so is 2-6 in the first 8 games a slow start?

MDZ -4
Roo -4
Raffl -4
L. Schenn -5
Voracek -4

Simmonds +2
Grossmann +1
MacDonald +1

Mason .800 SV
- Pixote Andolini

top line was horrid despite G's goal and assist.

Discuss.

i don't like either. i'm willing to be patient with brayden for another season or two, but hopefully it doesn't take that long. luke is just not very good. we got raped in that deal.

I've actually been somewhat pleased with Luke so far. Brayden bores me to tears.
- ThirdEye

I actually thought Luke was turning a corner to be a guy you could trust in your 3rd pair.

I think Brayden Schenn is in over his head, but I want to give him time. His leash as a first line guy was approximately 4 1/2 periods this year.

Schenn -5 that can't be true.
He's a spectacular train wreck. You would think that trade would cause Holmgren to hit the bottle again.

Is it truly desperate if you have the need? There isn't a deal,out there, but if there was, how do you not do something?

No one thinks the six defensemen they have can hold up
- AllInForFlyers

Well, it is desperate if we say trade a 2nd rounder for an older stop gap.. I wonder if there isn't an older UFA on the scrap heap that might help.. if not... Alt I guess.

They aren't a deep team. That is their problem. They have talent.

they don't deserve benson.

- JoeRussomanno

I would keep him, but B Schenn i would move for sure

Let's be honest. We knew this team didn't have a good defense with Kimo and Coburn. Take them 2 out and this is what happens.

Can't stand Luke and although it isn't clicking on the 1st line, can't pull the plug on Brayden being up with G and Jake. Not after 2 games. Their professionals they'll figure it out. I hope.

You're right. She is too awesome.

he's not strong on the puck, certainly not along the wall around the net. right not he's not doing much of anything very well.

he'll got right back to the top line in the next game. berube was trying to mix it up late. no big deal.

They were bad, but gap control was an issue. Yet again.

Watching Habs and Wash... I think the Habs are going to eat us alive Saturday..

Looking at October's sched.. I can't see how they get out of this month with 3 wins.

Brayden seems like an offensive player that would benefit from a player that chews up space. He doesn't skate terribly well. He doesn't own the circle. He seems to be a guy that can find open spaces to score goals, but if he's not on a line where there's a lot of open space, he disappears.
