I liked Winchester. I think he was effective in his role, and even exceeded expectations when given more responsibility.
I liked him too. He was also one of the few Sharks that played physical.
Yep - I really was impressed with what he brought, and was quite confused when he was being benched or scratched late in the year.
Boyle to the damn Pens? Uh, hell ****ing no.
I expect to see a bounce back year from several guys who had pretty bad seasons last year, Murray, Clowe, Handzeus, etc...
Niemi....I still don't like the guy, I think he has terrible fundamentals, terrible situational awareness, poor puck skills, I could go on and on about what I feel is lacking on his end, but I think it's also apparent that the team looks much more confident and less frantic when Greiss is in net...I just don't think he's a good goalie and I really hope that we can give Stalock or Greiss some real time in net this year.
Coaching? Well I think that was one of the major issues last year, I mean this team barely got into the playoffs...it will be very interesting to see what we get with the new additions to the coaching staff. I'm sick and tired of koala's "believe in the system, stick to the system." line of ********.
