with a lack of motivation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Mac 4, Crosby 0 until last night too. :lol: Mac can score....but 2 of those 4 goals were just about pillowed and gift-wrapped as they come.. He could skate another 30 games and not get those looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Mac was the leading scorer on this team last year until the trade deadline. Just saying. While we're on this line of thinking, who woulda thunk Roy would lead the league in goals scored either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he would have managed that with a lack of motivation. The extra weight while making him more imposing, has made his footwork less lithe than last year. It looks like he's adjusting to his new body IMO. Give him three weeks, the skating will follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
