Haven't watched a game in a bit, when did DeKeyser go up to the second pair?

Don't mind how they are listed... they are all about 3rd pairing effectiveness wise

Oh I know, I just remember those two being especially shitty together.

 

[HIFE]

Is anyone else pleasantly surprised by Bertuzzi? In 117 less games than AA he's slowly becoming a more dependable, effective NHL player. Wins board battles, makes plays to keep possession, chips pucks deep to avoid turnovers. Lot of smart little things that's helped Z's line.

AA has been a hot mess the last few. 31 pts in 59 games is very good but lately he's getting passes intercepted, stripped of the puck too often. Is his chemistry thrown off with different linemates? Would he be as effective as Bert if given time on the 1st line?

 

[Spitfire11]

It just sunk in that Ericsson - Daley has been this team's top defense pairing all year... **** Blashill deserves the Jack Adams for keeping this team out of last place.

Bertuzzi has a lot more hockey IQ than the rest of our youngsters except for Larkin, maybe, Maybe. I mean, Bert has made some stupid decisions like getting baited into an egregious slash but experience is going to improve a lot of that.

 

[NickH8]

Witkowski in for Frk, what a great idea!

I'd like to see him get more goals, but that's difficult on this team. I'm sure they'll come.

Meh, it increases the chances that Perry will get his face bashed in. A very slim chance still, but we have to cling to some sort of hope, right?

Absolutely. He's my favorite youngster

It's not a huge deal, Frk is a little overrated by some people, but I'd prefer to get the young guy with a little bit of upside in the lineup than the career AHLer.

Then again, some fights could be fun.

Tim Peel alert!

 

[dragonballgtz]

The fan behind Trash looks like an older version of Ozzy

 

[NickH8]

Ottawa has passed us in the standings, we now have the fourth best lottery odds!

 

[Redder Winger]

Oh goodie.
Witkowski.

LOL
gonna say, looked like Ozzie's drunk uncle.

 

[Lampedampe]

Why even bother...

 

[Redder Winger]

Nielsen took the wrong way around the net

 

[NickH8]

Well that's what we like to call a defensive breakdown.

 

[dragonballgtz]

I want to see an overhead of that goal to see what really happen

 

[dragonballgtz]

Nice Witkowski, thatta boy

 

[NickH8]

Nice Witkowski, thatta boy

Good clean hit, if he's gonna be in the line up I wanna see stuff like that.

 

[NervousPerson]

Look at this team trying to move the puck up the ice on a 6 on 5.

 

[Redder Winger]

It started with a not-very good clear and change by the Red Wings.
Then Henrique beat Ericsson to the puck behind the net and played it.
Then Nielsen took the wrong way around the net.
Daley was too slow getting back.
