http://theahl.com/stars-sign-jason-williams-p169368 It's a 2-way contract, but he is expected to play with them Sunday versus Columbus

The difference is that Ericsson played much better in the AHL, never being a minus player whereas Kindl was never a plus player. Ericsson also made a big impact right off the bat in the playoffs and then had a sophmore slump. Kindl has just kind of looked lost defensively since he turned pro.

Haven't seen Kindl in a long time. Looks like Babs is sitting him.

Now as long as we don't let in the patented Red Wings Defense and Howard loves them late goal let down I will be thinking we are turning this puppy around.

Draper is having his best season in 5 years and looks so excited to be out there. I don't see him up in Detroit for a full year next year, but would love him back on a 2-way as 1st recall for injuries.

He would owe more money than the Islanders

Salei and Kindl are barely touching the ice this period. 2 shifts Kindl 3 Salei half way through. Is it a coincidence we are playing better? I think not.

He can stop a point blank shot from the hardest shooter in the league...but lets in the softies... I'll take that nice save though Howie.

Uh-Oh Bert just went down the tunnel. Also watching Thomas is so frustrating. He looks like a fish out of water and makes you wonder how you are not putting more in the net.

Yup. Its the same concept as the Ducks. When a chippy dirty team doesn't receive the retaliation they expect/desire they try to draw even more by getting dirtier, which allows the more talented team to take over.

Because it was a blatant cheap shot and Hank should have been pissed.

I have been very impressed by Bertuzzi, Ericsson, Cleary and Datsyuk today.

Lets count how many times the Bruins hit a player that is down to prevent them from getting up (definition of interference IMO) After Z goes down awkward its really classy to hit him on the way back up Chara.

Honestly I thought Salei was much worse than Kindl. Well maybe not...Salei was just beat every time he tried to cover a guy where as Kindl didn't know who he was covering. So in retrospect...I agree with your post. Is Bab trying to lost the game?

I have felt that way all year. And WHERE IS THE PENALTY ON THIS! Finally there it is.

Kevin Shattenkirk

It only seems that way because every time they are out there they make an error that results in a scoring chance. So you notice every time they are on the ice.

Yeah me too. They look sloppy out there. Salei and Kindl are not on the right men at the right time at all. Stuart couldn't come back soon enough. Then Kindl goes to the bench. Then when that doesn't solve everything we can then acquire a D-man at the deadline like Dreger suggested and Salei can leave the line-up too.

Salei and Kindl both miss coverage on goal 1. Salei misses coverage on goal 2. Salei and Kindl both miss coverage and Boston almost scores goal 3. I see a growing trend here. I HATE SALEI.

Malkin has a torn ACL/MCL http://twitter.com/#!/DarrenDreger Surgery will be required. My guess is gone for season.

Okay. So the Professional Try Out Contract with the Conneticut Whale doesn't count as playing in another league. I buy that. I just figured since he played for them it would count as playing somewhere this year.

I am curious as to why he doesn't need to go through waivers before he can play.

Ozzie has started skating, and Howie had 45 saves last game. I think we will be okay.
