I would have prefer Luke Gazdic and drop Smyth to 4th line.

They have to be nice to the geezer so he doesn't have a hissy-fit of being on the fourth line. It's a delicate and slow process. Also: he eats fig newtons during intermissions to keep himself regular.

that might be a dumb thing to over play Gazdic. Maybe in the future he could be as good as Chris Neil

Joey feeds him prune's while giving him updates on Matlock.

Playing Gazdic doesn't seem dumb to me. the guy has hockey skills and can be the tough bruiser just like Chris Neil. Plus, the plays don't die on Gazdic's stick, and he can keep up with the plays.

I (frank)ing love that Gazdic pickup more and more- he is EXACTLY the type of player we need going fwd... If we have 2 more of him we would be one tough team to play against...

I think is Dumb having Senior Smyth on any line period.

That stuff works really good too. I have seen its results first hand

Do we have a fifth line to drop Smyth too?

I think we need to let Eakin's have a few more games to realize this. We can't be like other retarded fanbases where we criticize everything after only 3 games.

We have to keep it reserved for Dubnyk and Smyth only.

oh I love him. I mentioned earlier in the year the oil should look to a young enforcer that could produce in the AHL.

I'm just saying I think right now he's only good for about 6-7 mins a night not 10-14. I'm a huge fan. But at this time I don't think he could keep up to the play with Arco and Yak. Not that Smyth could either... we need JJ back

Dubnyk starts tomorrow night. Dallas Eakins

I'd (frank)ing love to have this team with Marcus Foligno and Devante smith-pelly. Not as tough as Gazdic but they can play hard

I'll agree we need JJ back, but I think Gazdic can handle more than 6-7 minutes a night.

Folgino yes. DSP - I'm not sold on him.

Coach Eakins says Joensuu (back) and Grebeshkov (groin) are both close to returning. 37 has been skating, 6 will be this week too.
