hes on tonight! is he considered our best goalie prospect or is ullmark?
- gerbe42

Makarov is up and coming, he's not ready though. I've been saying for 2 years now that I think he will be our starter in the future, or somebody elses for that matter.

Unless of course Nolan somehow gets Gudļevskis on this team.

Why Mitchell?
- Herzeleid

He has really imposing size and strength something our forward crew lacks. Along with that he can score too. He is still young and could become more consistent and better defensively still. he already seems to open up a lot of ice for his teammates. Basically he can score as much as all the others and has the size too.
edit: was talking about Stewart. Not Mitchell, read it wrong.

Moulson has an NTC, correct? Im pretty sure TM has gone on record as "liking" Ennis. Not sure what will happen with CoHo.
- seedy

I thought Moulson did not sure, deal was turned down for Hodgson from what I told. not a big deal and I don't know what team it was.

okay cool thanks for the insight

now on to watch the rest of blacklist

CoHo was pretty good tonight.
- sippyd

Just listening to WGR's highlights now.
grigo sounded good. My gut feeling would say get him back to rochester to play with Armia until at least the trade deadline, if not a full season.

Mitchell has about 5 goals in his last 100 games. Scoring is a about the last thing he does

They don't want to jeopardize the tank with those two goal scorers.

He play tough though. And he's fast.

Sorry, I was talking about stewart. I think I qread it wrong. Mitchel is small. Brainfart. My bad

No problem.

Mitchell at least has speed, if it came down to him or Ellis I'd take Mitchell every time

- sippyd

Not sure if thats sarcasm or not, but its true regardless. If they keep any of these "good" kids up and they catch fire, it may jeopardize the losing season. They want to "entertain" this year but still kind of finish at the bottom.

I guess he is supposed to be a really strong penalty killer. Ill need to watch him more. But I definitely agree with you.

EJ sucks.

Makarov is the truth.

So Grigs gets more than 11 min TOI and scores a goal........

we're are so (frank)ed this year

w/e good year to tank


and all the EJ lovers you done with him yet ?

watching the Winnipeg and Minnesota game. holy poop its exciting! ehlers with some good dangles. i hope we are that offensively gifted in the near future

Think we can replace our whole line too? Ej was hit 16 times. I wonder if saints fans are ready to get rid of brees since they're 1-3. Maybe an even swap? I know ej isnt the greatest but if you wanna blame an entire lose on someone you should look at the entire offense first. Our offense (not just ej) isnt very good.

Brees has a track record. EJ Manuel does not...at any level.

Manuel had time to make throws. He missed a lot of them. Some early drops were problematic as well, but receivers were starting to get visibly frustrated in the 2nd half.

The inconsistency is mind numbing.

And we refused to run.

I watched the 49ers game yesterday, Kaepernick had a similar game to Manuel, lots of bad throws, turnovers. Yet the big difference in the game was a couple great grabs by his recievers, and they went back to the run in the 2nd half.

This much like the SD game was a collective fail offensively. Not just the QB.

That being said, EJ has about 4 games left to show he can play at a higher level or I'm about done

And Drew Brees had absolutely no track record at this point in his career (14 starts)

My money is on him or Ullmark.

Not an EJ fan but, get rid of Hackett and then see what he can do.

They probably should have run more, I would agree. However, the playcalling was more than good enough to win that game. Houston didn't shut down the pass. Buffalo just missed the throws, receivers and the quarterback alike.

The Texans also loaded the box a lot in order to stop the run, most likely because they really didn't respect Buffalo's passing game at all.
