Plot is a rookie doing fine on the 4th line. Leave him alone!

Send kuni and Perron out for skinner and drouin

If we could get those 2 for them sure but I don;t think Perron is playing that bad and Kunitz is just old and can't do it any more. But there is no lack of effort and either could score by accident and any moment. Perron couldn't do enough for this board, once it picks a target it is relentless.

If I was a good GM I would be sending Lovejoy, Plotnikov, and Porter on a one way ticket anywhere but here. You have Clendening, Warsovsky and Pouliot who are a million times better in every aspect than lovejoy, time to cut bait with that bum.

Lovejoy is a FA though. No one will want a 7th dman

Lovejoy isn't great but he's been serviceable. I don't get your infatuation with dumping him. I've seen almost nothing from Clendening, WarSOFsky is a joke and Pouliot, from all reports, isn't ready. Sully watched him in WB, if he thought he was ready, you know he'd be up here.

Can MAF steal us a point or two?!

His teammates seem willing to let him try.

He sure as heck trying.

Weak penalty call!!!

Please let that be the straw that gets Perron off the top line.

HOw has Lovejoy been serviceable? When he constantly loses his assignment and it leads to goals? When he can't hit the ocean from the beach with a shot? When he gets roughed up by anyone he goes into the corner with? At least Cleds and Wars can be a threat in the offensive zone and can outskate Lovejoy any day.

Poulit has 18 points in 32 games and is +15 as a dman, those are good sats in any league. Pouliot is still being punished for getting drunk on his birthday and it's a joke at this point.

Cullen had to go first and I think Hornquist has supplanted him for now. I think Perron gets one tonight, have a feeling. He's is definitely engaged.

I hope Sully tears them a new bumhole in the intermission. Unacceptable effort. Can't believe they are tied.

Thank god Sullivan rode Fleury in the 2nd of a back to back for this one, Zatkoff in net tonight would have been messy.

Agree!! Time to get rid of Zatkoff, it's not like we don't have in house options. Murray is proving to be too talented to play in the AHL.

Murray needs more reps than he will get as the backup. But yeah, his numbers are tremendous now in quite a few games in the AHL.

We give this team too much respect. The first time someone gets in Kanes face he leaves his position to go throw a late hit. Play Keith hard and he may slash you in the face, hes done it before. Everytime the P guy, Kane Towes Keith are on the ice we should be chippy.

We just aren't watching the same players. That's all I got. I see nothing in Clendening or Warsofsky at this point. I don't love Lovejob, but he's far from the worst player on this team. Like I said earlier, Perron has 2 more goals than Lovejoy and yet you love him.

Agree, for what he is being paid, he is more than adequate. Now, he should be a bottom pairing dman, whether they play him there, thats a whole different story. He should not lose any time to Clend or Wars. I have grown tired myself of talking about Pouliot, he isnt playing in the NHL yet for a reason, Ill just leave it alone at that. I suspect he will be moved at the deadline.

I know jarry is injured but when he comes back Murray playing the bulk of the games is hurting Jarry's development at this point. Murray could reduce MAF's load so he is good to go for the playoffs. Practicing with NHL players might be better for everyone in Murray's case.

Perron has bad puck luck but he has much more impact on the game than Lovejoy does. He's always making something happen.

You've seen nothing from Dinger because he hasn't played!! The first real break out pass from one of our D was his to Philbo Baggins which resulted in a goal??? Give the guy 10-15 games & let him show us.

In saying that this group of throw togethers aren't disintegrating just yet!!

Same refs from last night I assume...unreal how bad these pro refs are.

Kuntiz. Wouldn't have expected anything else.

The Hawks arena DJ loves the band Tool, my favorite!

Even though he has our only goal he has not looked good tonight

How we are tied 1-1 is beyond me. Poor effort ... getting outshot 30-13. Thank God for MAF
