It doesn't surprise me. Anaheim has a lot of able puckmovers. The only thing Wiz adds to that lineup that they don't already have is the PP QB, and if he isn't getting points in that role he's a liability.

Anyone out there truly believe that Wiz will suit up in a CBJ jersey again, whenever that time may be?... his heart is here. It's evident.
Double-Shift Lasse
Just post better
I don't know about this but I admit to being surprised at the level of dispassion Wiz seems to be playing with. I figured he'd get it sorted out mentally and then get to his game. I know he's not an all-around dominant player, but I expected to see... fire? Didn't see it the other night. I felt like the most he showed in the game here was to acknowledge the crowd after the tribute vid. I admit to getting the same feeling as BLBow, that his heart is here.
I could give a crap about Wisnewski's feelings. He's not a very good hockey player anymore. So we moved him and his salary. The End.

That's fine. I just don't think he's very good outside of the power play. He was so bad in the playoff series he was crying in his stall. Which shows he cares which is fine but the numbers don't lie. Worst plus minus in the playoffs making big cheese

I don't know if numbers lie, but you don't seem to be aware that Wiz usually has better plus/minus, and better Corsi than our other minute-eating d-men.
He had a broken rib, an injured foot, and I haven't verified it but there were reports of a concussion. No, not everybody is that hurt in the playoffs. In the first round very few players, if any, play that hurt.

"I've never been a part of that," Weber said. "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger, I guess. But this is a whole new low right now."

Blast from the past...I was just looking at AHL Player Transactions (someone said Milano was hurt and I wanted to see if he showed up on some sort of IR). Right at the top of the list...Oklahoma signed David Ling to a PTO...and he scored a goal in his first AHL game in four years.
That dude has been everywhere...OHL, ECHL, IHL, AHL, NHL, the old Russian league, Switzerland, Sweden, Italy, England and KHL.
40 years old and still playing pro hockey...just one step below the NHL. Impressive!

I hope Buffalo fans get lectures about how they need to be more like Columbus fans.

Didn't Bergeron play with broken ribs that punctured his lungs in the finals?
I expect that
From USAToday:
Barry Trotz admits he was wrong about Alex Ovechkin

A good read. I agree with Trotz, one does not become "The Great 8" without working hard and really caring. His numbers are staggering and nobody on ice is more fun to watch.

This changed football helmets when they did this. I've always been a big proponent of actually wearing gear correctly first to prevent injuries (so many players across sports do not) but this is still interesting.
