Kesler not scoring in 15 games is a legit concern. Pahlsson has more than adequately replaced Hodgson's hole on the roster (THIRD line Centre).
Fuck scoring from the bottom six, this team requires PRIMARY scoring. If we can't get Kesler going we won't be going anywhere.
Nope. I got it.
Unlike you, I'm not a [Mod Edit] and I can admit fault.
To your credit, you are correct that this team needs far more primary scoring.
1. Finally able to give Mason Raymond a 10 on a fly by....check
2. Lull them into a false sense of securtiy by giving up the first goal...check
3. Don’t tire yourself out in the first period...check
4. Score a powerplay goal when they take a dumb penalty...check
5. Score a lucky goal...check
6. Shoot the puck into the net from the slot rather than into the goalie or miss the net..check
7. Have your goaltender “stand on his head” stopping the puck and not give up any soft goals...check
8. Have your goal tender have some lucky bounces....check
9. Have a goal called off by a hated referee who never gives you a break....check
10. Have your goaltender stop a penalty shot...check
11. Don’t hit Mitchell because he used to be a Canuck...check
12. Have your checking center go into offensive corners to try to dig the puck out and be lost on the backcheck when you turn it over....check
13. Not be able to get the puck out of your end multiple times to keep the fans interested....check
14. Not have Kessler and his line do anything offensively, and only be -1 defensively....check
15. Practice positioning after loosing draws....check
16. Let their fourth line outplay us and suck Sutter into playing them more when they don’t have much of a chance of scoring despite all their energy....check
17. Fart around with the puck in your own zone near the end of the game to give the fans palpitations...check
18. Have all your forwards except one save their goals for the next game....check
19. Give Tanev more practice at recovering from turnovers...check
20. Win the game....check
I have the feeling the whole team was playing better just because of his presence esp. on pp.
If he stays ready for playing and Schneids reserve his magic, the light ray of light on the horizon will become a wonderful sunrise.

Much better....but there was only about..6 mins of the team that could be. Cory was great, if Kesler and booth and the rest play better and we get on that high end canuck roll...earthquake country is In for heartache..

A true friend would have waited until the game was over.
Reef, Glad we are both disappointed this morning.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Amen brother, did win $21 as I bet on Pits/Nucks to win. 1 more win to go.

Absolutely massive! Don't know where we'd be without him. A real offensive dynamo in the mold of the great Ryan Johnson. Him, Lappy, Pahlly, Higgy, Hansey, Kassy...all real massive for us. The Sedins, Burr, Hammy and Ginger would be nothing without 'em.

I just love the people slagging Luongo, throwing him under the bus, like it's been his fault all along why we are in this position. The Hockey intellect around here is huge.

Sheesh, that was awesome
Lappy has much better hands than Booth. He just doesn't have the speed.
Lappy surprises me sometimes. Sometimes he's got the stone hands of Steve Bernier, then the next minute he's dipsy doodling like Kyle Wellwood.
As for having better hands than Booth, it doesn't take much to having better hands than the Heathen.

I didn't know there wasn't enough room for the two of them on the same team?

Well, it was nice to see that AV finally realized that the two blind mice Kesler and Booth should not play together.

Well, every once in a while the top 6 struggles to score, that is when hopefully, you have some bodies in the bottom 6 that can take up the slack every once in awhile, hence secondary scoring or support scoring. But, uh, our bottom 6 couldn't score to save their lives.
I had a great chuckle when I saw AV trying out Pahlsson at centre in the 2nd Unit PP in practice. A guy who in his entire 12 year career has only once scored over 10 goals which was 11.
