I pretty much stand by my very hated comments. Heck, I could careless that I'm hated at all. I don't understand why a vet such as Lecavalier had to sit 7 games. Are you telling me that the message couldn't possibly get through after two or three sits? Chris Vandevelde was really the better option?

You mean that putting a guy in the press box for a few games might yield positive results?

A few people in here may stroke out at that one.

Man, you know how I am -- when you're a bad team and the results aren't there, the only sacred cows are the guys who are producing

He shouldn't have been the only forward who got scratched, TBH, and I absolutely would've scratched Umberger before him, when Vinny went out

Cataldi: Boosh, you seem to know a lot about the game. Ya gotta stop that. Some guy from Kensington has no idea about nuance, they care if he can fight, hit or score goals. If he can't do that he's a wussy.

Cataldi is a moron and I would gladly spend a night in jail for the opportunity to punch him in the face.

Hopefully it continues. He's not going to get a bigger role, with more skilled linemates, unless he keeps working hard.

It's just a simple switch

VL move to 3rd
Zombie to 4 th

VL is more offensively talented and would be better off with Read and Couturier
Zombie just wanders and would be good with Rinaldo

Could really do w/o that pass from behind the net w/ his back turned. That's the kind of poop that must drive Bur-oob-ee crazy.
- Tomahawk


Yeah -- not ideal, but I've seen that over the course of games. It's not ideal puck management, but I can fathom it

I'm with you in that nobody should be safe. You gotta work and produce to get the ice time.

Never saw a reason not try it again. Lecavalier will NEVER see consistent production on the fourth line.

Jake!

Has Vinny been benched already? Or is he hurt?
