He isn't fast
He isn't big
Isn't great defensively
Isn't a game changer
But man does he have amazing hand eye coordination

That about says it. He can only do one thing in the game of hockey. Luckily for him it's score goals.

Were big boys Jimmy. It's forgotten. Frans is not terrible but is no untouchable that's for sure.

What was that you said about the fans being taken out of the game, Howie? I couldn't hear you over the "Go! Jets! Go!" chant in the background.

No matter who wins...it turned out to be a good game to watch at least. I thought the Isles were in big trouble earlier on.

Whatever happens I'm happy getting at least a point here. We played like poop 45 out of the 60 minutes of this game.

Yup...but, that said, get out there and get that second point, Isles.

I'd say he's actually getting better. Much better along the boards in the last two games, and much beter puck possession. His problem is still that he's just not going to throw those checks we all wish he'd throw...it's magnified when we're watching Kane run over people...that's the "Iginla-style forward" we had all read that Okposo would be. He ain't that, but he's not useless either, imo.
- UIF

He doesn't need to check, he just needs to stay on his skates if somebody on the bench sneezes, he's looked bad. I'll disgree with you on this one. He's not useless but he'd be better suited on the third line.

Hickey gets caught joining the rush and then can't catch his man, Kane. Total shame since the kid played very well otherwise

I'm definitely pleased with what Ulstrom is showing. I think the kid has earned more icetime

Hickey, Strait, and Accion on the ice during the 4 on 4..... no need to say anymore! I mean come on, this team is entertaining but God Damn the guys that are actual NHLer's deserve more. Stop being a sanitation team and taking everyone's trash, or at least make a trade. We all know #8 in Toronto is now available. This team is still below the minimum, get to the floor and get someone in here that has some experience. That was an embarassment, and a lesson in how to carry an egg around the arena and not crack it...... "feel free to stand in front of our net"

They played much better than us tonight and they've started off pretty well this season.

Komi... he has been horrible ever since he left Markov's side.

He's available for his reason!!!

And there is a reason nobody wants him!!!
