Can't wait until JJ returns and Gauthier is gone.
He played terrible on the penalty kill.

anthony,

This comment from you is the proper way to express an opinion. We all know that you hate Lombardi and Murray, but when you constantly throw out your childish names, you are being disrespectful in a personal way. That angers people enough to respond with disrespect to you. By the way, before Coach Murray was hired, what was your outlook for the team? Given the fact that Lombardi assembled it. Please be honest.

Here's the problem with Matt Greene.

Go run yourself out of position to throw a meaningless check when you're allowing 2 other forwards direct access to the front of the net. Try to race back to the front of the net to cover the guy you left alone there. When you get there, take up a horrible position and don't control the attacking forwards stick. Sit there and watch as the forward gets off one or two or three whacks at the puck and then hear the alarm as the red light comes on to signal a goal... what does that cost per season? 3 million.
