I'm growing weary of the same mistakes being made repeatedly....they aren't learning from them. Power should have never left the front to go after a player behind the line. Whichever coach who is responsible for our defense is not getting the job done. It's pee-wee hockey basics.

Power and Joki letting the Blue Jacket mosey right up the slot to shoot....our defense is really out to lunch tonight.

The boys need to play like this is the 3rd period....I'd like to see a little more desperation.

Ugh frustrating...is there nobody in Rochester who can be more effective than Bryson? I'm not talking Pilut either.

SHOOT THE PUCK!

Mr. Anderson is NOT the one tonight.

Great possession time, but they are passing up too many good shooting angles.

"The crowd activates"......what the heck is that supposed to mean (the announcer trying to be clever)?!?! Why not just say the crowd liked Vinny's hit.

While I agree with you that we need more tougher defensive minded forwards, I do feel that Bryson is simply bad. He's a minus-18 with no other defenseman even close (Boosh is -1 I believe, Clague is an even 0 +/-. Plus minus can be misleading sometimes, but I don't think it is here with respect to Bryson. Granted Stillman is a minus as well, but he's not alone on the Canucks. Therefore, I maintain hope he can be an improvement vs. Bryson.

Something maybe a bit interesting....his dad Cory Stillman is an asst. coach with the COYOTES! Maybe a move to get him on his dad's team?!?! Anyway, some fight night links:

I'd feel a wee bit better if he was a right hand shot.

I wish, but I've been disappointed too many trade deadlines...I am more inclined to believe GMKA sticks to his guns.

Next up, the Blue Jackets....who happen to be leading the Wild 2-0 after 2 periods. Really important not to look past any opponent.

Black uni's get the job done again!!!

Ugh...wish the Sabres would stay put and play their positions vs. following the puck too much. Game may still tighten up

Black uni's do their magic again....That's 6 (and maybe more)!

Great 5th goal. Too bad Mitts won't get a helper on that but nice carry into the zone.

Already claimed by the Blues

Could this also potentially work the opposite way....lower expectations now (miss playoffs), so why overpay for another player vs. stay the course?

I personally think he's the "glue" that holds that line together with TNT and Skinner.

Montour doing his Derek Roy imitation.

Totally absurd (bad officiating)....third game in a row now too!

Pens put Kapanen on waivers.....any interest? Contract thru next season I believe.

Boosh's aggression on the PK tonight has to be something the coach's must consider going forward as a strategy.

Listening to the replay, Rob Ray's reaction is great!
