on which planet is Benoit a good PKer?

I don't understand why Risto isn't getting those minutes. Even if he struggles at times, that's the future. Let him get those PK minutes. Let's see if he can over these next few years develop into that all-situations D-man he's got the tools to be.

Not only should he have been signed to a bridge deal to further measure his value to the team, his position on the team needed to be evaluated. I hope his contract doesn't prevent a trade when the right time comes along, because if he's not going to be a C here I highly doubt he's the type of winger to push the team toward a Cup contender.

Hodgson is still young, and the cap continues to rise. There would be plenty of interest if he were to be shopped.

This is a team built to get to the bottom. Weak in back, weak on d, mostly non scoring up front. Work as hard as you want guys...hit as often as you want...you won't have the puck.

Myers gets sticked in the nuts, and he goes to the box for roughing? lol, OK.

His reaction absolutely warrants a penalty. I'm fine with that. But it really needs to be a 4 on 4 rather than a PP for the black-****s


edit- filtering myself because I assumed what I said would be auto filtered, haha.

Benoit sucks.

Replace Mez and Benoit with Pysyk and Zadarov, and this team is way better imo. Those two have accounted for > 50% of the goof ups so far.

They are playing one of the best teams in the league. Of course they'll look inferior tonight. Other nights they'll look much better. And with any luck, win a few. Just not too much :biglaugh:

Well, at least they're going to be predictable. Hang in there through two, fall apart in the 3rd. Should help planning as the season progresses.
