  1. Put Ryder with Joe Thorton and you might just have another 50 goal scorer in the league. :)

    I also think people are being pretty hard on Ribs. He stuggled at times, but so did every player on the team. He makes a third of what Koivu does and his point totals were well in line for a decent 2nd line center. Sure, we could get a better second line center (for more money), but the same could be said for our first line center. :)

    If we are judging based on expectations, Ribs is at least a C. I also think his game improved immensely with Guy and Gainey behind the bench, which is a very good sign, imo.

  2. That goal set a new career high in points for Souray at 36.

    Pretty good for a year marred with off-ice problems.

    Agreed.. Souray has really come around and is playing well. At the start of the season some people wanted him dumped for a bag of pucks. Just goes to show its a long season and everyone can have a slump.

    Good.. Neil has been warned several times by the ref, about time they sent him to the box for it.

  3. The Ribeiro line gets hemmed in for minutes at a time, since the line was put togehter, with Murray or Bulis. It's ridiculous. I've notice it consistently 3 or 4 times a game over the past 2 weeks

    Thats funny, most of the time I have noticed them putting the most offensive pressure on. While they are hardly our defensive line, they have been playing plus hockey the last 15 games...

    All lines get hemmed in from time to time. Right after I commented on the Koivu line, our third line spent their shift hemmed in too. I think is has more to do with Ottawa putting more effort in then any of the lines, Ribs line included.

    They all better step it up in the 2nd and start winning those battles for the puck.. or this is a repeat of the NJ game. :(
