Cakewalk, that’s all true, and frustrating… gotta remember Sam’s trying to feed his family though and yeah there are certain written and unwritten rules you follow if you want to keep your job.

All you 4th line haters, just stick a frickin sock in it. Even strength, that line was the best last night. Short handed, that line (Sjo and Betts) was the best last night. Betts was a touch weak on faceoffs, but his blocked shot with a broken stick is why I love that guy. Bob should stick a fork in his eye and break his hands in the process so he can’t type anymore.

On Voros…way to play your way out of the lineup buddy. I mean come on. The penalty on the PP was a bit of a weak call as it was going both ways but clearly Voros did enough to make himself out to be more of the culprit. On the other penalties, he just was too aggressive and not disciplined. Take a seat. Glad to see Renney benched him for the rest of the game and awarded Sjo some time with Dubi and Zherdev.

Kalinin got undressed. That is why you take the body Dmitri.

Maloney can say what he wants about Staal but the kid had two whacks at Bobby Ryan in the crease and only really moved him AFTER the puck was in the net. Bobby Ryan had at least 2 swings at the puck. He should have been on his ass after the 1st one.

I thought the guys played alright last night. It’s nice to score first and then never be trailing.

I like where we sit at the AS Break.

oops meant NHL games for Krog/Lundmark.

Mara will get 4m+ next year, and he deserves it… but we won’t be able to give that to him unless Redden/Rozsi are gone.

Re Sam’s statement: I asked Renney…..” This is exactly the problem with knowing and being on speaking terms with coaches and players. They become friends, so that you cannot write critically, or even constructively, anymore. I would stay miles from the people I write about, to better write objectively. Besides, all you get is fluff from these people. Cliches. Smokescreen nonsense. They NEVER tell you what that are really thinking or discussing with their peers in private. The best sports journalism is outsider views, not “insider media scoops” from interviewing these people. Oh, well, it just goes on.

Exactly BDW. Staal for now. Then I’d agree Mara next (he’s also going to have to want more money after how hes played this season).

“be careful of ahl stats. lundmark was player of month in november and krog and paranteau always put up a ton of points in the ahl.”

That’s true, but Krog and Lundmark have played plenty of AHL games. Parenteau has played a total of 5 and had one point… I’ve wanted that guy up since last year, dammit!

I’d say dollar for dollar, Staal would win that award…at least for now.
