    I agree he never truly reached his potential. I also know that hindsight is 20 20, but looking back wouldn't you rather have signed Fil instead of Weiss?

    It's not libel if it was clearly intended to be a joke and not to be taken seriously, one of the most common defenses to it. The Onion is a perfect example.
    And comparing a rape threat to a kid who was just making an innocent joke? Seriously?

    I was at the game tonight... not to take ANYTHING away from his great performance tonight, but 2 of his 3 goals were standard saves for an NHL goalie. Not to mention his 3rd goal was an unscreened slapshot from a step inside the blue line, against a replacement goalie who had never seen the ice as a professional. He needs to continue to find new ways to use his booming shot.

    Also would have been 3 consecutive. He gave up a weak goal about 2 minutes into the game though. Recovered nicely though and made some really nice saves throughout the rest of the game.

    Ddn't expect to see Abby and Cole on the same line. I could see Jurco switching lines with Abby or Cole mid game tommorrow if they haven't generated much offense

    Marchenko has looked solid the same way that most of our defensive prospects look solid when they're brought up: they do they're best to stay out of trouble, don't bring much attention to themselves, and occasionally do something offensively. And of course Marchenko looks a bit better than Oulette because he's right-handed, which gives us a new dimension. But for as much flak LGW gives Smith, he's solidly on a level above all of Oulette, Marchenko, Lashoff, Kindl, and any other defensive prospect we currently have. And Marchenko's right-handedness isn't enough of an advantage for me to trust him over Smith in the playoffs.
    We're essentially upgrading our right-handed defender from someone with no experience, to someone with quite a lot of experience.
    But oh my gosh our defensive depth: Kindl, Lashoff, Oulette, Marchenko, maybe even Sproul all NHL-ready. That's almost a whole defensive team of players we aren't dressing.

    Crosby doesn't beat people up, he wrestles them to the ground and tries to concuss them, then take advantage of their b-holes.
