More scratches to come I'm sure. It rubbed me the wrong way Nick Shultz was unable to hit the net. Del Zotto worrying a little too much about offense. MacDonald unable to stabilize much from the point in the offensive zone. I just felt the puck was too easily able to leave the zone. I don't care which but one of Read or Umberger have got to sit.

if he scratches laughton he needs to get piss tested

it's a (frank)ing disgrace.

i'd scratch umberger and read next game and keep vinny out too.

There is no way RJ should be playing next game. Read could use some press box time as well.
I heard a Calgary Flames radio guy this morning and he stressed that Bob Hartley makes his players " Earn their ice time" and that is one of the reasons for their early season success.
Wish our coach did that.

Defense 101.

I know that. You know that. The kid plying atom knows that. The guy getting paid $5mm per year for the next 6 years, to play defense, apparently don't know that

Clark Griswold could give 23 guys named Rus better advice than whatever poop Berube is spewing.

They left the slightly improved Umberger in California, but I'd definitely scratch Read for a game or two. He's been horrible.

They've made suggestions during the broadcast that he's been dealing with some foot injuries most of the season. If so, they should really think about sitting him and letting it heal

ARRRGH...if you're not going to do anything at all, may as well let the (frank)ing goalie see the puck.

Hey, I'm Joe Russomanno. I want to trade away a 22 year old who's having a bad season on a terrible team so I can fondle my Richard with Ed Snider over having a franchise D man, because that will really turn things around.
- feelingkettle


Wait, who wouldn't trade Coots for a franchise D man? I mean, we're talking Weber, Doughty, Hedman, Karlsson, maybe younger guys like Ekblad, Seth Jones...I'd trade Coots for any one of them without thinking twice...

I think July is a good target date for getting off the IR. We don't want to rush anything with that foot injury. Do it right the first time.

Can't be scared to scratch Read with how he's played all season -- I give him credit for his zone starts, because he is right there with Couturier, but Read's not passing the eye test far too often this season

I don't expect him to be extremely physical, don't expect him to score 30 goals

I did kinda expect him to score 20 goals and at least look dangerous off the rush and on counterattacks, and be a strong penalty killer and two-way player

That guy's shown up for maybe three games this season

That's exactly what I said when I heard her speak. Kinda like a she-dude whose meds haven't quite gotten the voice hormones right yet.

i love read, and im sure i do make justifications for him, and they do have some merit. but i do think thats the best way to put it. he really hasnt been passing the eye test on a lot of occasions.

I love Coots but as the key piece to getting a franchise D man on the right side of 30... that is a move I make all day.

Unforunately it probably takes at least one 1st rounder along with Coots to get that kind of deal done.

The problem is, if they scratched everyone that deserves it, they might not be able to fill out two lines.
