he looks like a 12 yr old
It's not really comparable. When we see Josefson or Tedenby on a PP or a consistent top 9 role, we can talk.
i still don;t like gionta, and i'll own my hate just like bruce wayne owns his zajac hate!
But he did have a good game, and Deboer used him correctly, so I won't complain. It's when he goes on the pk that I take issue.
okay...i'm an idiot. happy? still don't like him.You mean the same pk where he scored that short-handed goal?
okay...i'm an idiot. happy? still don't like him.

And there in lies the problem......
JJ and Tedyboo suck because they don't get minutes, or is it JJ and Tedenby don't get minutes because they suck. (suck is a harsh word, but couldn't think of a better one that still made the point). I mean, would you even want either of them in a top 9 role consistently or on the PP?
Hell, Clowe has more points than JJ, and most of us forgot Clowe was even alive.
How immature is our fan base to trash Karlsson?
I guess we can't make fun of Ottawa because we're not as good as them.
Oh wait.
Considering how bad our top 9, I wouldn't have a problem with it. Go ask the NHL board how great our top 9 is?
Gelinas is playing nearly 20 minutes a game with 2nd PP time. Merrill is playing major minutes now. Boucher actually was inserted on the first line for a brief time. In contrast, the two Swedes have been buried down on lines with less than adequate minutes. It's not really comparable. When we see Josefson or Tedenby on a PP or a consistent top 9 role, we can talk.
for the record
Cordell would move Larsson for Evander Kane
seriously? Let it go man, its obvious both Josefson and Tedenby are not NHL players at this point - all you're doing is making excuses for them now. Its not a coincidence that nearly everybody on the roster makes more of an impact than them.
You need to figure out when to cut your losses and move on. Its over, they're not NHL'ers, no matter how many excuses people keep trying to come up with. The bottom line is this - if they are capable of playing in this league, they would have forced the coach to give them more playing time. Instead, the exact opposite happened, and now Tedenby is in the AHL and Josefson is likely going to sit on the bench the rest of the season as long as Gionta is healthy, and rightfully so.
Niceeeeeeee.
Anybody have video of the MSG slow mo that showed it wasn't a slash?

you mean that one?

Here it is slowed even more. Good non-call. Cowen put his stick way out to his right without even having the puck and tried to block Brunner from playing it. Brunner just bull dogged him. I hope we see more of that from him.
Tedenby might be a lost cause, I'll give you that, but Josefson IS NHL caliber. He's a very solid 3rd line center and for those who didn't give a crap about our #1 center producing offensively, should give this kid the same lenght of rope Zajac (if not more) when talking about a potential bottom 6 center.
The kid doesn't score, ok, we get that. Is he playing with players that compliment his game... no. Did he get a shot with veteran linemates during the regular season... no. Did he look GREAT in preseason playing alongside Elias and Brunner... yes.
Moving Josefson would be a mistake IMO, unless we can package him with one of our rookie d-man for a top line forward.
