maybe we should let the mentors play

[alta]

they are playin hockey, not makin shine

[Mickstix]

Unless the Panthers had a lot of sell off, they will (try to) grind us into ice chips with their forecheck..    Hope our boys packed a lunch!

Raddysh on L2 is a waste.  He's got stonier hands than Mantha.  He works and I like him in a 4th line role, but I'd rather see someone else there on a scoring line who might actually score.  I'd put Miro up there - the kid has a desire to score and he SHOOTS THE PUCK.  Hell I'd put Vrana up there before Raddysh.
Mangiapanne aint very big, but he gets scoring chances no matter where you put him.  I'd give him a shot too
Also not sure I like moving Willy off L2 with the way they been playing.

Hope the boys show up tonight.

Agree on Raddysh.  I've been wanting to like him as he is relatively big and skates ok.  He's gonna need to really work hard to keep his spot in the lineup.


I'd like to see Strome step it up while Ovi is gone and Willy as well.  Those two have gone relatively quiet. All we pretty much have right now is McMike.

[Beaglefan2]

Forgot to mention PLD.  I really, really like the way that guy plays but man oh man does he not score.  He has had a ton of chances and could easily have 10+ goals.  Either he is just snake-bit right now and is going to breakout in a big way, or he just can't finish.  I'd also like to see him drop the mitts and get meaner.

[Mickstix]

MF'r makes 8.5m x 7.. He'd better finish!!

I agree...dude is playing awesome, but he starting to remind me of Mantha in his lack of scoring.  I mean every other part of his game looks great, he just can't bury it.  Im with you, hope his puck luck changes and he erupts for some serious goal scoring....NOW, would be a good time.
Willy needs to do something.  He is zero threat to score right now.  Stromer I think is still playing well, just not getting the points he was.

[Mickstix]

    Welp, that'll probably do it vs these guys.. 


Wednesday 7:30pm.  lol
