from one extreme to the other.. Sunday at 3pm then Sunday at 8pm. I swear, the nhl scheduling team is just a bunch of monkeys throwing darts at a calendar.

Well that aint good. And no word on Iorio, though I read somewhere that he was yelling "it popped, it popped" as he went by the bench.. :-\

I don’t see any notifications of a call up from Hershey. They do have a spare Dman in Johansen should they need one. Hell of a time to throw him in the lineup though.

So Ovi just looks gassed.  A long season and all those games at the end did him no favors. For that matter, I think the whole team was exhausted at the end and could have used a few days off.  Three days in between now would help a lot.

The inexperience on the blue line is so evident vs a team like the Rags
I don't care about Oates anymore!

So they get three days rest which hopefully will get Ovi what he needs to get going.


I still hope they bring in Sgarabosa.  Ideally he would replace Pacioretti who has been a waste of a jersey.  Apparently he refused a trade at the deadline which ticks me off and should be reason enough for them to sit him - however, the rest of the league would consider that a slap in the face to a renowned veteran - so they won't do it.


If they don't sit Pacioretti, I would it Protas and send him a message.  He has just done nothing the last 30 games and when he does get a chance at scoring he has hands of stone.  They need to light a fire under him.


I hate to say it, but they also should sit Oshie.  He has made a bunch of bad decisions and turnovers and I'm afraid he is just done. Love his heart, but his legs and body can't do it on a consistent basis.
