The knock on Chara will always be his playoff success; Pronger doesn't have that.Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11894459403096679819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21451947.post-11068967536726179682009-11-12T05:33:37.017-05:002009-11-12T05:33:37.017-05:00Chara would definitely be an upgrade over Lee.

Seeing those EDM goals had me worried it was going to be a 7-2 ass whooping. I notice Leclaire has about the same Save percentage as Gerber did last year. He needs to be better - still growing pains for sure, coming back off an injury and all. <br /><br />Our D isn't helping him out - that Penner goal should have been batted to the Master Of Puppetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13969209650012253802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21451947.post-20239117841346638272009-11-11T09:37:59.342-05:002009-11-11T09:37:59.342-05:00I've often stood up for Picard, but no matter ...I've often stood up for Picard, but no matter what anyone, including Canucnik, says: That was a brutal game defensively. He's just playing in too many situations for a guy that needs to be a 5-6 D-Man and keep learning to make better decisions. Offfensively, he's good.

All the defencemen had trouble handling the puck, including Lee and Campoli. Carkner was strong. Picard was our worst, bar none. By just telling me the plus/minus of each player makes it sound like you didn't even see the game. Be objective of Picard, for once.Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11894459403096679819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21451947.post-67818575304890901062009-11-10T23:09:25.834-05:002009-11-10T23:09:25.834-05:00Duff:
