It is becoming more and more tiresome to read these blogs. And then to come to the comments section only to see a plethora of sycophants, invariably praising the blogs. Very few of you have a clue, but don't be blue, I'll f'kn fill you in.

There is no way Pysyk plays less minutes than Ristolainen. What are you thinking!? Pysyk right now is a much better defenseman than Risto, McCabe or Zadorov. He will definitely play a bigger role with this team next year than Ristolainen. BET IT

Mr. Pachla, do you still have Armia ranked higher than Grigorenko? Armia is trending downward. He did not get going last night. He should be ahead of almost all our other prospects, he is older, has more experience playing against men, he was a higher pick than most. Yet he has done nothing to show any separation from the rest of the bunch. He needs to step it up pretty soon before he starts to be considered a bust.

Why would you play two players(Foligno and Flynn) out of position on the third line when you could play none? Flynn is a RW/C, Foligno is a LW. I don't want to hear any BS about Foligno is a center too. Anyone with any common sense knows he is best suited as a winger with his strengths. You could easily play Flynn at C and Foligno at LW and no one is playing out of position.

Not to bust all your bubbles, however neither Ristolainen nor Reinhart will make the opening night roster, barring any unforseen injuries. I can forgive you all for being all Ga-Ga and hopefully optimistic, but logic and common sense point to a different reality. Our defense will consist of Myers, Gorges, Pysyk, Benoit, Meszaros, Weber and Ruhwedel. BET IT

Here's the real roster

Moulson Ennis Stafford
Hodgson Grigorenko Stewart
Foligno Girgensons Gionta
Larsson Mitchell Flynn
McCormick Kaletta

Gorges Myers
Benoit Pysyk
Meszaros Weber/Ruhwedel

I think the will have a rotation on the forth line depending on opponent, and I am not sure if Weber will get the start or not. Nolan is all about respecting those that have put their time in, so I suspect he will, but I believe Ruhwedel is the better of the two, but no other defenseman on the team brings what Weber brings.
Grigorenko will make the team as our second line center.

The only way Grigorenko makes the opening night roster in blue and gold is if he has a lights out camp and has fully adapted to the game. I don't think that will be remotely close. Murray has already stated this is the time to see what he's made of. Sounds like they will challenge him to prove where he belongs.

I miised the game but some have said he is looking way different from last season. Could be the thing we were anticipating from him. Gonna have to see a few more games.

I still think we are a decent team. The Bears don't look as bad facing the Jets and "Rex Ryan's" defense

- jaumiller


He's actually 3rd in QB Rating, behind Brady and Smith. Smith..he of the 3 TD, 4 INT, and 2 Fumbles has a better QB Rating than Manuel.

EDIT: Looking back at it..."Rating" is higher for Manuel, but the "QBR" is lower. For just "Rating", Manuel is tops in the AFC East.
