Huskins is better than Beauchemin

No, Huskins and Schneider are pretty good together. Niedermayer needs to cover for Beauchemin's brain dead play as of late.

Explain because I seem to think that he has been decent of late because how bad can you be with Scott as your partner.

His shot percentage on the season is less than 2%, he's had more turnovers than a baker and I haven't seen him hit someone since last year.

I don't know what happened to him but I just hope he steps it up for the playoffs.

i have been hinting at this for a whilein the hope that beauch could prov me wrong. he has been as bad as possible playing with scott i think...


there is still the playoffs beauch! hopefully your like the other nied andpick it up come april. i forget easily come playoff time.

Maybe Burke knew of this and that's why he went and spent something on MAB? Funny, but man, Burke does have some odd intuition.

beauch has been off this season but there is no way huskins is better.

well Schnieder to has had some costly turnovers in recent games as well..

Oh dear God, if MAB is supposed to be our Beauchemin fallback plan, we are all doomed.

I think, horrendous play on his part aside, Beauchemin's biggest struggle has been his consistency. He has nights where you don't notice him out there (ideal, since he's not making mistakes) and then nights where he has two or three brutal sequences where he gives the puck away, is a mile out of position, or takes a stupid penalty. We fell in love with him because of his ability to eat up minutes and not make costly errors (and chip in with the odd goal). He's had games close to that this season, just not enough of them to make up for the bad games he's had.

If he gets back to basics and stops trying to live up to the hype that the rest of the league has created for him (i.e. "the forgotten man on Anaheim's D who is really amazing but nobody appreciates it"), he'll be fine. He'd just be better off never carrying the puck within five feet of our goal-crease ever again. Ever.

Seems after he had his jaw broken, he's backed down some.

Not sure I agree or not, Huskins is a better skater and more (for lack of a better term) offensive, Beauch is better at the check, and hitting when he wants to, harder shot.

If we could meld the two of them together, he/they/it would b awesome.

As to the topic... Huskins has been better at his role this year than Beauchemin has at his role. But there's no question who gets the harder assignments and who I'd want defending a lead when time's almost up.

Scotty and Pronger? :sarcasm:

Beauchemin has had so many close calls near Giguere's net this season that the only lead I'd want him to protect in a crucial game would have to be at least three goals. Hopefully he turns it around, because we need all the help we can get to repeat... I just don't want to see a Chris Phillips/Ray Emery type play happen because Carlyle trusts him implicitly based on prior performance.
