I would just hate to see our guys getting slammed around out there with Philty having no fear of retaliation. Or if we didn retaliate and it was Cally, Dubi or Avery we would lose them to the fighting penalty. Fear is a good motivator, and the fear of Orr knocking one of the Cheesesteaks out, see Fedoruk, Todd, would work for me. I would have to think the though of getting into it again with Downie isn’t appealing to Toots, for example. Sometimes teams, or specific players, need to be taught a lesson, within the rules of the game. Mess with us and our thumper will see you next time you are on the ice. It’s what makes hockey a great sport.

PJ – That’s a trap then. If we’re leading there’s no reason to change what’s working. That would be changing to play their game. That’s what I’m afraid of.

salty – I really hope we don’t end up paying him his extension $. $5mil would be appropriate I guess. But there’s no telling with slats. The only reason I say to even try to resign him at all, is that over the last few weeks it seems he understands that his game has to change. Without being able to win the 1 on 1 battles that he used to, he has no choice. i think he realizes that now.

Jagr and Malik have both been playing better. I am not saying that I love Malik now, but when he plays like this it is a good thing for our team. And he has been taking the body a little more than usual. I think Backman was just having some first game with a new team jitters, but if he does it again on Sunday he is going to really hear it from the fans.

Sjostrom shows some promise, but will not flourish on a line with Betts and Orr/Hollweg. He needs someone to complement his speed. Backman,oh boy, I would say lets give it a few more games and see, but we dont have time for this BS. Sather did nothing at the deadline to address our lack of physicality on the blueline, and it will show on Sunday vs Philly.

Well I’d hope Jagr does it since we’re keeping him anyway. I just wonder how much we’ll really offer him for another year when he falls short. You have to assume it’ll be $5M+ at the very least, if not $6-7ish knowing Sloppy Bottom Sather.

Beer Me- I didn’t think you are Anti-Orr. I agree wiht you, but dictating a game is hard. I don’t think Toots had any intentiaon of fighting that PUNK Downie, who by the way played last night so I’m assuming he is a go for Sun, yet it just happened. Let’s use last night for example, if we jump out to a lead and they start taking liberties what do we do?? We can’t control if they come out like the dirty team they have shown themselves to be. We don’t have to get into it, but if the game turns that way by chance, I don’t want Cally, Avs, and Dubi having to fight the likes of Cote and Downie. Some games just require a more physical team dressed.

So who thinks Jags can put up 1.6 ppg the rest of the way to put trigger #1 into play?

Creamy baby shit on shanny’s post game interview was me. The guy always knows exactly what to say, there is no denying that. He is a great leader, probably one on the best in the game, ever.

but just because shanny say something to a guy with a mic after a 5-0 bedshitting, doesn’t make me as a fan think…. “Ahh, ol’ Shanny says they’re just gonna move on, so they definitely will”....

SOS…haha. I met his dad near the box office on leetch night. I thought he was going to try to sell me porn. lol

So true that dubi looks ‘smooth’. Never gets rattled. Even after fights.
