    Saw the Avs game the other day and they were braggin' on wow this is a warrior, he got hit in the face with the puck and came back and scored in the 3rd period...I liked Mitch here, much better than Asham who loses every fight, is slow and can't skate...Mitch has 2 goals also, throws the body, wins faceoffs, and reliable defensively...

    I would have liked it too, next move will be Dominic Moore, who is better, the only problem is whether or not he wants to play, because his wife just passed, I hear he wants a return to the rangers...

    No sustained offense, force the play, dictate the pace to the other team...another thing is this god damn collapsing defense, giving up free point shots and putting 5 guys down low, all well and good except some of these shots get thru...

    I actually think he made some fair points. I just think that he was off on my questioning of Emminger. In addition, he wants to say that all but two players are delivering. I'm fine with that opinion, but I want to know in his mind, is the head coach delivering?

    In addition, I am sick of the "They didn't have training camp" excuse. Newsflash: NO ONE HAD TRAINING CAMP!

    I didnt say all but two are delivering. As amatter of fact, I said only two were contributing. I said at the time, only Gabs and Nash were not disappointing.

    As far as the coach, I cant knock him after 5 games.

    As far as training camp goes, just because a lack of camp doesnt seem to be affecting one team doesnt mean it cant affect another. That was my point

    Then I don't want to hear you once complain about the power play. There are many teams with far inferior talent in this league able to develop an effective power play. That falls clearly on the coaches.

    good day everyone, it's fair to say this season is going
    to be unpredictable for at least the first 15 games, if at all.
    i think the boys are going to be just fine sooner rather than later.
    many kinks to to still work out but i'm hopeful.

    Watching Rupp and Asham get KO'd makes me wonder why they didn't keep Colton Orr? What good are your tough guys if they lose every fight?

    I would go as far as saying that Staal had his best game as a Ranger against the Leafs.

    Staal/MDZ is a much better fit than Staal/Strals
