99% sure he's kidding.
both j staal and semin are better passers than i realized.
I don't why people say Ward wasn't good tonight. He was, he's one of the main reasons we won the game imo. His rebound control isn't perfect yet but two goals out of three no one would have stopped.
Enroth was the mediocre goalie tonight. That Faulk goal

And what is Joni Pitkanen's training regiment? No hockey in lockout, transistions straight into 24 minutes a night. Is he secretly a gym rat?

Is Boychuk worse than Larose?
100% sure I'm not.
Leaving last season, I said McBain was in dire need of vastly improving his leg strength. The boy can't change direction for ****, and he sure as hell can't battle for pucks along the boards. You *have* to be able to be strong on your skates at low/no speed as a defenseman. It's extremely disappointing that it's so obvious that he's done nothing to improve that basic part of his game in the 8 months he wasn't on the ice.
And clearly I'm not the only one who feels he neglected his game in the offseason. It's no mystery to me why he's been a healthy scratch so far this season...

You'll have to forgive me with how this board works. I stopped taking you seriously after you said he looked like dog ****.
Yeah, it's very true that it can be difficult to determine when someone is being sarcastic...on this board or any written word. As someone who was in the corporate world as e-mail became a communication tool, I learned that the hard way.
But yes, I'm serious about being very disappointed in him. To clarify, I think he *looks* like dog ****...slow, sluggish, and weak. There's no questioning his skill and (apparent) hockey sense/thinking of the game. The problem is that he appears to like playing video games more than he likes working on becoming the best hockey player that he can be.
He could be better than Justin Faulk, but he's not, and with each passing year that he doesn't make any improvements, it's becoming a reality that he never will be. And I'm not basing this on the lofty expectations that some had after his initial call-up in the spring of 2010...I never had those expectations, myself. As it is, he is an average 4th defenseman who is not very good at playing defense. And his deficiencies are *so* easily fixed...it just takes a little bit of what the organization hangs its hat on: hard ****ing work.
Such a waste...
