Please, please, please don't make me watch weber today.
- Khmylev




Weber has actually been pretty good this year
For 6/7 defenseman, I think he fits the role just fine

He'll prob generate some trade interest though
Prob get something like a 4th for him
Or maybe he's packaged with a pick to get a better one

Oh goodie... We're playing a pissed off Rangers team with Hank in net... I'm changing my prediction to 4- 1

Is he really playing? Source? Link? If he is I'm definitely putting him in for the week. Since all the (good) goalies that are playing twice have back to backs and aren't likely to actually play both games.

Since it's looking like we'll get another top forward in this draft...
I'm really liking how our forwards will look going forward

Girgensons-Eichel-(draft pick)
Kane-O'Reilly-Reinhart
Foligno-Larsson-Ennis

Foligno & Larsson look to be possible weak links there
But we've got Bailey, Baptiste, Fasching, Rodrigues & a few other pretty decent forward prospects with top9 potential
If only one or 2 of them work out, we're looking really good

Had those two as well originally, but Colorado has been on fire lately. I'm going with the countrymen Lundqvist and Lehner. But I totally gutted my base team to get as many guys with 2 games and favorable match ups as possible, and I forgot to write it down for next week. Oops.

Optimist Prime! I seriously agree, although I hope that one or two veterans get acquired that are more than 4th-line, character-but-not-much-else-guys. All the players you list are average age about 22, and I definitely want our elder ranks to include a couple guys who have been through the playoffs or won a Cup, not Legwand/ Gio types.

Justin Williams would have been a great addition

I can't believe I'm typing this, but I think I'll be sad if Weber is moved.

I'd rather keep him for a 4th, seriously.
But hey that's just me.
Keep him in his role that he seems to be excelling at and everyone's happy.

I usually don't like to complain about the broadcast, but having the Rangers' radio play by play guy along with their TV color guy on a national broadcast just doesn't seem right.

Florida couldn't give the kid another $600K to make an even 6 for 36? Cheap bastards. I know there's a South Florida stereotype joke in there somewhere...

Hey, I saw Moulson throw a check.

Nice deflection by Gionta. Has he scored a regular goal yet this season? It seems they're all deflections.
