I say it every time.

Watching Spy Game is like watching Robert Redford hand the baton to Brad Pitt.

Good blog.

I wish we could play like this more consistently.

It seems the main issue is keeping these guys motivated to give it their all each game.

Not sure if that's on players or coaches, but something will have to give eventually here...

Gerbe did just have a SICK shootout goal in the swiss league with his silky mits.

I think it's time to ice the best players in your top 9 with the big club

bailey, baptiste and nylander should get some time with the big club playing meaningful minutes


instead our coach rewards bailey with his goal, with 10 minutes of ice time


disco sucks

- homiedclown


Nylander isn't ready...yeah, he's playing great against his peers, which bodes well for the future, but this is the big time and he's not quite there yet

I get what you're saying, though

Just no

next year

- GERBE!!!75PTS

if that is the case, schneider and cor should be the call ups, and have a fire sale in the next 5 weeks


leave bailey, carrier, fasching, baptiste, and nylander all in rochester

I'm surprised we didn't claim Rattie
He's still young & a decent prospect...
Apparently GMTM just didn't like him for whatever reason,
But I didn't see any risk in picking him up?
Send down Grant or sit Deslauriers
If Rattie doesn't work out, put him back on waivers
Seemed like a no brainer to me

it's frustrating


they call the kids up, put them in a spot where they can't succeed, on the 4th line

those kids are meant to be top 6 guys, and we have holes in the top 6

you would think, if your calling a guy up to play 8 minutes a night, your tapping a vet like schneider or cor

I agree
No need to rush Nylander
Let him play out the season in the AHL
Maybe bring him up for a few games at the end of the year, just so he can get an idea of what he's in store for next season

But why not add another guy (for free) with NHL potential & scoring ability?

Unless he blows the doors off next pre-season, keep him there for two years.

You get a 20 yr old with 2 years of pro hockey under his belt and 3 EL years still remaining.

IMO if at this point we're still picking up guys off the scrapheap, we're in trouble.
