I hope we se Ziggy tonight.
To me...Chara looked sluggish in game one, much less 2nd of back to back games. But maybe I'm just not used to him and he just looks slow all the time or maybe it's just game 1 after 8 months of not playing. Kind of hard to judge at this point. I though our D looked pretty rusty and disjointed overall, but again with only basically a week or so of practice and NO exhibition games, and especially a new coach & system and several new guys....I'm not surprised or really worried at this point.
I'm not knocking the guy (Chara) and I'm sure he brings more than just his game with his character and experience (not unlike Orpik did at the end) but I'm hoping Ziggy and Dr Fever get some real ice time this season and we can whittle down to the real best 6 d for when it matters.
I think Chara is a steal at $800k, and maybe hard to turn that down, but not sure we really needed him on this squad. I guess if it falls in your lap, even if you don't need it, you take it if it helps the team.
Our top line didn't seem to struggle as much. Seven points for the night is not too shabby. One point out of our second line and two out of the third line not so great, but...we shall see. I'd really like to get some scoring out of our L3 this year.
I was hoping Dillon's goal would actually be the Game winner, but we let that one in at the end so...
Anyway, the win is what we needed, so let's just keep doing that.

Obviously you forgot to hit send when you were typing out your memo to every player in the league. Such a shame as you're so connected and could have made the on ice product much worse for everyone out there that knows nothing about hockey like myself.

Huh :huh:
I was referring to someone's post (Beaglefan....I think) much earlier about their being an unwritten rule about no fighting this year...which I didn't really think would be the case considering the schedule and it throwing the same teams together often and repeatedly which in my mind leads to more friction amongst the squads. Actually I thought YOU were more aligned with that thinking
I never claimed to be connected, but rather just a fan who shares HIS OPINIONS about his favorite sport and favorite team.
Did I butthurt you somewhere else, or are you just being saucey? Or did I just misunderstand you altogether? Or are you just mad about having to share Lil's queen?
alta:
right now all the lines are tentatively the same, even the zebras
May have to wait for the 4pmish update they always give
