    Jason Garrison so far?

    Numbers aren't everything, you have to watch their play. Ballard actually boxes out the player in front of our goalie and when a shots coming and he knows he can't block it or if the goalie can save it easily, he gets out of the way and lets the goalie take it.

    Ballard is seriously overhyped these days. He got walked around by Stahlberg a few games ago. It was embarassing for any dman. If by boxing out you mean desperatly failing at playing the man while they are taking a shot, then sure... i see him do that a lot. Also his cross crease passes in front of our own net are downright scary. Isn't that a hockey/ soccer basic you learn at a young age. Dont pass the puck/ ball in front of your own net unless your damned sure it wont get picked? He makes me nervous whenever hes out there and does very little offensively aside from hard work and the occaisonal weak shot.

    Garrison is much more of a calming presence for me. Sure points wise hes been lacking, but hes a PP specialist who shoud be on our first unit til they figure out how to get him more shots. I know you have to earn your time on this team, but with the cannon he has theres no reason for him not to have more time. Newell Brown needs to figure his sheet out and get him the puck with space. Other teams seem to be able to get their point men the puck, yet I havent seen Garrison with too many oppurtunities to display his one time rocket.
