GDT: CBJ @ LA | Hello old friends | 10:30 PM EST

He can get the wrister off lighting fast

Only two behind rookie lead in goals

Would be great if he can catch them

 

[I3LI3]

Agree with folks on Sillinger. He should be sent to Cleveland - like weeks ago. Finish the year with Kent at center to give him some exposure to that role.

weeks ago? months ago.

Dammit Bjorkstrand

What was Marchenko doing ? Bad penalty

 

[ViD]

Sharks miraculously made it to OT

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Lfg kings and sharks

 

[stevo61]

Had to hold my breath on that last Eberle chance

 

[VABUCK]

Marchenko spending more time in Cleveland than Sillinger speaks volumes for how inept Jarmo and Lars are.

Well, in their defense, Marchenko had a mediocre pre season and a rookie, Sillinger had a great rookie year

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Damn that was soft reimer. Oh well. 3 point cushion better than 2

I thought Sillinger had a great rookie year for an 18 year old, and that was about it.

 

[NotCommitted]

Might it be they ultimately see Sillinger as two-way middle-6 type of guy and don't care about his confidence or offense and think he best develops for that role through battling it out in the NHL until he starts to get it? That's the best I can do, he should've been in the AHL most of the season, if not last season already.

Our development coaches are former crowd entertaining fighters.

Not enough discussion of this very point. Larsen is one thing, but why in the world is Boll a development coach? He's a loyal Jacket, a good soldier, etc. But while I understand that many times a player like Boll becomes a good all-round coach, Boller has LITTLE to NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE, no AHL training as a coach, etc...
Maybe it's an overly simplistic view by me, but it just seems obvious that Boller and the remainder of the staff are part of the problem, not the answer.

It is part of the reason I want to clean house. Is Vogulhuber a good AHL coach or a good soldier who has stuck with the franchise? I think Dorsett has developed his development skills and is a good choice, but I am less sure about Boll. And is Rick Nash the best choice of a guy to be groomed for a GM type position?

I'm sure similar things were said about Sakic and Yzerman earlier in their FO careers. We as fans don't know how these guys operate. I would imagine if they didn't think he was capable, they wouldn't have him helping making decisions. Sometimes it works out sometimes it doesn't(Gretzky coaching)
