And Toronto with 8 more goals, sheesh...

If they somehow found a way to cash in some of their assets for a legit Top 4 horse, a real one, i think they would score enough to win it all

I am not joking -- their THIRD LINE is JVR-Bozak-Marner or Marleau-Kadri-Komarov -- just crazy offensive depth

You have to add Voracek to the bad list. I know he had an assist that seems to negate everything else he did to fans, but his forced passes created so many chances for Anaheim tonight.

I was dogging him all night, but he's an enigma. I should have put him in the okay list with an explanation:

Okay (addition)
Voracek- yeah, he makes some wonky decisions out there about passing and shooting, but he still is force with speed coming down the wing and creates chances. He did both tonight. He's in the okays, but he's not one of those "good okays" of the night like AMac or the 4th line

I'm confident we can swap AMac for a low 1st

Been a fan of Coots since day one. To come in and play D like that from the get go. Drive play while playing with slugs. Great passer. Now he has wings. Gonna love this.

People should be in hockey jail for who he had to carry around some of these years

I agree. He was bad tonight. I am glad for the assist because obviously points are good, but man. He was not good tonight. That's just the honest truth

Lots of goods compared to bads and uglies. Overall, they played well. This is another game where they win 7/10 times if they play like this, like the Kings game. Team is not poor, even though we get annoyed at some guys in the lineup in favor of younger more skilled guys scratched/in the A.

They're upgraded from last year right now (so long as they continue to get league average goaltending...and they're getting better than league average in these early stages), and they could get better with a couple player shuffles. I like

- Giroux_Is_God


Agreed. They are so close to being truly dangerous

You'd think his arms would be stronger at least.

They had 5 kids playing tonight that had a total of 37 games in the NHL last year. Not counting TK and Provey .
They are getting younger and faster and in a hurry. 2 more to come this year?

Like I said, for all I female doged about him tonight, for every bizarre Ozone decision he makes, he'll power through the neutral zone with the puck, or win a puck battle with a nice play or 2nd chance, or drive the net to create some semblance of a chance. Frustrating to say the least. If only he would just shoot and pass the puck when appropriate

He's a legend. I live in Fla, was at the game last year where he past Mess for second on the all time points list. Nice night. Dude can still play, just not here.

I know Hextall won't fast-track it with a trade for future assets -- he has beaten that hope out of me with his consistent patience -- but they are so close

I haven't identified anyone yet because the season just started, but if they can get Weise or Flip out of the lineup and actually got legit NHL production in there via a trade...there is something there with this team

Bill called his first win a "workman like victory" tonight was the same. No bad ones, no high lite reels. Nice job.
Nuevy played well enough to win last game. I think Quick stole that one.
