Mittlestat is not an All Star. His stats look relatively good because of injuries and underperforming by his teammates. But there are plenty of other NHLers more deserving.

KA giving him a graceful excuse to retire.

Benson got the Savoie treatment; one bad play and they’re benched. 🙄

I thought they’d put him in for Olofsson to give them some size.

I wouldn’t want to trade Peterka, Quinn, Benson, Tuch, or Levi. I wish they’d go beyond a fringe trade and offer up Mittelstadt for a veteran with some grit and playoff experience.

Granato will say, “We’re a young team. We have to learn to play a complete game. We’re going to take some lessons from this game. I liked the compete in the 3rd period. We have to build on it.”

Power needs to be sat next game. He’s been playing clueless.

They should have done it a month ago. He was just sitting in Buffalo while Rochester needed D help due to injuries.

It’s possible that too many of the younger players have been given big long-term contracts before they’ve proven they can maintain the level of play that’s expected. They may have lost that hunger to excel, combined with some veterans who are providing diminishing returns.

They’re like the girl who repeatedly rejects you, but then flirts enough to give you hope.

First shift he’ll get checked by a big Bruin and go down.

This likely means they’ll send Rosen back down so he can play top line minutes like he should instead of being stuck in the bottom six.

The problem isn’t Granato as much as it is Adams. The roster he’s been given is inadequate to compete and that’s on Adams for not acquiring a veteran goalie, a top 4 D, and competitive bottom 6 forwards. Instead he resigned Okposo, Girgs, and Jost, and signed Clifton and E Johnson.

Granato will say he liked their compete in the 3rd and it’s something to build on (before they get their ***** handed to them in Boston). Another excuse to rinse and repeat.

I am Andrew Peters

Coaching my son’s peewee hockey team as we won the league championship 20 years ago. All the kids celebrated like they won the Stanley Cup. As a fan, game 7 AHL playoff game between Rochester and Syracuse. Game was a sellout, and in overtime the Amerks won with Ryan Miller in net.

But those are only the ones who answered the census.

He was in NYC tonight and was asking questions in the locker room after the game.

He is, but he’s showing his age.
