I don't have any interest in running head first into a cement wall.

He can't 1 on 1 yet, effectively. It's painfully obvious. It's fine, he just needs to develop physically further.
- TheSabresTaco

he needs time to figure out how to play against men...and the best place for that might be the ahl...he's had his moments in buffalo, but Rochester is also a good place to develop consistency...

or, if they're gonna keep him here, they should do what I mentioned, third-line center between Moulson and Gionta, two vets who can help immensely

The sun is either brightly shining and its 80 degrees or the tornado sirens are going off when you deal with gerbe

In non-Ovechkin news, no timetable for Backstrom. Trotz said unlikely he plays tomorrow. Caps bringing someone up with Collins on waivers.

TYLER ENNIS
OG, 0A 0pts -1+/1 (official stats) TOI 18:30 (KaiserEstimated)

Knocked off pucks are equal. Knocked down in offensive zone are equal (KaiserEstimated)

Just because..

Tyler Ennis is trying to do too much. Reinhart looks like he's overwhelmed.

I did. I chose him in 3 leagues and Davis in one where I have nothing to lose.

Using straight numbers or ATOI knocked off pucks?

What about winning board battles and fenwick?

Or just the eye test. Reinhart doesn't have the strength to win wall battles. Am I the only one noticing this?

The only reason why I didn't choose West was because Davis was good last year when Charles was out poop I hope I did not blow it

the starting quarterback you mentioned lead his team to a total of 24 points over two games and if it wasn't for a strong defense playing against an average offense, the team would have lost both instead of one...

still don't get the ej hate...in 2013 he was one tom brady, last-minute drive to a field goal away from pulling off an upset....ej went 2-2 and was playing great until he was injured against Cleveland...

people forget, and it's never mentioned by the know-it-alls on wgr, that manuel was drafted in the mold of colin kapernick, a read option quarterback who flourished under greg roman in san fran...

he's got 16 nfl games under his belt all under a rather poor head coach and an offensive coordinator who was in way over his head...there was no offensive line and the number one receiver was stevie Johnson

I had that thought as well. Till I noticed West was the go-to vs a pretty decent Chicago run D. West=McCoy, Davis=Williams or Boobie. I mean, if McCoy was playing well that is. Or at all..

I'm just hedging my bets on West being the higher scoring back, and Davis will pick up some vulture TDs in the red zone.

Lets not act like Taylor didn't help us with those games this year em plus I'm not saying EJ's in we're automatically going to lose the injuries to the team are piling up like crazy it's one thing after another and you can't say that's not true it seems every week there's a new injury

Well (frank) me I picked him up because Charles was my running back now I'm freaking scared and of course all the other running backs got taken today

although I may be branded an ej apologist, just wanted to get this out there because no one else mentions it...personally, let ej do what he's capable of--run or pass--and we'll see where it takes them...

on the injuries, one thing whaley never gets credit for in the media is the depth he's built...it's really been put to the test and coaching will need to be top-notch to survive this

Tyrod out 3 weeks? Could play with a brace even if it is 3 one of them is a bye.

Karlos we should know more tomorrow on his timetable. I would expect JAX

Sammy is back this week.

McCoy 5 weeks out? He practiced today and could play if he wanted to but wants to be 100% and will be back after the bye.

Your hockey stats and smarts are pretty good. Stick to that. Football isn't your thing and its ok.

Not. Ready.
