Your observations are cogent, and worth examining.

As for Redden….

He has yet to ever move his legs in anything even resembling a quick start. His passes, and even his shooting is as languid as a Pasha on opium, and so deliberate that you can see the goalie taking a drink before stopping them. He is the most maddening player on this team, because he can do much more than he does.

Never forget however that it is Renney who decides who goes on the ice and when. ( And when has he ever made a truly bright move as a bench coach?)

Voros is a sham. He looks far better than he is, and there are so many more talented people in this league than him that I am amazed when I see him on the ice.

( Incidentally, if what is written in the papers is to be believed, one gets the impression that Sundin has brought a whole lot of nothingness to Vancouver)...at least so far.

I cannot say about Graves, but neither Leetch nor Richter
gave less than was their norm, right to the end. And Leetch had a fine end of season playoffs with the Leafs… Mccabe
in particular raved about how much he learned from that brief period playing with him.

Leetch would do wonders as a D coach for at least training camp, and as a tutor for these young Ds. It’s beyond belief that this team cannot find better Assistant coaches than
the ones they are presently carrying, because if they are imparting any knowledge to these players it has yet to materialize in their play performances.

Thanks. I just dont know. Can it be that they arent allowed to? I mean only John Gianonne asks him the questions some times. And when was the last time Sather made a statement to the press? Nothing makes any sense on this club.

Its BS. The first period they just played defense, albeit good defense. But the B’s were really taking it to them. There wasnt any attack, they didnt force the play, didnt force turn over, made simple mistakes that cost them scoring chances. And Roszi was great in this game. He saved two goals. He did smart subtle things… was calm and cool with the puck in the D zone. Glad to see him playing better.

Redden just flat out sucks – there isnt ANY upside to him whatsoever. I was willing to give him a few chances and he just doesnt get any better. Kalinin is playing better than him and that poor bastard got hurt. Some PP QB. Thanks Glenn. SCHMUCK!!!!!

Great minds and all that…

Dubi-Anisimov-Zherdev

This team needs size (as evidenced by Dawes’ pu—ying out on that clearing attempt). Lets get Artie’s 6’5” frame in there.

Naslund-Gomez-Callahan
Dubi-Anisimov-Zherdev
Korpikoski-Drury-Prucha
Sjo-Betts-Orr
Voros

Staal-Rozsival
Girardi-Mara
Redden-Reitz

How can you not clear that puck in the 2nd period? What a b___ch.

Dawes is slow, can’t hit, gets muscled off of the puck EVERYTIME, and scores a goal once every 12 games.

The worst part about his game is that he backchecks like he’s Ilya Kolvalchuk. The problem being, that Kovy has more talent in his thumb alone. Dawes backchecks like he’s a superstar, yet he’s a complete scrub.

Go work on your tan in Cancun, Nigel. Get the f—- off the team.

I don’t see how Pruchs doesn’t get a shot in the next game. And hopefully Dubi steps up since he’s a big Graves fan.
