Just a couple of quick thoughts:
- "You know, if Nyquist isn't going to be in the top-6...."
Babcock puts him up with Datsyuk and Flip, a couple of "meh" shifts, and he's back on the 3rd line.
Remind you of anyone? Anyone else who was "undersized," "highly-skilled," and lit up the AHL?
- Kyle Quincey has GOT. TO. GO. I'm abandoning my "dump Ericsson" campaign to concentrate on Quincey instead.
- Franzen is damned close behind him. He's basically a slightly larger Samuelsson who doesn't play as much on the perimeter.
- Yes, Lashoff got burned on that 2nd goal, but if I had to choose between him and Quincey at this point, I'm taking Lashoff 1,000,000 times out of 100.
- Huskins came in and did what he had to do. Not a bad signing at all.
- I understand Babcock's desire to have a RH shot on the PP point, but I think he may have abandon that quest in the name of MAKING THE PP NOT SUCK.
Otherwise, Jimmy was good. Yeah, that's it.
