Seriously??


I am not a credit whore, but come on!!!!!!!!!!

Jagr and Sutter I discussed in here months before RW, MONTHS (I never use caps)


Well maybe I am just a little.

I was talking about someone's opinion I respect.







Kidding.

I've completely change my opinion on Sutter. I absolutely agree he is a BIG part of their recent slump. The next board battle he wins will be his first....

Barts says accurate. I'm 1 for 3. That wins me a batting title!

Yes, he is scratched again. Below are some tweets from Dejan

Bennett still on ice here. He'll be scratched again.

Johnston wants Bennett to spend extra time with Tocchet, Guerin working on 'compete level,' battles on boards. 'He's an important player.'


Finally gotten to bottom of this Bennett thing. That will be on site soon, as well.

See, this I am OK with. Scratching a player in order to help him develop & re-focus his game, fine by me. Most players aren't finished products & expecting them to be is counter productive. Work with him & as long as he is willing to put in the work, he'll come out the other side a better player.

Overall, stuff like this just feels very different from when Despres was scratched & sent down to WBS without a second thought or explanation.

Bennett and Harrington scratches. Just heard a MJ clip saying Hoff and Comeau are close. Not tonight, but close.
- madmike71


Good to hear about Comeau and Ehrhoff. No need to rush Comeau back w/ the Penguins playing a Western Conf. team tonight.

Spend time w/Guerin and Tocchet?

Tocchet: "OK Beau, Billy G and I are hear to teach you how not to be such a p*ssy."

BB: "OK guys got it. Lets go."

Guerin: "OK, lets start with some corner work. Go get this puck." Guerin flips the puck in the corner. BB goes after it. Tocchet nudges him lightly into the boards. BB turtles to the ice in pain.

Tocchet: "Jesus christ he's hurt again...."

Yup. Before he would be sent down and hopefully he would learn somehow on his own. The new staff is actually working with him step by step through it all. I saw another tweet earlier about how Beau was on the ice or in the weight room well after everyone already left. He will come back hungry.

I agree Bennett has the ability to be a top 6, he is the only young forward we have with such high potential.

The injury bug screwed that up, and it looks like permanently.

I think he is going to NJ

LOL ... your credibility is lost with your comment Bennett has the ability to be a top six forward. He sucks.

No, he is right. He is not a top 6 right now, but he is working towards it. I had no problem trading him for Kane as we still get a young forward back. Now that is out of the question and with his scratches cleared up, we aren't giving up on him.
