You're expecting Kovalev to propel us to the playoffs?Only the top 4 or 5 are, since a team is only allowed to move up or down 4 or 5 places I believe.
Any pick in the top 14 is a "lottery" pick....
Did you read the article FV? I find you comment a little uhmm, cold hearted.I'm pretty sure you're thinking this is a serious matter because its a serious matter.
It's one thing to make a joke and let it go, it's another to be constantly bombarded by comments clearly coming from a moron, in an authoritive position and has an impact on ones career.
And seriously,
Then again, Maybe it's because Bailey was an Ottawa 67 and was a key part of things before getting drafted that has me thinking this is a serious matter.
I wonder if Murray was in the hunt for Nabakov. Since the Islanders are lower than us, they would have gotten him over us anyways, but I betcha Murray tried!Murray addressed this in his press conference (yesterday?). He did not make a claim. I believe he said he spoke with the Nabokov group and asked if Nabokov would be willing to come to Ottawa and decided based on that not to claim him. A smart move to ask ahead of time I think.
Jackman is about 10-12 min per game.Carkner plays 15:49 a game, Engellend plays 12:59. That's an extra 3 minutes per night for Carkner.
Matt Hendricks is about 12-13min a game.
Engelland is 14 min
Id say Carks is in the mix, nothing special from an ice time perspective now that i checked the stats.
He's probably the ONLY guy..Well you've got guys like Chara who play 25 minutes a night and are tough as nails, but aren't necessarily labeled as 'enforcers'.
However, I was just on hockeyfights.com though and there is a Carkner v. Paille fight. Carkner lost that fight so I'm not sure what to think.That's only because Paille landed a couple cheap shots after the refs stepped in.
If you wanna compare him against a bunch of underperforming players, go for it.You used the word 'here', so I think I'm allowed to compare him to the other players who are 'here'.
Looks like Locke is going to be called up later this week. Guess whoever said, "Let's just bring up all the Binghamton Senators" may be right.Cheechoo's starting alongside Locke for those who're wondering what he's doing.Oh what the hell.
BTW: Locke and Butler have made the AHL All Star team. Locke is a starter. Cue Ottawa to call them both up so neither can play.
I would have to say the benching has helped him out. He still has a lot more to prove though before I consider him a "Real solid" d man. -11 doesn't cut it here. I see a very talented quick d man thats learning to play d in the nhl. He can take a shot, but what really saves him is his vision. He seems to be able to pick up on the headhunters and hide very well.Here, on this team, -11 isn't so bad. He's in the top half of our defensemen for +/-
To be fair, he's been handling the physical play quite well this year. He often gets pummeled in the corners and he still goes back to retrieve the puck the next time.I completely agree. He's looked read solid defensively the past few weeks. He seems to have a way of stripping a puck carrier without necessarily having to drive them into the boards.
