I like watching Eller's like develop. They've started drawing much better opposition match ups, and game after game you can see the adjustments and the increase in effort level. Yesterday they were really good and created most shifts, and tonight it continues.

And now a goal for GioStyle. Nice!

Nope, it was Robidas - visions of his Hab days. LOL


Wow, everyone on DD's line doing really well! (With the notable exception of DD who lost the puck, twice.)

And at one point on the season, it ain't like he's a massive asset on the scoresheet either.

I'm not excusing his play, only giving perspective, but he isn't the only slow starter in the league being paid relatively well.

Brad Marchand (BOS) three points, -1 in 10 games. $4.5M per season

Jordan Staal (CAR) three points, -3 in 12 games, $6M per season

Shawn Horcoff (DAL) three points, -4 in 11 games, $5.5M per season

Stephen Weiss (DET) two points, -5 in 12 games, $4.9M per season

Kris Versteeg (FLA) five points, -4 in 12 games, $4.4M per season

Dany Heatley (MIN) three points in 13 games, $7.5M per season

Ryane Clowe (NJ) one point in six games, -5, $4.85M per season

Pretty much everyone on the Philadelphia Flyers (highest scorer has six points)

Chris Stewart (STL) two points, -2 in nine games, $4.1M per season

Brooks Laich (WAS) two points, -7 in 12 games, $4.5M per season

Again, just trying to show how we're not the only team with a non performing player. Plus our unperforming player makes a lot less than some of these guys (Imagine having to deal with Heatley).

He sure did. Diaz should study the footage closely. Notice how at no point in time did Markov dive at the puck carrier.

He left the shot and positioned himself in such a position as to be able to intercept both the main cross-ice pass, but also potentially the drop pass. It was really brilliant.

No rationalizing about DD!

You just summed up what's wrong with my pool teams, half of your list are my guys. Ugh.

Leblanc looked good that period and I think Therrien felt the same way. He had more TOI than Gallagher, Plekanec, and Galchenyuk.

The problem there is that he had two less shifts. I like that he's looking better, but he needs to make sure he's playing the team concept.

Bournival given the goal.
