Next game - Who should sit/rest? Out of these losers?
Simple question. Not all of them can play, since they lose all the time. Lose in the NHL. Wow. Horrible team right now.
I think Komasarek should sit, not play at all I mean. Finger in. Komisarek is a liabilty, he is not smart at all. One of the worst players this season so far.
Also Blake should rest at least one game, even more. Bring in Hagman.
Then uh, Wallin is not doing any good for the team, he doesn't play great offensively and was totally lost on that PK-unit. He also made one horrible pass in his own end. Bring in Stajan.
Ponikarovsky should rest too, but I don't think next game. Maybe later. He played a horrid game tonight. Taking that first real vet penalty and then they scored. Great example.
Wallin is like Ron Wilson. Soft.
Ron Wilson should not play ether, not play the game. As soon as he is gone, the better. And he will get fired this season. Not doing thangs well enough. Not understanding penalty killing at all for example. Not understanding forechecking at all. Hitting department...? Wow. Avs played harder. Why=? Good question.

Yes, Wilson should be sent to the press box and a call up should manage the bench.
Maybe they could borrow Hunter from London for a couple games and keep Wilson in the press box.
Oh, maybe not. How would Stempniak and Komi be guaranteed spots without an American coaching with regards to the Olympics in charge?
We don't want any American players losing confidence going into the Olympics do we?

haha i laughed my ass off when i read that great post... and my exact thoughts... i never posted it but it seems since burke and wilson took over that there was a favortism to american players... i mean Jeff hamilton come on
my guess is nobody. because hes sending bozak back down, no reason to bench anyone. maybe switch out some players for Wayne off and on. but i doubt anybody sits.
can we switch teams with Washington? We can give them MLSE's profits while we have a good team with fair ticket prices..I hear Washington likes Capitalism
Please get rid of or bench - these are my total loser's list:
Stempniak - no finish. has had the most chances but obviously has no skill.
Wallin. - not an nhl player. too slow.
Mitchell. -not an nhl player.
Grabo *i deke team to back of net and leave puck behinds*bench him.
Mayers. -not really..an nhl player.
Poni - bench him. (don't get rid..well maybe!)
Schenn - bench him - no longer looks like an nhl player.
Toskala - not really an nhl player.
Komisarek was the worst player on the ice by a mile, his name has to be included. Stupid penalties, stupid mistakes, headbutting pucks in his own net, etc. etc.
At the very least Poni. If only for that moronic holding penalty he took that lead to the first goal. I mean what the heck was he doing? Trying to give the guy a hug? I'd also bench Komisarek for the stupid penalties he's taken recently.
Though unless Stajan scores a hatrick next game hard to say if benching is going to solve anything. This group needs a lucky break. Play some good hockey in the first period, take a stupid penalty, get scored on and the wheels fall off.
Keep the same lineup and increase the top four D ice time dramatically. Change to an extremely conservative defensive system to keep the score relatively close and give us a chance to win.
Please sit that gawd awful Jason Blake. He's the worst defensive player on the team (no small accomplishment on this lot). He brings little offensively, despite his ice time and PP duty. No forcheck, no backcheck, no physical presense. The only person he knocks down is himself.
Seeing Tucker last night reminded me of what a disaster this guy's signing has been for the team.
JFJ signs Blake to a multi-year $4M/per contract, and suddenly Tucker's ice time goes down, his spot on the PP is taken....after all, we have to play the guy with the big contract. Can't make the GM look bad, can't we. Sound familiar? Signing Blake was the beginning of the end of Tucker in a Leaf uniform.
We essentially "traded" Tucker, a fearless player who gave everything he had every shift, a guy who stood up for his teammates, a guy who hit, fought and scored, for this absolutely useless, rotting turd of a player.
If I was running this team, he'd be riding the buses in the minors.
