point 3… Mac had a decade of crap and 2 years of penner? renney has had 2 months and already ripped his club in the media. i am a supporter of both MacT and Renney… i was also supportive of the coaching change to Quinn, and liked Quinns honesty, and change to Renney, which made sense because of the situation – why delay it a year when we rebuild now? I bring this up because really MacT – Quinn and Renney have all said the same things. The only difference is MacT waited until it was a lost cause to rip his team (the cancers we all now know about). Quinn waited one half scrimmage in training camp to rip the club and call them childish, pea brained morons who want to avoid physicality… then continued that assessment every practice and game. Renney took 2 months.

Eberles strength on his skates is impressive. battles hard
Magnum has actually been really solid. He got put onto the dip shit line of Cogs AT CENTRE and Brule on opposite wing. In otherwords he played defense from the puck drop and since even cogs sister and grandma beat on metro-cogs and take his toys and pucks… Magnum had alot more defence to play than offence. This is why Magnum got rewarded with time with Horcs and looked good. Hmmm who has the disadvantage of the rooks? To me Magnum has been no less impressive than the dupo that are benefitting from being on a line that can actually get stuff done without penner on their line. I think MacT and alot of others would say… if Penner is needed to saqve your ass from being waived and is needed to make you look useful…perhaps its smoke and mirrors and you are just a trash can to put pucks off of?

Nice to see not everyone is simply adding up assists with Whitney who has been atrocious in a more obvious way than gilbert. where as gilbert f’s up positionally and physically…whitney just gives the other team the puck. the give away against SJ from beehind our own net with no pressure was the dumbest play i have seen in 20 years. Luckily there was a penalty called seconds before. I cringe when he touches the puck.
just wanted to add those things. Maybe Whitney needs glasses. Cogs needs steroids, Penner needs to get a intensity transplant, Magnum needs ice time with Horc and Ebs or with Gags and a healthy Hemsky full time now.

here we go. q2 will be better.

As far as im concerned Cogs and Vandermeer and struds are Tambis over rule that Renney talked about.

Horcs would be a great centre if he could just get that one timer we saw in 07 back. Right now hes good and definently the best centre and mentor we have to offer.

D-man09: Why is Gagner rated so low.He’s had a good season so far compared to how the team has done.4 points behind hemsky.I think he has been a B or B+ so far this season.I have to agree with coaching I think Renney is doing a great job so far and man the guy knows exactly when to call a time out. Just perfect timing.

Only 5 goals and 11 pts in 21 games and -4. For our first line center, he has to get better. I didn’t think he was a problem in any way, but the numbers just weren’t there this quarter and I don’t think he’s stood out above anyone in the top six. So that’s why he got the C from me.

I think he’ll be better this next quarter though. Actually the team as a whole is looking good so far for Q2.
