If you can replace Eminger and Hamrlik with Staal and Moore, the average age of the defense goes from 27.6 to 24.5.
No, Bish went to Tampa in exchange for Conacher. I'm with you on Phaneuf, it's just that if you go melting any of their players into the boards you end up with McLaren and Orr on the ice turning it into a slugfest - which is exactly what they want.
Oh right I forgot he went for Conacher, how's Conacher doing so far? I really think things even out in the long run and Phaneuf will get his just reward...
Honestly, I don't really know - I've barely watched the last couple of Sens games. Friday night I was in a busy pub and stinking drunk, yesterday I spent surrounded by bits of car and by the time the Sens game was on I was trying to get it all put back together in time to actually use the thing today. I think he's doing OK so far, but we're generally in a bit of a slump right now.
Doesn't look like he'll be back any time soon. Karlsson was skating today for the first time, but we won't see him until next season. Michalek should be back soon, maybe as soon as tomorrow, but I get the impression that MacLean's a bit pissed off with his attitude.
That loss stings. We were a broken stick away from sending it to over time. Stepan had a wide open net in the closing seconds.
He blows up lines and pairings all the time, and when one pairing is a disaster the entire game he keeps them together. Oof.
Perhaps if the Rangers played harder in the first two periods, that great third period effort would have mattered.
So upset over this one...defense was bad and we played so bad at times in our zone. Del zotto sucked. Must win vs toronto at msg
99% of the people here don't go on the HF boards, so I relay the info, why does this bother you? Internet plagiarism, I'm just spreading the word, I post over there too...LGR!!!
Big knock on him, no continuity with the lines, don't score in the 1st period, change the lines no cohesion...
