Was at the game last night and it was by far the worst game I have watched live. And yes, I was around for the Young Guns era.
I find it a bit odd that we actually do have enough NHL calibre centres in the system, yet the coaching staff forces wingers into the centre position. I don't care what Jones did, he deserves to be on this team right now. Going forward I would like to see the following lines:
Tanguay - Stajan - Cammalleri
Cervenka - Backlund - Hudler
Horak - Jones - Stempniak
McGrattan - Begin - Jackman
Giordano - Butler
Brodie - Wideman
Sarich - Carson
Boom, there you go. 4 lines with 4 centres. How difficult was that?
And yes I understand that Butler is pretty much the love child of Satan and Zarley Zalapski, but this is honestly the best we have at the moment.
This line-up won't win many games, but at least it won't be embarassing like last night.
