Yeah I think we have had 2 good games from Schaller but I frankly every other game has been weak 

 

what is disappointing is here is in a defensive role now yet he is failing defensively and the dumb penalties taken don’t help 

 

Agreed, he has had a couple good games...but you can see his limitations.

As much as a lot  of people are down on Loui, are we really better with him out and Schaller in?

 

Loui brings a better defensive game and more offensive potential. We are paying him anyway. May as well play him, can’t be as bad as Schaller has been 

Better with both out and guadette in or even bear

Other than his shoot-out goal this year, Leivo has been a non factor in the top 9. He played above his pay grade initially with us but has since crashed back down to earth. He has no right being on the powerplay or playing in ot or being in the top 9. 

 

let’s face it, he has been a marginal nhl guy his whole career. I think we need to move on from him, trade him for a pick and let’s insert some more talent in our roster 

 

we are getting to be a very good team so we need to deal with the few weaknesses we have in our roster

Ahh, so you really like Loui after all. :bigblush:

LE is an enigma....

He was brought in to score, but he can't score....so they decide to make him a defensive forward and PK specialist, which he is okay doing.

 

However, he is paid way too much to be a defensive forward....don't know if enigma is the best word to describe LE.

Skilled players, when given opportunity, prove to be very good PK guys too.  Baer would be a better PK guy than Schaller.  

I remember that. After Burrows and Hansen were traded, I seem to recall Willie making Baer/Horvat a PK pairing. Effective too.

Feels like the NHL has a crystal ball when making the schedule. They must have known we would go on a win streak after Bo. Was named captain so theh give us back to back early morning games. 

 

That's just jokes but man these early games leave a lot to be desired from the team. I know they are pro's but I can't blame them for sluggish games when I can't even see straight until i have had 3 coffees and its noon.

I hope this one they have a little more jump but I am not expecting much.

Ohhhhhh I've seen enough of Loui to say he CAN be as bad as Schaller... .and Schaller is playing hard these days for us!!
