He's been better than expected but he's still Bailey and plays accordingly for the most part.

We'll see what happens. Maybe he'll disappear like he's done in the past or maybe he's paying for a new contract. There is also a chance that the new coaching staff lit a fire under his butt. Who knows, but he's looked better for the first 8 games.

No last year he was playing with JT. BTW JT's numbers were lower than they were in previous seasons.

Do you think his numbers started dropping when he started getting PK time? Is there a correlation There? Is he playing more minutes overall than he was 2 seasons ago? Or is he playing the same and losing offensive minutes because of the added PK time? Just a thought and I'm too lazy to look it up

And they were higher 2 years prior when it was the same BLT line. What's your point?

It's a very valid point.

My point is JT brought Bailey's numbers up and Bailey brought JT's numbers down.

Maybe JT's numbers have to do with his offensive zone time which was favored under Capuano? JT's game is based on how much time he spends within ten feet of the net where he is awesome. If he double shifts on the fourth line and grinds down low may drive his numbers up.

I was giving Bailey credit and I'm still catching poop from Bailey fan-boys.

Me too. It's a good theory, but I have no idea if it's true. I do wonder why he's still on the PK.

Or maybe we can just say JT stunk last year. It's not difficult to say it. He had more points per 60 min 5 on 5 than the Captain last year. If the line worked so well TWICE, this time with JT falling though, why can't we simply just hold JT accountable?

First, I was mocking you and your ridiculous challenge. Second, I never said we would be playing hockey. I just named the place. The challenge could have been who could drink the most shots, who could do the most pushups, or even who could do the best needlepoint.

Oh wait! Frozen!
