Shouldn't Babcock be the aggressor against a garbage team at home with last change?
What do you mean? Putting the 4th line against the other teams 3rd line?

The Flyers didn't play their 4th line either, Babcock matches what the other team does at home.
The league thought the whole Canucks putting a hit out on Steve Moore thing was bad. Now they'll have fans putting a hit out on Dan Cleary.Couldn't Newbury have slashed Cleary, instead of Tootoo?
Throw us a bone Kris. Help a former team out!
You were right. Bert was effective. I know last time my posts were directed at you in an angry manner related to Bert/ Boston.
My bad for my earlier post as well (Jman).
I still hate parts of the lineup.
2 minutes left? Cleary time!
I'll be honest, he had his best game by far today. Played like an actual NHL player.
He hade a couple of mistakes I saw, but a good hustle here and there perhaps like on the EN
The one thing that stood out to me during that game was that when I heard the commentary team say "Dan Cleary" it wasn't immediately followed by one of these phrases:
... can't hold onto the puck
... loses the puck
... couldn't collect the pass
... gets checked off the puck
... misses the net
... turns the puck over
I hate it...but Roy is looking like a hell of an NHL coach.
Weiss had to carry a 4th liner and lazy ass (pun intended) the whole game. He's never going to get in our good graces...
I thought both Weiss and Franzen skated hard out there, but it just hasn't been clicking for either of them.
Based on what I've seen it might prove to be better for both of them to get split up at some point.
I know he's not a fast skater who covers a lot of ice and gives 100% every shift. He has a pretty laid back "style" of play. But this a whole new level of lazy right here.
There were just too many times I saw Franzen just give up on a play when just by trying he could've retrieved it or done something to counter a Philly player. He coughed up the puck and just literally (yes, I man literally) stood there. That happened at least twice if not more. And it wasn't at the end of shift or anything.
