Dude.
He seemed fine for the 3 to 5 games he's going to probably play.
Besides, last night was the first meaningful game he has played, in what, 4+ weeks?...no. 4+ months?...no. 4+ years?... yeah (or whenever it was the last time Buffalo played NHL level hockey)
Imo he’s our #7 so he plays more then 3 to 5 games. Let’s be realistic hereHe seemed fine for the 3 to 5 games he's going to probably play.

"Maybe that guy who was never good will be good if we play him more" is not a take I would spend too much effort defending.I dont know I feel like he wont be that big of an add for us but at the same time, its his first game with us. Maybe need to give him a few games before completely judging him. I think hes also played only 15 games or something I heard them say? Also had the hip surgery over the offseason. Im hopeful he can be a decent player but not going to hold my breath.

To hold the fort until our injured D corps get healthy. He has no spot in our top 6.Im not saying he is going to be good if we play him more. Im just saying we should play him more because we picked him up and plan on using him in maybe more than an emergency situation. Not a bad idea that he gets used to the system and other players. Also I cant say for sure he is going to suck with us after just 1 game. Yea he hasnt been good in the past but I remember Girardi being killed by rangers fans and then came here and wasnt that bad for us. Change is scenery can help a player. Hence why we took a chance on the former top 5 pick. If we dont play him, what the hell was the point in picking him up?

It will be tougher for me to have Point's babies now.
BIG difference, Rangers fans had a vendetta against Girardi who at one point was a solid #2 but was continued to be used there past his prime, he had good underlying numbers, it was clear he was misused at the end of his tenure in NY. Bogosian was never good, has no such numbers and just sucks, he was supposed to be an offensive defenseman but his skills never translated to the NHL, he was never good defensively and when you're an offensive defenseman who produces 10-20 points a year with a bad defensive game you can see why he fell out of favor quickly.
Is it really that big of a difference? Girardi played on some good Ranger teams and then when they started to go downhill so did he and all I remember them saying was he is the worst D in the league congrats! Similar voices about Bogosian who Im sure isnt good but hes never been on a good team before and Im not ready to say after 1 game that he just cant help us. I mean I hightly doubt our coaches/gm is saying this too.
