    I was just gonna post this. Thanks Ken. I wish they'd stop f@%@ with Kovalev's line. No wonder his output isn't what it could be. Every season it is the same thing. I suspect Pleks will do alright there, but who knows.

    I'm worried about Price's upcoming performance against the bandwagon tonight.

    Good news though, Friday I should have RDS again! Horrah for digital cable suddenly being available for me.

    Dandenault is playing on the checking line....and Streit is on D. This is surprising seeing as Streit was impressive playing forward last season.
    I don't have too much faith in Dandy, but at least he did get the first goal against Toskola.

    What do you think of Hamrlik? Getting 2-3 mil per season more than he's worth?

    4 years at 4.5 or 5 million a season. He's got 4 or 5 All-Star games under his belt and is predicted to end the season at +41.
    I find he has no presence though - not doing anything glaringly wrong, but not wowing anyone...

    Well just as long as he takes care of his own end and pops in 5 to 10 goals, id be happy if Kubina or McCabe came close to even plus 20, defense is expensive.

    He looks like he's tripping all over the place when he's moving, it's painful.
    Even worse is he's on the top line!

    Currently it is Hamrlik, not because I think he's bad, but because I think he's not worth his inflated salary. Kovalev is probably my biggest love/hate Hab. The guy has a magnetic stick and can carry the puck around almost anyone in the league, but he can't aim below the crossbar....even from the edge of the crease...

    I don't really hate any players, but Bouillion, Dandenault, Murray and (until he was cut, ahhhh) Lapierre we can do without. I only mention Lapierre cause it was sweet relief to see him sent to the AHL.

    Ryder can be quite annoying at times too because of foolish mistakes on the ice, not to mention his yearly arbitration visits.

    Ryder seems to be like Kovalev, he seems one day to be no where to found, then the next game he is like Wayne or Mario, well against the leafs i've noticed this.

    It's just that he makes weird mistakes randomly, when you wouldn't think he would. It is hard to stay mad at him when he scores a good deal though...

    Hahahaha, look for line shuffling, and the biggest change 'is the scratching of Guilliame Latendresse'. So the line shuffling is nothing.

    Stop f@#$% with every line except for Koivu's. Put Kovalev on the wing and drop Ryder to the second line. Fak fak fak, what a year this is gonna be...
