Would it serve us any purpose to take those two off the ice tho? If its Rinaldo and he gets a guy off the ice with him its another story. Just a dumb move by Simmonds.
- hereticpride


I disagree completely. Simmonds does the same song and dance every game. He's doing nothing more then lining up at the red line. The guy with the red ass is the guy who is proving to be weaker because he can't stand his group against Simmonds.

He's performing like the player they thought they were getting when they added AMac.

Just have to love it. Two different players, and skill sets.

Heck Forsberg at 41 with 2 bad feet is still an upgrade over VLC, Umberger, VDV, Rinaldo and Bellemare

He looked done in pre-season. He's been solid so far. Think he gets a bit overrated because after the pre-season expectations were so low.

After a couple years in Edmonton, I can completely understand why it might take him a preseason to re-learn how to play defense again.

Let's see...

- Playing (well) against the other team's top lines, check.
- Leading the team in blocks by a country mile, check.
- Very mobile, check.
- Efficient puck-moving, check.

yeah, i hear that, but honestly, he's done a nice job. hard to complain about a scrap heap veteran like that, especially given the entire situation.

I agree with you. It was a flat out dive, and horrendous job of officiating. You take both of them on that.

Yeah, he's been good but I don't think he yeilds much more than a late 2nd rounder, if that.

I'd be ecstatic with a third. Mike Weaver was solid, cost Montreal a 5th at the TDL last season

I liked him a lot in Minnesota. Edmonton ruined him. That team is just, wow. I don't even know how to begin to fix that clusterfrank of a team.

I have no complaints with Schultz. Solid 3rd pair defenseman.
