someone forgot to tell him we were tanking
He's going into my doghouse with JSG.

EJ makes a good defensive play about as often as he makes bad ones.
1 is better than 2. Good game from the Avs though.
We got a couple special dmen in Elliott and Barrie. That little fake and wrister by Elliott was sexy. They'll make mistakes here and there but be patient with them cuz they're for real.
Nice night for McLeod, 3 goals in 2 games now...our new top 6 winger
It is good to see that EJ is getting a little criticism and people aren't just blindly saying he is a beast. That was sickening.
I think people are going to have to give Hunny some credit. He has had one hell of a season regardless of his brain farts and poor decisions.
Man I was hoping he'd pull off the hat trick.
I hope he sticks around. He plays his role very well.
Compared with early last season, Hunny has made great improvements I would say. IIRC, he turned it up with just a couple weeks left in the season and it has continued on this season. Yes he makes stupid mistakes sometimes, but so does everyone on this team. Give him a 5/6 role with some 3/4 spot duty in case of injuries and I think he can bring more positives to this team than negatives.
McLeod - Malone - Bordeleau
Very serviceable 4th line, IMO. I quite like Malone. Will gladly take him over Olver or Mitchell as 4th line center, and Bordeleau/McLeod over Kobasew/Palushaj/VDG/junk on the wings.

Regressed? I didn't have a problem with anything you said until the regressed part.
He may not have developed upwards like we had hoped or wanted when he came here, but he certainly hasn't regressed.
Just because he isn't putting up points like he did when he first came here doesn't mean he has regressed. His defensive game has taken big strides forward, and his offensive game hasn't been all that bad, he makes good plays that lead to good scoring chances every game, he just hasn't had any luck on finding a goal or finding the scoresheet.
But regressed? come one man.
I got it. I finally figured out who PAP reminds me of....Robert Lang.
he's still been our best defenseman since he's been here and it's never been close. still isn't and the attempt to suggest otherwise is laughable.
to suggest Hunwick has been better is borderline mentally impaired.
if you take off the blinders and the Hunwick hate, he's actually been better than Johnson lately. Johnson is much sturdier in front of the net and on the boards than Hunwick, but offensively the two are the same at this point, and defensively they both make terrible mistakes.
i don't hate Hunwick. i hate the role he's forced to play above his station.
he's a 3rd pairing d man on a good team. maybe even a healthy scratch. he's asked to play a role he is not suited for.
i don't have blinders on with regards to EJ.
he has been and still is our best defenseman. i know what his flaws are and that he makes dumb ass mistakes at times on D.
but he's still our best D man. i liken him to Varly, he can struggle like a mother but even during his erratic modes he still is out best player on that side overall. just because he's not scoring doesn't lessen his role as the best guy.
or do you not remember when he was out for those games and we got owned like a AHL team?
