The Cubs will still suck, I figued he would get that or something like that.

Agreed, that's probably my biggest problem with it. Why start shelling out that kind of money when you still have so many other holes in the organization? Theo Epstein is doing exactly what got him fired in Boston.

A few games of Benoit in his place and Edmonton won't know what hit'em

Benoit played last night. So even that doesn't guarantee us a loss anymore.

Didn't even notice. The winning is one thing but holy smokes they're playing some boring ass hockey. They're not playing to win they're playing to not lose. 55 minute collapse in front of the net and pray we score on the 1 or 2 offensive possessions we get.

Plenty of time left. I just do see TV falling out of 30th. Ship Stewie off for a prospect and send the kid down to help Roch.
Big Z to WJC'S and have Marzaros and Benoit play regularly.
Breakup Girgs, Ennis, MattyMo
Up Hodgson playing time.
Sit Staff...play Kaletta

So many moves to make without any major trades like Enroth, Neuvirth, etc. (Outside of Stewie)
- IonSabres

They aren't going to sit Stafford, Kaleta will be hurt within the next 4 games if he plays, Mezaros will be traded as might Beniot. Breaking up the line won't matter.

Wouldn't shock me if he traded the pick

At this point the two biggest reasons we're winning as much as we are is because of the Ennis/Girgs/Moulson line and goaltending. Any dip in production from them and things will fall off the tracks again.

Welcome to 1995 minus the antics.

Most of the anti tankers here female doged about how boring we were ladt year and how at least this time we'll be entertained. Last nights game was anything but. It's the worst of both worlds. Boring as hell and nothing to show for it.

I think the defense has more to do with it than the Ennis/Girgensons line.

We are still only scoring under 2 goals a game.

One mildly entertaining period amongst a series of boring ones does not an entertaining team make.

your going to see a lot of 2-1 games with nolan as a coach, when the team turns the corner

the players will work hard in the corners, dig out loose pucks, high energy players not afraid to drop the gloves



it is what it is

it's how he coached the sabres in 95
it's how he coaches latvia

It's not even the defense. It's the goaltending. And while we're still under 2 goals per game, that's mostly because they were so bad offensively the first month and a half of the season. Getting shut out in 4 out of 10 games or something like that is going to skew the numbers for quite a while unless you start scoring 10 a game.

IMO Nolan gets a "promotion" when the corner is turned

Goaltending helps, but even Enroth said that he has had it easy with how the team defense is limiting the good chances. We don't give up odd man rushes or breakaways.

Girgensons has been good but they aren't exactly lighting the world on fire.

He has 4 points over his last 9 games since the Toronto game when the streak started
