what happened to bouwmeester? i didnt turn it on until very late
Took a hit and then raced to the bench right after. Not sure where the injury is.

Figures when I finally bench Pietro because he just isn't scoring, he ends up putting up 2 assists.
lol at Sens fans saying Petro has been invisible!
2 points
+2
5 blocked shots
good game overall, made Ottawas best players "invisible"
he's had a good game today!
also liked Ells, good positioning and movement, not much he could do on the goals against
Not a big deal. J-bo has been like any invisible third pair defender in the league. Call up Lindbohm and you won't notice any difference.Hope JBo is OK. we have another afternoon game tomorrow so he won't get a chance to rest if he needs to

Karlsson wouldn't be a good forward imo. He would probably put up less points. He's a great offensive defenseman and usually not that bad on defense, but he gave up much in this game. So does Pie every game, and he is not even close to Karlssons offense. It's pathetic to read some posters here trying to make Pietrangelo look good after this game. Sure he did not do any damage, but I didnt see any of the $7m he gets.For the most part he was invisible, which is a great thing when he has two assists. He had a very solid game. Karlsson was not invisible, for all the wrong reasons. Two breakaways while he was on the ice, Lehtera stripped him and fed Frank wide open in the slot, and Steen had a partial break when he was caught on the wrong side of the puck. He is not good defensively. He just isn't. He should honestly just make the full transition to forward. He'd be so much more dangerous.

That was Nashville.Reminds me of a few years ago against Minny when they had that guy Bang (pronounced like the hippie accessory) and he could barely contain himself as he proclaimed "and Bang takes a big hit!"
That's OK, I seriously saw a post on the asylum saying to trade Bouwmeester because Chris Butler could easily replace him.
I'm not happy because there is no real progress on the issues we've had since the start of the season. We had players coming out in October talking about our need to be more aggressive, heading towards December and it is the same passive nonsense.
I don't really care about winning games at this point, we're going to be in the playoffs. I don't care about Stastny, Pietrangelo, Backes, whoever... they are good enough players that they'll find their games as the season goes along.
Start improving the basics and I'll be happy. The PK isn't going to improve until they stop being so passive, the PP numbers are going to fall like they did in the second half of last season unless we can get someone other than Shattenkirk consistently executing zone entries. The passive play goes beyond the PK, too comfortable just skating backwards even when we have the numbers advantage. There is no need to hit everything that moves, but there is a lack of physicality in how the team is playing. Don't go out of your way, but if the check is there then finish it, it'll buy you a split second on the next shift. Etc etc.
Yeah, right now Blues don't look like a contender. Of course, surprises are always possible, but they aren't intense enough, defense doesn't look good and scoring sucks.
The Kings have only won one game on the road this year. Do you think they're not a contender?
