Many of us were expecting third-pairing guy, but he's playing himself out of a lineup that features Troy Stecher and Josh Brown.

Matt Dumba Sucks!

I'm afraid I didn't. I told you guys he was decent, a middle pairing defender. I'm sorry for you guys that it hasn't worked out that way, but I'm more sorry for him, he's a good guy. Our defense has been a good bit worse without him, but if he's playing poorly this year keeping him around might not have made a difference for us.
 
Didn't realize that Jamie Hersch is doing play by play on the NHL network. She's not bad. Seems to have taken care of her sibilance issue, and her pipes come across better than i thought they would. She has a slower delivery and can't always keep up with the play, but doesn't stumble with words and seems well prepared. With some more games under her belt she might end up being pretty good.

Nice, I didn't know there was a word for this. Kinda weird that it has two S sounds in it. Kinda like lisp having an S in it.

27gp, 5g. Is this the end of Ovi's chase of Wayne?

I haven't been watching him, but his shooting% is terrible right now. Loss of shot velocity, not getting to the same spaces on the ice, or bad luck could be reasons for that. If it's bad luck, he may still. If he's "lost it", then he's probably not going to make it.

From what little I've seen this season, and reading some stuff from other people, he currently doesn't have it. Whether he can find it again or not, who knows. He has 2 more seasons on his contract after this one.

5goals, only 2 while a goaltender was present.

He´s playing the Canes today, starting soon. They sent a goalie on waivers earlier, so he probably gets going now that you anti-jinxed him.

Dumba didn't distinguish himself there. Hasn't had a good year, by all reports. Wonder if he is getting near done? Some guys flame out earlier than others.

I'm sure there's will at least be a place for him in some team's bottom pairing. Or at least if he's willing to get paid accordingly.
 
I like to watch Arizona and all their young kids and ex Wild players. Dumba’s been fine each time.
