Mike Johnston apparently sees a lot of things that we don´t. Just accept it, my friend.How is it that Sill doesn't get axed when he takes that penalty at the end of regulation last night, and then absent-mindedly plays the puck leading to the too many men on the ice penalty? Does he do anything well enough to excuse this? Cause I don't see it.
Oh good. One of the only semi-useful fourth liners available to the team sent back down. Scratch Goc again and make it 2/2.
Looking forward to watching Pouliot for way more minutes than he should realistically be getting, tonight.
That was sarcastic, but I actually am. Not that I am expecting amazing things, I expect a lot of mistakes. But still will be fun to see what he can do out there. Wasn't it fun seeing him pull a Mario, first goal on first shot in first game? It adds some interest to a dreary game in January for me, one that we likely lose pretty badly.

He had ups and downs last callup. I liked some things. Didn't like others.
I have a hard time getting excited for Pouliot, TBH. I just don't know where the guy fits in when it comes to the big picture.
They already have a guy to do that. Given... he's not good at it. But that's the company line. Guys who put up big powerplay numbers want paid. I don't see room for both and they already balked once at trading Letang.
And I don't agree about that last change. Malkin jumped off early. That's pretty common... not just for Malkin, either. But in general. Could have/should have been a cleaner change but if we are assigning blame to just one guy, it's clearly on Sill and his awful hockey IQ. But whatever... not really important, now.
Goc, as lame as he is, can play the game at least. It seems like Goc/Adams/Sill can all kill penalties. Not gonna argue about Farnham because it'll inevitably lead to a "Goons scare the other team!" vs. "No they honestly don't" debate.
My latest theory on Sill is it's the Nova Scotia connection MJ>Sid>Sill. That and they seem to enjoy his locker room presence.
