Don't worry guys, I'm going to the game tonight so they will definitely win. In which period does Vinny complete a Gordie Howe hat trick??

Man. The math is just rough right now.

Everybody can read the standings. But even with them playing better and accumulating points, they've lost ground from 10 days ago AND have been passed by the Blue Jackets.

I'm not being negative. They can still turn it around and make the playoffs.

But realistically, they are going to have to go on an absolute tear at some point AND some teams in front of them are going to have to play worse for an extend period AND those teams in front of them will have to lose in regulation when they are not playing well.

It's starting to get a little dire here, and I don't know that tonight isn't too soon to start using the term "crucial," and it's within the realm of must-win.

A regulation loss would be devastating

Way to take one for the team. Victory all around!

Now, who wants to argue about stuff? Anybody?

Thank you. I'm used to being a team player when it comes to these types of things. Someone has to step up.

Its never to early to put my GM hat on...

How'd we get here?
Trade Coburn for a late 1st rounder, L Schenn for a 4th
Buyout Vinny this summer (Waiting another year makes little difference, however waiting one more year to buyout Umberger is a bigger difference, keep him)

Leier, Ghost, Morin, Cousins all on the roster

UFA signings- Beauchimin(Give him whatever he wants for 2 years), and one of Beleskey/Zuccarello

For White to join the team would someone (i.e. VdV) have to be sent down?

By my count adding White would give them 24 players on the roster.

So much for giving VLC "opportunities with skill players." Would rather him still be a scratch than play on that line.. Perhaps itll be shuffled mid-game

Does this take into consideration what other posters are in the blog posting when the attacks are made? I'm tired of people misusing numbers around here.

Missed it.. did he explain why??
- WarriorHockey21


Didn't say anything yesterday. Previously said -- I'm paraphrasing, not directly quoting -- that MDZ fell back into old bad habits in the first game against the Rangers and it got worse following a short injury-related absence from an injury in the first NYR game. Said that MDZ has to be a defenseman first and foremost and not a rover. If he wants to be the latter, he won't play.

23. Allow me to start.

You probably won't know who he is skating with until the morning skate. I think we might get a better idea then.

I don't know yet what the lineup will be, since yesterday's practice was an optional with only eight on the ice. Will become clearer at the morning skate and the lineups will be adjusted if need be.
