Wilkes-barre is a desirable location.

I'm not saying it isn't. But she wasn't complaining about him not getting an NHL. She was upset that he wasn't getting an AHL shot.

But now he is playing in Germany so she got a European vacation out of it.

SERIOUSLY, and NONE fit under the CAP...

FFS, the poop that spills from your mouth at times in your vitriolic hate of particular players is amazing. Why do you bother to watch hockey when you find it so painful to watch your favorite team?


Sorry for the outburst

Maybe you should go back to 3rd grade and learn the difference between "a long" and "along". Maybe also learn how to spell ARGUMENT

Ad hominem ... Lol... Is this what people do when they have no real arguement of substance? Your really grasping at straws here, I'm disappointed, I guess I expected more substance from the hockey experts.

So let me get this straight, Im an "idiot" and need to go back to "3rd grade because:
1) I think that despres has played among the top 6 dmen on the team and deserves to dress every night.
2) pointing out that orpik has been terrible since returning
3) Pointing out that we desperately need to up grade the 3rd line wingers ASAP because of the extra strain its placing on our top guys.
4) Pointing out that Kunitz could help team Canada on the kill (granted exaggerated)
5)spelling errors while typing on my phone. (careless)

Problem is all five points are true, including my carelessness to detail in dealing with this most highly amusing of situations. So what are you going to do?? call me another name? lol Because all you ve done is make cheap shots and personal attacks! Are you a straw man or is there some substance?

You think shero needs to make a move now when with a healthy team the 3rd line could be Bennett-sutter-megna/jokinen. The team is 17 points ahead in their division, yet shero needs to press the panic button and make a move... There is absolutely no sense in that

You also think despres should play over orpik, but I won't go into how idiotic that is

Seeing how you just started using proper grammar you can't argue that you are using substance. Any substance that you claim in your point is ignored by the fact that you are using teenage shorthand. Quote Ad hominem all you want, but the fact that you are not grasping is that no matter how concise your point is it is ignored when you type like this:

"Kunitz iz gr8t... He is better than u at hockey... LOL..."

Have you not seen Bennett before the injury? Kid was forechecking, hitting, and had a very underrated shot.

For the third time I don't think he should play over Orpik , I think he should play ... Very difficult to reason with someone that keeps misrepresenting your position

I find it hilarious we are discussing defense so intently. When, frankly it's offense where are lean. Shero's greatest strength acquiring capable defensemen is also his greatest weakness. With all the injuries that weakness is exposed, namely we lack forwards. Period. I appreciate all the great defensemen but not being left so freaking short of decent forwards. There needs to be a balance and if there isn't we need to question Shero's judgment, IMO.

You said despres deserves top 4 minutes so whose spot does he take? Even with a healthy team, he still won't be a top 6 guy with nisk and maatta

I said I think he s capable of being a top 4 d man and that he should dress every night because he is one of our best 6 dmen. That's on this page. Martin is still out. Call me an idiot, make fun and disagree but please atleast bash me for what I'm saying.

- drummer829

Agreed when Martin is back:
Martin Orpik
Letang scuds
Maata nisk

But despres should have dressed most of the other games over engo. That was my point
As far as forwards, even if Bennett plays with Sid, megna plays with Malkin and jokinen plays with sutter were still one forward short on that third line.

Shero should look into acquiring David Jones. He's a big, fast gritty foward that could easily put up 25 goals on our team.

Engo hasn't been dressing as a defenseman for the most part of this season, and Despres hasn't been better than Bortuzzo in the games that he has played. Bortuzzo brings a nastiness that Despres doesn't have.
