BUT if the season was to end today, the only 3 things we know so far about Flash is...he couldn't reach tambellini, he couldn't reach Comeau and he's gotten Okposo to underachieve. Sorry folks, until I see something tangible I will continue to ask...who knows more about hockey, Ted Nolan OR the Wangster & Snow? It's a legit Q and it's a Q that's gone unanswered through December 2nd. Btw, the Isles 'looking' more fun to watch, is NOT something tangigible, not even close. Looking more exiting & 2 bucks gets you a subway ride, not the playoffs, not even improvement. I know everybody likes the over speed system.

Most NHL teams have solid backup goalies. If you don't have one, you blame the management. If you do have one, you give credit to the management. Snow and pals thought JoeyMac had the edge to become an NHL goalie and they were right. Right before them the Bruins entertained the same idea, but decided to play it safe and go for a more experienced NHL goalie because at the time they weren't certain their starter was a true #1. Last year the Preds had an inconsistent starting goaltender in Mason, and eventually the backup took over. That's Dan Ellis, a career AHL goalie, the same age as MacDonald with fewer NHL games on his resumé before last year than MacDonald. Gordon didn’t get lucky with MacDonald.

He has been a true teammate and one of the hardest workers in the team. He deserves to stay. As for bloggers who brought up KO's stats: he has been better every game and showes a lot of progress. Just mark my words - he is going to be a NHL star. Are we ready to shut down Ovechkin and Co? If not, we need goals. Lots of them. I don't think keeping Tambs will help. Unless he fights with Brashear and knocks him out (sorry, just dreaming...) I hope Snow and Gordon will find a way to keep Jackman in the lineup.

I agree with most of the anti-Fritz crowd. I want an enforcer who can also do other things. Nystrom, Gillies, Lane, Howatt, et al were valuable players outside of fighting. In the New NHL, and especially with Gordon's coaching style, you have to be able to roll 4 strong lines, and the only way an enforcer fits into that is if he can also skate and put a few shots on net. I'm not anti-enforcer, I'm anti-giving a roster spot to a guy who's in the box for 5 minutes a game and on the ice for 1. That’s the whole point. I agree with most of the anti-Fritz crowd.

Brashear especially is a jerk on the ice. The way he took advantage of 2008 Thrashers first rounder Bognosian is all you need to know.
