Been real busy all day, just seen the score. What the hell happened, did we get Leino, Connolly, and Hodgson back?

I love how people always bash Tim Connolly. But when he wasn't hurt he was pretty damn good for us. Let's compare him to Tyler Ennis shall we? In 416 regular season games Tim Connolly scored 280 points for a .67 points per game average. In 345 games Tyler Ennis has 212 points for a .61 average. Connolly was better in the playoffs too. .64 to Ennis' .615.

I'll totally give you Leino. And Hodgson the last 2 years. And even then Hodgson still managed to put up 20 goals in 13-14.

Wasn't commenting on their skill level, all three had skill, I was commenting on the fact that all three were nothing but screaming vaginas

I don't think anyone took tonight too seriously. I mean c'mon, Kaleta played.

Connoly was unfortunate. Regier should have a "Leino" neck tattoo for that signing. And i feel like Hodgson for Kassian was, or is, going to end up as a wash. I dont see Kassian having much of a future greater than Hodgson. It was a desperate hockey trade for both teams.
Not disagreeing with you.

Leino was Darcy's target from the get go, never had any interest in Brad Richards.

Everyone gets a chance to standout, and given the result nobody who played can really complain if they get sent to Roch or Jrs.

I think tonight's lineup will be the first real peek at what Bylsma plans to do w the final roster.

I almost feel as though some players were set up for failure last night.

Wonder if it was his usual work of checking the boards instead of playing the game...

When the "best" forward on the roster is McGinn, I'm pretty sure it was a throw away game on purpose.

(by best, I just mean career stats)

When your best player for this game gives up 6 goals, says a lot about the team in front of him.

It's looking like he never recovered from the other injury and shouldn't have been playing.

It is what it is, really. We needed to rest our quality guys so they can come out roaring when the games actually count. Im sure the guys who played last night understood that. Either way, its not fun watching us get destroyed.

It was their last hurrah before getting sent down. The mostly real team will play tonight.

Tough lesson last night for some of the future Americans for sure.
I look forward to this evenings game.
Columbus is a fast team.
Meaning, this could get ugly also or, this roster shows us that they are a team on the rise.

Excited to see the "NHL" roster tonight and the line combinations, should be a good game. Hope to see the same dominance from those top 2 lines against NHLers.
