I would really love to see Hertl & Tierney continue centering the 3rd & 4th lines the rest of the season. Let them get a jump on next season by having them centre the 3rd & 4th lines the rest of the way. But i know it won't happen with Todd.
No this is not actually true. I have watched Hannan play, he is better then Wallin, sorry but he is an easy mark for people to be critical of. Early last year it was Murray, then Stuart now Hannan, all over 30, none that bad. Hannan isn't as bad as Irwin, and plays good positional hockey. I never was a huge fan of his, but people think he is the sole reason the teams defense is bad, and that is nowhere near the truth.
And lets remember two seasons ago the talk was all about Tomas Hertl the next super star in waiting. Maybe, and I am hoping so, but at this point I don't see it. - Sharkfan48
Ok so Irwin has 9 points in 30ish games and Hannan 4 in 40ish. Guess hes worse. Hertl has been mis-used this year and the knee was a big reason he hasnt progressed like he was. Plus give the guy a break its his second year dude. Your not a superstar either...
