This sucks about Shatty, explains a lot and respect the guy even more for playing through it, this though is another sign to do the right thing and sell

It does quite explain why AV is only seven games over .500 this year. I mean one limp, $6 million defensemen, Mark Staal and Brendan Smith manning the blue line. What f'ing coach can win with that?

Easy $150 on the Rangers last night

Wasn't that easy.

What does it matter if Kampfer is "maxed out?"
He's a 3rd pairing guy, who is playing perfectly well when called upon.
You do realize that every team needs 3 sets of D-men, right? And therefore, every team needs 3rd pairing D-men. And it's kinda nice when those guys can be relied on and don't make several million dollars a season.
ADA is going to get his chance and it has very little to do with Kampfer being on the roster at the same time.

My thinking exactly. Very cheap 6/7 guy

Smith has been better since the scratch, hopefully he’s turning things around

Smith can be better, no doubt.

McD Smith
Skjei Kampfer
Holden ADA

What do u guys think? Switch Kampfer and Smith?

Waive Kampfer, call up Pionk and after the deadline call up Chytil and Andessson in the last two weeks as to not burn a year of the ELC

No he hasn't. He took 2 dumb (frank)ing penalties last night that resulted in goals.

Zucc took 2 penalties last night also, but bc his didn’t result in goals it’s ok?

From last night..." Zuke isn't having a good game."

Not sure what that has to do with Smith

Those penalties were the only reasons Zucc was visible last night.
Need him to straighten himself out.

That's dumb.

Im still not sure how he got the puck over the glass when he was less than a ft away from it. That was impressive

Not going to defend Zuc because his penalties were stupid as well. Zuc is a midget

As for Smith, he is a mental midget.

No no no, we need all 6 defenseman to be soft as a baby’s butt and put up 40+ points a season.
- nyrangers9479

That's 240 points from 6 guys. That'd lead right up to the top of the standings.

Ur saying he isn’t playing well bc he took 2 penalties. His defense and aggressive play that we loved last year seem to be coming back.

His aggressive play is back, his defense is still bad. So playing defensively bad, plus taking 2 dumb penalties doesn't make him playing good now. I hope he does get back to what we saw in the Habs series(and why he was signed), but as of right now, he isn't there.

Don't agree with me. It looks bad..

His last few games since the scratch he’s been better defensively. But of course since I said that now u will all say he’s been terrible. I see what’s going on here.
