I only have one question. Are you enjoying yourself?
- MJL

Yes. And I'm typing all this while nude.

Nice win today. Glad to see it! Fully expect an L tomorrow. I am making my annual trip from Lexington, KY to Columbus to see the game. Taking my 7 year old. I've made this trek 5 or 6 times now since moving to Lexington in 2006. Have not seen them win in Columbus yet. Last year was close...lost in a shootout...who knows maybe this is the year to break the streak.

Fun place to watch hockey. I've made the trip twice. The first when Downie got concussed the game before and Vinny returned after a long term back injury. The second was Scott Hartnell's 1000th game ceremony. They have our number there.

I'd trade him tomorrow if I was Hextall. He kind of plays like a wussy too if I'm being honest. I would trade Ghost+1st for Landeskog, and then we can actually get that top 6 scoring LW with grit that this team desperately needs. Ghost is a redundancy anyway with all of our d men. Hate to say it, but he looks like a one year wonder.
- Mononoke

Better toss in Giroux, Simmonds, and Stolarz to seal the deal.

Yeah great let's trade Ghost and then when he goes on to score 40-50 points everyone will commence the whining:

Just like we gave up on Sharp who what we got a bag of sticks...

If we trade him value better come back more then a bag of sticks like matt ellison...
Sure Landeskog-Truba whatever lets not just trade him cause he is fighting sophomore curse...

well it certainly makes him more expendable
- Crimsoninja

I don't think it will effect Hextall's view on him. He's smart enough to know that this is only about a young player struggling, and a normal path of development.

PROVOROV IS THE TRUE NUMBER 1 PP GUY
- Flyers Time

YOUR POINT IS?

one of these young dmen will likely eventually go in exchange for a skilled young forward. I don't think it's out of the question that it could be ghost
- Crimsoninja

You're right and I wouldn't trade him, especially not right now. However once Provorov, Morin, Myers and Sanheim reach their potential or at least become regulars....well, you finish this sentence.

YOUR POINT IS?

Putin's hackers know no bounds.

If Bill is around, I'd love to know if Hextall said anything about why Lyubimov didn't play today.

Its because we all want Ghosty to be Provorov.
Provorov is 19 and already best Russian defenseman ever

Step away from the hash pipe my friend your make as much sense as chinese math...

Hakstol has Corsi number chart flipped and chris Vandervelde is the worst corsi on the team.

Shifting from one heated debate to another, I wanna give some insight on my view of Schenn vs Couturier.

It's pretty clear that because Sean Couturier is a two way center who does his job remarkably well, by comparison Schenn should be traded for anything. Now, I agree with anyone who says Sean Couturier is an outstanding shut down, two way center who can chip in offense who borders between a second line center and third line center. With this said, he only plays center. Since Schenn isn't as responsible defensively, can also chip in offensively and is a damn good power play player, I ask how it isn't an advantage that Schenn can play all three forward spots since Couturier doesn't? Call me crazy but if Coots gets hurt and if Schenn is the better offensive player (while Couturier is the better defensive player), how is it a bad thing that Schenn can step into the center spot in a pinch?

Who else on this team can effectively switch positions at forward?

So much confusion and misinformation about the expansion draft on
twitter...

Some of it coming from professional beat writers like Carchidi.

I would go with just beat writer.

I don't know what games you guys are watching. I thought they picked up their game after the Tampa goal but still holding their heads above water. Tampa is defending well and Tampa's goalie is making the saves look easy.

I'm emphasizing that despite being paid to cover the team he knows less than people who aren't.
