Pouliot has been awful....but he's a big body that can skate really well for his size.
also doesnt help that hes playing with Brassard who has been just as awful as Pouliot for the most part.

i'd almost ben in favor of shuffling the lines up to get both these guys going, except everyone else is playing really well.
Though Ryan Callahan has been very very frustrating...i was hoping that his blind turn around backhand passes through the middle were a thing of the past, but by god theyve come back with a vengeance these past few games.

Only got to see the first period and the last half of the 3rd.
- Hank was a wall, great stuff especially in the first when we just couldn't get the puck
- It's so good to have Nash back, once his conditioning and timing is 100%, watch out
- Glad Kreider got one through, very deserved
- The Staal/Stralman pairing had a really solid game
- Dorsett was good in the patches I saw
Good to see us score more than 1, bring on Nashville

I don't think he looked all that bad until that shift on the 2nd goal. That was brutal.

meh...he made a few good passes, but that penalty cost us a goal, and he made a lot of really bad plays away from the puck tonight leaving his mark wide open. theres a reason that team had 50 billion shots on goal in the first period, and part of it was horrific coverage.
ya he just needs to be more consistent. If he can ever play close to whta he did last year when we got him that would be huge. Im a little worried aboout stepan. I know he had an assist but he has been pretty bad/invisible lately
I thought he had a good game. Defended well, passed well. he made a great pinch on the Moore goal, made a questionable pinch on the Stars 2nd goal.
On another subject, Stars is my second favorite team and to keep the Benn-Seguin-Nichushkin line quiet all game was a phenomenal job. Mostly due to Hank, but I am going to give a lot of credit to Girardi and McDonagh, especially McDonagh, that Nichushkin kid is a handful.

Change is good.
Agreed about Poo, but I actually think Brassard's been getting better and better for a while now, dating back about 5 or 6 games.

Brassard has all the tools it's just a consistency thing with him. We saw it last year after the trade and in the playoffs, the guy was on fire. But in an 82 game season where it's a different team or sometimes a different city or situation every night, he's not going to do what he did in the playoffs.
Pouliot might sit when Pyatt is ready. That's the way it looks.
This was the Boston game with them playing the role of Boston.
I'm still not sold on this group yet. They need one more scoring winger to play with Brassard and Hagelin. Maybe it's Kristo/Fast at the end of the year or maybe it's whoever they obtain from Del Zotto
(Simmonds, Zibby, ?)
Time will tell but they have to go into Nashville and take advantage of a team with a 3rd string journeyman goalie.

Remember that thread on our own board about Hank sucking because of the pad size reduction? Even bigger joke!

Cally has had a few rough games, but I'm not freaking out. I've seen enough of him over the years to know how fantastic of a player he is.

I missed the first period, and the only thing that makes it ok is the fact I was watching my son score his first goal of the season. (long overdue, but not from lack of effort)
Hopefully I can catch some first period highlights.

BTW, did championship show his stat about the Rangers when they score a first goal? Or does he only bring up that stat when they lose?
Why? He should have stopped that 2nd goal, it may have been a 2 on 1 but it's an easy save.

I should have enjoyed this win, but guess what?
I have Center Ice, and they NEVER show the Rangers feed.
The Stars broadcast is utter garbage. Their announcers make the game unwatchable, they're almost as bad as the Pittsburgh crew. Some of the camera angles they were using looked like a high school AV club president was calling the shots. At the end of the game, they had a corner ice view, which was absolutely godawful.
Ruined what should have been a good game to watch. Lundqvist was an absolute beast.

This is what I'd like to see as well. Miller will get enough minutes to develop on the 3rd line. Pyatt and Pouliot as spares. And then the kids like Kristo, Fast, Lindberg can come up when they're completely ready.

I actually find it annoying when someone tells you to guess and actually expect you to.

Stars broadcasts be panning to girls in the stands and the annoucers make comments
no really, they used to do that. One of the first years after the lockout CI would stay with the arena feed during commericals and thats what they would show sometimes
