that's my beef with bogo, he has the tools to be a really good #2 d man, no consistency
- homiedclown

He looks good today. He needs to separate himself from #3 and #29 to make it worth keeping him long term IMO

Who isn't? I thought he was having a very good year

It seems every time you guys trade for a winger for Crosby he ends up with Malkin

Crosby isn't easy to play with as Team Canada has discovered as well. Lots more give and go with him compared to Malkin who prefers to individually control the puck for long periods of time.

I don't expect too much consistency from anyone on a team that has had so many changes in the last year. Yes, millionaires should come to play every game, but I can name at least 10 Sabres whose game has improved from the first half of the year.

Idk, I'm under the opinion, that anyone uses this site during work, doesn't have the right to criticize someone calling off of work. I realize this doesn't apply to most today, but I know it applies to the majority during the week.

I don't really mean NHL players call off work...it's just unrealistic to expect anyone performs at 100% every game, every shift. Why doesn't Crosby have 50 goals by now if he's supposedly the best player in the game?

And, if my work had turnover of half our staff, plus a new manager (me), I would expect productivity to be down somewhat for a few weeks or months until the staff got used to each other and the new system, regardless of how much each person gets paid.

What about those of us folks at work who are working hard periodically? You know the, when called upon, types...I want to criticize!

Both d-men on one side of the ice though - was it Ristolainen who should have been on the left (open) side?

1. This team is way too undisciplined
2. Both goals are not on Lenher at all
3. The stadium sounds quieter than a PGA event, its pretty bad the golf clapping is making me sad. There use to be times when little kids would wear those orange ear muffs to help with the noise

That's where he wandered away from and left Wilson alone.

That was a real weak call on Eichel especially after Hagelein spun around and smacked Lehner in the face.

Gotcha. Missed the initial play and the replay didn't go that far back.

Yeah, makes me consider what the announcers just mentioned about it perhaps being better off to go to the bench when without a stick. Lose 5-8 seconds that way and really no different during that time than if the player is there without a stick or not there.

Totally. Jack playing with a bit of an edge is good, though.

First period looked ok, but let's get off the ice already.

Skunk's second weak giveaway in our zone leads to goal #3.

Someone needs to throw a doughnut on the ice when he has the puck.

Bad D all around both on d-men and forwards, but that being said, Lenher has to take half the blame on that one for over selling. There shouldn't have been a player so wide open on that side of the net, especially kessel, but other than that, he's played well again. First 2 goals were hard to place blame, but I'll assume the haters will say otherwise
