Schubert in, Bell out

Someone keep count of the number of shots Schubert takes tonight that 1) hit bodies or anything other than the net, or 2) miss the net altogether, please?

what the?!?! Where's the logic there?
Bell has been playing well??

Are they showcasing Schubert? LOL

Are you kidding me? Bell has been responsible for at least 3 opponent's goals in the last 2 games alone. I think he's being overused and that he's in over his head. A break will help him I think.

Yeah seems a little odd...

As it stands Schubert has roughly 3 times as many hits in twice as many games over Bell. Missed shots are roughly the same.

Bell missed 3 shots and registered 14

Schubert missed 8, counted 22

Meh, whatever helps us lose. I've all but folded up the tent lol.

Sounds like this is more to motivate Bell...

"We want to get Schubie in. Brendan has been okay for us, but I think he can do more for us. It's maybe a good time for him to watch a game," said head coach Craig Hartsburg.

We'll see...

I've been unable to stay awake during intermissions. I keep falling asleep after the first period and waking up the next morning. Not that Bell or Schubert had anything to do with this.

Bell has been giving away more goals than he's been generating.

A "meh" move if ever there was one. When a "wow" move is required, no less. Impeccable timing.

Well I certainly haven't folded up the tent, but my optimism has quickly eroded away... LOL

I don't go to SBP anymore wondering at what time in the third would the sens guarentee me a lunch the next day...

Thats exactly right. He hasn't looked good in any zone in the past two games. He hasn't necessarily been bad in them either, but its not like he did anything that would force them to leave him in.

Bell sucked last game and isn't the answer. Why in hell we didn't come back with a PM d from CHicago is beyond me. Their defence flies like the wind. From top to bottom they are strong.

I don't feel good about tonights game either.

I was impressed with Florida's too. They've got a nice blend of touch guys and skill guys.

When Bouwmeester leaves, they won't suffer. Ballard will step right in. He's that good.

Well I think it's becoming more obvious that Harsburg has no intention of benching a top 3 guy. Nor will he consider benching Fisher or Vermette. If this is the case, there are no wow moves to make.

I think we ought to strap Spezza to the net ala, Goldberg in the Mighty Ducks. Let him "play" like that against Ovie and the Caps, and let's see how willing he is to bust his Donkey afterwards.
