Thanks Bill

That may be the worst right wing lineup in the league in recent history.

That Bruins lineup is really strong down the middle. Coyle a 3C and Nosek a 4C are solid.

I’ve been interested to see what Frost and Farabee can do together. Be nice if Torts can show some patience and give them time to build chemistry and maybe even thrive.

Beantown is a racist term, change it

Well this oughta be fun tonight.

Only time I’ve noticed Farabee all season including the power play is when he’s playing on the top line. Outside of this, I keep forgetting he isn’t out recovering from surgery.

LOL if Torts scratches Frost for Patrick Brown.

The Hextall defending on the last blog was disgusting

Has he been activated from his conditioning stint?

My neighbor was elated to find a nice puppy at the pound last week. Lots more needing a home and some love.

No guarantee that it works. Nothing to lose by giving it a try.

Why are they carrying a waiver exempt rookie dman around as a regular healthy scratch? This team fails at even the most basic aspects of player development.

It's been 4 years since he was fired. Plenty of time for the new management to put their stamp on things.

Patrick Brown has been activated off IR. He will start at RW4. Kieffer Bellows exits the lineup again.

The pursuit to the bottom continues. Luckily, it looks like STL has stabilized. They should be passing the Flyers shortly. So far it has been a decent week for the tank.

When the famous hockey tournament is no longer called the Beanpot, I'll change the term in game previews.

Zamula hasn't played since November 5th. Maybe the media could ask the coach and GM what the hell is going on?

I’m going to take this post and respond in agreement.

There's a lot here that you don't have correct in my opinion. Hextall did make his plan clear when he took the job. That the franchise needed to completely change. When upper management lot patience and started to mettle in, he locked everyone out. He should've done that right from the start. It wasn't childish. It was completely necessary. It was not successful due to the country club interference.

I think Hextall tried to do what most of you even today ask for. Build through the draft. Hextall was clear about his vision and direction from day one. Trying and failing at a goal is better than not having one at all. We currently do not have a direction, which is the problem.

When does Bellows get waived do you think?

Been asked. Torts' response was "He'll play when I decide to put him back in." The GM does not comment on lineups.

For the love of God please. Pretty please no more Hextall talk. Nothing more can be said that hasn’t been beaten to death 10,000 x.

They sure did

I get the sense that management was/is intrigued by the player's pedigree and shot, and Torts really wasn't enthralled from the get go but dressed him the first three games and then the last two -- while waiting for Brown to get cleared -- because Allison was out.

Torts has done nothing consistent so far to put guys that we should be looking at in a position to succeed. Or even show what they have for that matter. Keep rolling out Mac and ND, that’ll get you somewhere
