He knows where he's got to be to compete now, and he's nowhere near it. Go back, play 20 a game, dominate, improve, come back, kick ass.<br /><br />Hard to believe, but true: there are worse teams than us (jets, maybe even columbus too). Big 4-point game tonight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2496400506403679451.post-58085268810898857722011-10-21T23:35:12.632-04:002011-10-21T23:35:12.632-04:00JL

How a successful line is built - a playmaker (Jason, see Trottier), a finisher (MM9, see Bossy), and a puck retriever (SN- see Gillies).<br /><br />Secondly, another blog suggesting that Zack benefitted from Regin's minutes, not Z-bad. Could be just a match-up thing, or better face-offs, or maybe not. I somehow can't see Zack on the second line (though I do like him alot).<br /><br />As much as Z-bad will be a good player for us, another year in Sverge won't hurt him - maybe less pressure, and time for him to work on a few things. Besides, I hate burning a year on his contract when the team is not likely going anywhere.<br /><br />I can see Nikita coming back to play on the second line with Alfie. I still think Frenchie could center that line - just keep his head up!<br /><br />Andy back to his old self - let's hope it lasts.<br /><br />We'll see where we stack up after the Blue Jackets.<br /><br />JLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
