I have no hate toward PC or Curadeau. I have had interactions with both and both are exceptionally nice. The stats say they are amazing, so why do they appear to lack on home ice? And why does Curadeau have the worst stats on the team? These are honest questions. I love yelling at PC when he gives one of his signature lackluster passes to the other team or turns it over because of lack of effort, but can we look at him and Curdy without looking at stats or better yet, compare them to whoever is a healthy scratch?

RK.. No.. No posters , no vacationland. Just know the game of hockey. It just makes me sick when someone that probably can't stand up on a pair of double runners criticizes individual players and their abilities. I for one have skated with quite a few of these guys and have an appreciation for their talent.and for what its worth, I thought they all looked bad after the first period

Question: How do you develop a younger player such as A-Pod who has excellent potential? How can he learn to use those skills at this level without playing at this level? I am confused. If the philosophy is we need younger and hungrier players, scratching them is not a good way to develop them. I have to assume that the fact that our team is in next to last place in the league is dictating a change in our development philosophy. Sounds like a royal "Catch 22" to me. Does our group think you can't develop a young player unless you already have a successful team without him?
In my opinion, Friday's loss was definitely a total team loss. There were enough mistakes made that there is no need to try to point fingers at only one or two individuals. Let's put it behind us, learn from the loss, and get back on track again. Go K's.

Great question, JB. You don't do it now when there are 25 games left in the regular season and you are fighting for every point you can get. That's when you go with the proven player. Let's face it, there were reasons why he was available free and clear at this time of the year.
Zach, that's the thing. Brandon had to know where that forward was. If he went right for Preece, and Preece then kicked the puck over to that forward, Brandon would have been catching just as much grief. And he has less time to think about it than it took me to type that sentence. He's up a creek either way. Preece just made a really good play.

You know what's funny is I was talking to Chaulk before last night's game about Wednesday's game and he said Brandon and Bobby were the best two players on the ice all night in that game. And a few other guys standing there agreed. Do you think they got any slack from some of the fans for that? No way.

JM.. Yeah your right.. I have had the privelidge of playing hockey with a majority of our players and yes I do still play senior hockey. I have a great appreciation for their talents. You must be one of the critics who has never played. Its pretty obvious or you wouldn't make the statements you choose to make. Meet me on the pond?

JM: Well said, you beat me to it. I also vote for the president and Congressmen but I've never served a term in either house, or spent time with any government officials. Strange concept, huh?
Despite all this talk, as it has been said, it was one loss. And Warner's situation didn't lose the game, so Im over it. Say what you will, the idea of putting a body on a guy and him possibly retaliating appears to terrify Warner. Physical play is not on his resume.

Enough with the you dont play so u have no opinion. i ice skate and sometimes play hockey but i dont have talent. But i can still have a opinion on what this team needs to work on. We shouldnt have to justify our opinions because we never played hockey. just my 2 cents. Go K's! im in dayton ready for a win

See scooter.. If you understand my post, its not about having an opinion and not have played. Its about singling players out and the way you criticizE with your opinion. And RK .. Do you realize the most successful and probably the greatest defensemen in the game was credited with less than 30 body checks the entire season last year? That would be nick lidstrom. I love a physical defenseman as much as anyone but doesn't fit all players style

I still don't tell people if or when they are wrong about certain players. Opinions are like --- :)
Warner is good most of the time,PC is good 71% of the time.
No one in this league is a "super-star NHL" type player & never will be.

I watch at least part of an NHL game every day, read all the AP's NHL game reports and Puck Daddy blog entries word for word, follow Steve Dangle's videos, and read books and biographies pertaining to ice hockey... all in my ongoing quest to learn all there is to know about the sport of ice hockey. How hard can it be if you guys can do it?
