Eller is day to day, at this point I expect a game time decision. And Lavi likes his lines so no change expected there either.
Sammy in net tonight
Beaglefan2:
So, I was wrong about:
Jenson - thought he was a rag-doll below average d-man at a costly salary. He still can get pushed around, but man has he been good and is skating like a maniac.
Charra - thought he was done and was a bad addition. He has been really good and steady, although I hate to see Ziggy have to sit.
Kuzy - thought he was going to explode with 30+ goals. I'm done with him.
I was right about:
Faceoffs - I begged for them to get a coach to address this and they did. Seems to be much better now.

last night I was thinking he's only marginally better than Semin, great potential and no desire

They were saying what a great game Kuzy had last night.. I thought he looked rather lazy (as usual) to my eye. He scored a goal and I guess had a good recovery/back check once? But it must just be the way he skates. Doesn't look like he's "trying" or moving his legs much. I know he glides well, but even in the D zone, going after a loose puck or something, just looks like he doesn't even try to go strong to the puck. I still think he brings positives, but at his salary it's annoying.
