I will be mailing it in as my spot on the roster is secured.

F: S. Bitten, W. Bitten, Bolduc, Dean, Kyrou, Laferriere, McGing, Peca, Saad, Schenn, Toropchenko, Washkurak

D: Bortuzzo, Kalynuk, Kessel, Loof, Rosen, Tucker

G: Binnington, Ellis





Who, Nathan Walker???
I think a team has issues when people question them when they cut a big, slow, oafish lug who will still outscore Walker, MacEachern (and maybe Neighbours) combined.

There are serious issues if a team can't average five shots on goal a period.

In their last three preseason games vs CBJ, Chicago, and now Dallas the Blues have been outshot 94 - 53. That's a pathetic 17 shots a game.

I did not expect the offense to be an issue. We'll see if it's just some weird preseason anomaly or we're in for some dark post Pronger era type times.

On the post game show they were concerned about this being a carryover from last season. I think this is a result of Berube's insistence they rely on puck movement to get a quality scoring chance rather than shooting more to develop rebound chances. It's stifling them.
