I think it’s still viable to keep The Duke and Stazzer on 1 line. They’ve had some sick chemistry (like Foppa/Duke) 2 years ago.

My vote is to move Galiardi and Stewie to the 2nd. At least Stewart.

what’s the reason behind keeping Svats and Duchene together? Svatos has been invisible through 2 games, and there’s been 0 chemistry there…

I like that as well but how about switching Stewart with Jones? I could be wrong but I believe Stewart has more experience on the left side.

I don’t know if putting two power-forward type players with Duchene is a good idea. I’d prefer svats only because he is a goal scorer and boy wonder needs someone to pass to. When he’s not walking through all the the defensemen of course.

But then again I am torn because those two forwards would be great at forechecking and crashing the net and getting rebounds. I am too indecisive to make posts when both possibilities are good.

Budaj didn’t suck at the end of last year – the offense did. His stats were crazy good in that late stretch, but since the team couldn’t score a frackin goal, he got nothing but losses.

I think the goaltending, including Budaj, will be just fine this year. In fact, it might be just the right goalie tandem to carry the team for more than a year. I think Anderson’s unconventional style and communication skills on the ice will be a good influence on Budaj. I also think the defense is playing much better this year, and it looks like the offense might actually be able to score more than 1 goal a game.

i don’t think anyone said you think budaj is a terrible goalie, but it’s easy to read that you don’t think he is very good. using words like “sadly” and phrases like “have always disliked him as a goalie” probably had something to do with that.

i do think that we all have a bit of apprehension about how games will go with boods in the net. last year, he had some really poor showings. he did have some good ones too, though, that give us that hope that he will inspire confidence in the team.

so really, we’re all feeling the same things, or perhaps i’m just reading it that way.

while inflicting a ton of pain. On their players and their fans. With a huge dose of much needed STFU for all of them.

No way, Anderson will never lose, just like raycroft should have been definite #1 last year cause he never lost. Only Budaj loses cause he sucks. It’s the teams fault when Anderson/Raycroft got loses. Insert stupid stat that has no relation to anything to prove my point that makes less sense than Paris Hilton.
