Wow 1 Goal and 1 post ... Carolina is doing pretty good on our Powerplay

LOL, it's so sad....

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

The FES line has been mediocre all year. No reason Ennis should have 2x as many minutes as Grigs, give the kid a freaking chance to produce, not like Ennis is doing anything but jack ****.

 

[Stockey]

Got two in that period lets get two more in the 3rd. Staying positive.

 

[Dubi Doo]

This reminds me of the sabres from the middle of last year. God i hope we don't see a string of games like the month of January that year. It was the most uninspiring hockey i have ever seen.

 

[Shmuffalo]

At least I'm able to enjoy a Terrapin Liquid Bliss tonight, otherwise, I'd be extra crabby.

 

[Chainshot]

FES not getting chances. Not liking Foligno not working very hard out there -- kid can't think he's safe since he's still waiver exempt and they have a roster move to come.

 

[sjci]

I've hated Ennis lately. He tries being too cute with the puck. He's sucked so far this season

 

[sba]

Wondering the same thing. He threw one hit behind the net, but he looks too comfortable.

Wonder if Lindy would consider sitting him.

If his name was Folignov he'd already be there.

Time for SOG or FOG?

 

[Ace1963]

Giving up 21 shots in a period isn't going to cut it.

 

[Chainshot]

Can't score if you don't shoot. Too fancy (as always) on the PP.

Well, they don't have the injury excuse to fall back on...hopefully they don't use the shortened season as one to spare Ruff.

 

[Dubi Doo]

I have a feeling we see some changes come the third period. We really have no options at center, though.

 

[Chainshot]

Wonder if Lindy would consider sitting him.

If his name was Folignov he'd already be there.

I'd consider sending his ass to Rochester and I'd let him know it.

Really?

 

[NotABadPeriod]

I'd start by switching Foligno and Ott. Maybe that'll wake Foligno up a bit, and maybe Ott can get Ennis going.

Agreed, they play a similar style anyways.

 

[Chainshot]

I'd consider parking Foligno a shift or two and give his ice to hungrier players.

 

[zbubble]

I didn´t say short....I said small. Noronen was terrible at covering thhe net. He played smalll. Maybe you never watched him play just looking at his stats.

I probably watched every game he played for us. I don't see the correlation. I don't think Noronen played small, he just played poorly at times.

VHP
Ott-Ennis-Kaleta
Gerbe-Grigorenko-Stafford
Foligno-Hecht-Pominville/Vanek/Scott

Its worth a shot

 

[Chainshot]

Hodgson, 3-12 at the dot. Christ, work on that **** in practice. Hecht 1-4, Grigs 0-2.

 

[Jame]

hopsecutioner for me

 

[joshjull]

If Grigs was indeed benched in favor of Hecht for the latter's defensive prowess, it no longer matters.

e: you get the feeling this is the game, don't you?

Hecht played on maybe two shifts in place of Grigs on that line.

Guess what? they actually created chances. Then he cetner his own linehis last few shifts and they created chances and a good scoring chance.

If you're actually suggesting throwing in the towel because of the score then force feeding Grigs minutes ..... no thanks.


Its incredible the whining over Grigs. Face it, at this point he is not at all an impact player and really looks lost. Thats fine at his age. But he is not playing anywhere near the level Hecht is and thats not even debatable. So if Hecht gets some shifts in his place so be it. This is the NHL not the AHL where you give guys minutes for development purposes.

 

[zenthusiast]

quadruple shift hecht

Good call.


Although with the way Ennis is playing it may not matter.
