Bah! Always I forget that one! Hopefully he'll be over 35.

How come it seems like Grossmann and Meszaros start on D for every offensive zone draw?

how in god's name does nathan gerbe win a one-on-one battle behind the net with grossmann?

Giving Mezzy the easier matchups. They did it last year for him too (when he was healthy). He's more effective as an offensive d-man than someone starting in his own zone going against offensively better opponents.

O wow. Rinaldo did something good. Anyone got the measurable on this one?

I love Zac Rinaldo. Streit gets caught on the rush, Rinaldo comes back and plays defense on the back check. After the Carolina rush, he draws a penalty in the corner. Give this man more minutes.

Low center of gravity.

or, the always dangerous the sneaky-sneaky.

It's pretty sad that you're begging for a point when the opposition has a whopping two goals.

yup

there are just way too many players gliding/standing still to have any success out there. add to that poor decisions with puck and you get this mess we are all watching right now. I know its only game 3, but this just looks like a team that has tuned the coaching staff out.

I'll give you a measurable.

I measure that you female doging about measurables is measurably annoying.

Gotta have one on the powerplay here guys

wouldn't it be nice if everyone on this club played with the heart and passion of Rinaldo?

Send in Luke Schenn!

Christ, they aren't happy unless they are trying homerun passes. have the damn forwards swing back to break out as a damn unit.

Fair point. I'm a math guy and I like stats in all sports. They offer a great new way to look at sports.

I don't like, however, people that watch sports with only an excel spreadsheet in their heads.

Lots of things that Rinaldo does aren't really tracked well.

3 goals in 3 games so far....

Consistency is key

Haven't exactly played world beating teams either. 0 and (frank)ing 3.

Hot seat getting hotter, Pete.

I believe in intangibles. I'm not saying that a player like Zac Rinaldo has no value.

I am saying, however, that intangibles do not outweigh production, when you've scored three goals in three games and the only win you've gotten in a game since training camp started was a split-squad victory in a shootout.

Goals, wins, two points in the standings. Nothing Zac Rinaldo has done in this game will outweigh the value of scoring another goal or two and winning this game.
