Dee Karl: Bitten at the Shark Tank I wasn't supposed to get upset over a two game losing streak -- how about a three?

Changing coaches may give them a bounce but if you are the GM the decision is whether these players are learning and improving. The talent on the team is good but still young players like Strome as Butch pointed out are still playing against older and stronger players. Last night's game was a big improvement. Unlike the 2013 season when every game was an emotional division battle, western teams that are older and experienced can still pick a young team apart.

If you want to study a game tape, study the WIN NYR game which was a classic defensive battle. Most teams can't score at will when you get into this part of the season because the opposition is more in sync on d. Isles are a talented team but let's not get carried away.

I know i'm gonna take some heat for this, but... We need to send Lee back down, he's been invisible the last 3 games. his game is to get in front of the net and screen the goalie, but he's not doing that, it's like he's not even there


We need bailey & grabner back asap

Then you're not watching the games. He's been active along the boards and in front of the net. He was a lot more effective last night than a lot of other players. Are you expecting him to score every night? Because he's playing about 11 minutes and Matt Martin is holding that line back along with their limited ice time. And who do you propose we replace him with?

Sorry, this is one of the more idiotic posts I've read in a while.

You need to explain yourself because a 6ft 3inch 230lb forward who goes to the front of the net, causes havoc and works well along the boards ISN’T what we need?

So of colin mcdonald, eric boulton, which one are you putting in for Lee that’s an upgrade? Which kid in the system are you going to call up that gives us a big physical winger that has hands?

Man crush on Lee? No, what I see is a guy who scores goals every time he’s played in the NHL and goes to the front of the net and has some serious size to him, and you think he should be sent back down?

Go ahead bud, explain who’s taking his roster spot and how they’re so much better and give us something more up front.

This is funny if you aren’t serious, and so woefully pathetic if you are.

I am all for subbing in Boulton for Lee.

But that is just me...
