How the hell has Therrien ****ed Eller?

That's a comical statement if I ever head one. If anything Therrien has been too soft on Eller, he's been playing like crap for 90% of the season and he's had his regular ice time and never been scratched while Briere gets benched, scratched and plays on the 4th line. Same for Desharnais early in the season.

Since October 12th he has 5-8-13 in 47 games and -15. This isn't a 5 or 10 game slump, that's over a half season. His minutes for the season are almost at 17, a ridiculous amount of minutes for a guy playing like crap.

Sometimes I wonder if you even follow this team.

DD and DB were demoted, benched and scratched because they couldn't produce while getting sheltered minutes playing with MaxPac.
Eller has produced every time he was given competent wingers. On the EGG line he's above .5 pt rating, with Galchenyuk alone he's at .5. Since Galy's injury, Eller has played with guys that don't even have 10 pts, but let's not mention this. It's probably Eller's fault Bourque has 2 assists all year.

Nothing you say here should be of any surprise to anyone, except for that europe comment, that is just an assumption and you know what they say about assuming, right?.

What you call "sheltering", is really just good coaching. Murray's lack of footspeed means that he should be paired with someone that can cover for him(rookie) and his prowess in defensive situations(pk) means that surely his minutes will be specialized.

No doubting that he literally transforms our team and Defense with his physical presence and leadership, though.

If you knew anything about how murray has been sheltered, you'd realise that he gets an inordinate amount of offensive starts for someone who is supposedly a defensive specialist.

Yes. Douglas Murray has transformed our team, alright. Transformed into a team that gets regularly outshot and hemmed in our own zone. :laugh:

Bournival and Beaulieu have played strong games, even Thomas has made himself more noticeable than yesterday.

MB needs to wake up. How much more evidence does he need to see that this teams is lacking big time on offense.

Price is the Jets best player so far...wow another gift goal.

When you're struggling to score your goalie can't give up 2 goals like that...equals a loss.

2 bad goals for Price today :(

Might be the first time he's done that this season. Sucks for now, but in the long-run, very few games where he's had a couple of bad goals? I'll take it every day and twice on Sundays.

Except this Sunday.

Can we please fire Therrien right now? Molson comes in all Vince McMahon style and fires Therrien and then does the 'suck it!' x-pac move to Bergevin in the GM box?

That would make me soooo happy.

(nice dive job Briere! Whoo!)
