Wick. I don't think he had a snowballs chance to make the team, but I thought he'd show up a little better and at least make it past the first cut.

(i'm assuming this was to be limited to our rookies, otherwise I've got a different one )

Do tell...

Regin who? He's been pretty non existent and disappointing so far. I thought he'd have a big inside track for the top-6 opening, but now it looks like its Foligino's to lose.

I guess we'll reverse the countdown...My list of Disappointments:
#3: Wick
#2: Regin
#1: Refs and League Punishments

The lack of calls against the Sens and the Calls for their opponents have been atrocious. I know the refs are getting their feet wet as well, but still. Even last night there were a couple no calls that were obvious penalties. I am in no way blaming the refs for any losses or wins, especially in the pre-season. But I do hope it gets better. Its not as though the rules changed dramatically this season or anything....

For league punishments... Its disappointing to me that someone can get suspended a game for taunting (making the slashing move across their throat) but nothing happens to the guy that shoves someone's head into the ice or targets their head with their elbow....

I was about to call SD out on that. I questioned why some here were so up on Regin -- 3 goals in 3 playoff games is nice, but how about the regular season? Foligno was on his way to much better numbers when he broke his leg, so it's no surprised to me, at least, that that's how they stand now.

SD, though, I'm pretty sure was very high on Regin, so how is he *not* a disappointment?

Yeah, I was certainly expecting more out of Regin. While I'm disappointed in his output, it's not like Wick where he's nancing around the neutral zone, as usual Regin is involved and at least playing dependable in his own zone.

I love what Foligno has done this pre-season though, something of a work of art. If he takes Regin's spot in the top six, that's fine, he's earned it, but I look to Regin to continue to play hard in all zones and get himself back into the top 6, where one day I'm confident he'll be a fixture.

100% slam dunk, these three guys have been awesome. I've really enjoyed watching Cowen as well.

In my defence, that was before I knew he was broken.

This is the guy who had better wake up - and soon IMO.

Why Cowen? I really don't think he's been anything to write home about.

I think Wiercioch has outplayed him thus far.

So far in the preseason, I have been most disappointed in Peter Regin (1) and Roman Wick (2). Regin has really seemed invisible in the games he has played, and with the way Foligno has been ripping it up, he has found himself behind him now to be a top 6 forward. I hope to see more out of Regin tonight, we need him to produce badly.

Roman Wick was just terrible, he had no flash whatsoever and floated around most of the time. The best game I saw of him was the 3rd period in the last game he played for us (I think it was against Montreal). I don't expect him to amount to much in the NHL. If he doesn't want to take his knocks in the AHL he's just not going to ever make it here.

See, I wasn't expecting much, so I wasn't disappointed.

Cowen's horn was blown by Murray, though, and like a fool I fell for that. Relative to expectations, he's been a disappointment.
