I didn't think we actually played that bad. Gus needed to be on his toes a bit, him and Reimer this year are WAY too streaky it feels like.

Komisarek likely is press-boxed tonight due to his horrible showing in the ice (and strip that A off him and give it to Liles, Lupul, or Grabovski)

Schenn's appearing more and more tradeable each and every day. Phaneuf still is arguably our best defencemen out there, although Liles is up there too.

Either way, let's hope for a win against the Oilers tonight, although who knows what might happen. I wouldn't be surprised to see us lose tonight, but we'll beat the Canucks on Saturday...

thats highly unlikely

i say Gardiner is our best D-Man, he seems to be outplayed Phaneuf

behind the back passes, trys to dangle 3 guys, holds the puck for too long, doesn't know when to dump it etc..
he has showed improvement, but he needs to realize their is a time and a place for those type of plays.

no idea how these guys have become permanent fixtures in our top-9. It doesn't make any sense.

I still like Crabb on the PK, he really has been a key contributor for the turnaround. Crabb on the fourth line works, but not in the top 9 like you say.

Right now, yes. But thats only because Gunnarsson is injured. Shows our "depth".
