I'm looking forward to Zednik stepping up and showing the coach that he deserves back on the #1 line.
...and it would be great to see some chemistry develop between Pleks and Bonk! I think that a bit more offense from this line would really add balance across all lines.....although Higgins and Begin deserve more icetime than regular 4th liners!
Should be a good one.
Is And-o alone in thinking that it might be best to sit Theo out this one???
No AndO is not alone, I was thinking the same thing. Hasek is out but the back up goalie they are using is the same one that beat us last time. I think Danis would be a great move. First the Habs will try to help him a bit more defensively than the would if it was Theo. And you need to play defensively against the high flying sens. (watching penalties of course) This is because they are not sure how he would be under pressure from Ottawa. I think Danis would be exicted to play and I also think he would have a stellar performance. After all, he wants to remain on the team as well. Although he would be hard pressed when our #2 comes back in December. Any way I say i agree w/Ando and play Danis and lets do what the Caines did they other night Beat the Sens.
Guys it is like this. Like most people, I feel that Theo has alot of improving to do. But, we have to make a commitment to a number one goalie and BG did that by signing Theo. Like it or not, that is our commitment. Ottawa has the best team in the league. You have to put your number one goalie in. Theo needs to step it up and this will be the night. Look for Danis to play one of the 2 Rangers games, probably Saturday at home. But you do not throw the kid in against the Sens. You go with your stud.
