Playoffs should not be a consideration in deciding whether to keep Goldobin or not.

Taking the long view, Goldobin will either eventually develop the defensive side of his game (with Bo chirping in his ear all game long) or he will be a pump'n dump.

Let it play out. He won't clear waivers so he's not going anywhere unless he's traded.

I sure hope it’s a flu bug with Horvat because the gap between him and our 1C - Pettersson is wider than the Pacific Ocean. He’s playing at best 3C quality. Think it might be wise to put Sutter in that 2C slot, and Bo 3C, when Sutter comes back to get Bo back on his game

1) Nillson... ñot a reasonable backup
2) Goldobin... sucks defensively
3) Stecher ... cant shoot straight, poor defensively

Goldie could be replaced by Schaller on 4th line
Biega > Stecher
Trade for a decent AHl Goalie ?

3rd period looked like the team gave up after goal 3
Flu bug ? Bo still not on top of his game
Hoping to see Sutter back next game
Granlund and Schaller should be punted long before Goldobin. What the hell is Nilsson supposed to do? Score a couple goals too?

Stecher while not a world beater, is still a better player than Pouliott or Del Zotto.

He’s played a couple less than stellar games and the knives come out. Lmfao

Well, we all seem to have a different take on this messy game.
I saw real good speed from jake in the third. Didn't see him get his regular shifts in the first or second.
I'm mostly a proponent for Goldy but when pressured, he makes passes that can be intercepted and cause breaks the other way.
Blob, Nilsson was badly out of position for 2 of the goals and both times he didn't realize he'd cheated so far to one side.
He even glared at Edler and Edler had gotten out of his way. Know he hasn't had any game time lately but both goalies take shots
every skate. No doubt rust is a factor but we've seen this in him before.
What the hell, their plane iced up and had to be de-iced at least once in Calgary, so they got in real late.

I put up a we will be victorious game thread but that's just what I always do. I gotta!!
I'll admit, I figured we'd lose. 10am Eastern game? How many of those have we won? Ever?
It's just a freakin pot-hole! I think the damn ball-joints are still OK..

If we could get a pick for Granlund though, might be an idea. He may be the one that a team may take a chance on...

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.
