I was going to post in the tone used by many on the WGR Whiner Line, but then I'd want to slap myself with a fish.
Keep in mind, this is just my opinion and the comments to follow should not be taken with any grain accuracy, credibility or with hopes that I have any idea what I'm talking about;
-Ott has been pretty well spot on with how I seen him fitting into the lineup. Energy guy that can produce chances.
-Van/Pommer/CoHo are as expected, although last night (the little bit of the game I watched) I wasn't too fond of Cody's play. Likely because the chemestry has been been altered by Vanek's absence. I expect them to return to form against 'Tronna tomorrow night. I know Van is battling a strain, but I'd sooner have a guy with his skill battle it out and keep the line together to start generating something, than have him sit. I know, you need your best players to be healthy, but before this ship starts to sink, you need your top gunners firing pucks in the net to get something rolling.
-Miller has done the best with what has been in front of him. I have no real complaints with his play except that time when he was good and then married a big-boobied Hollywood actress and his game went to teh suck afterwards. And, in case anyone who doesn't know my sick and twisted sense of humor, I am completely joking when I say the above statement. In all honesty, I have no issues with Miller's game this season, thus far.
-Our D, quite frankly; facepalm. Just my opinion.
-Staff/Enzo/Foligno haven't picked up where they left off last year, although they have been showing signs of returning. I'd like to give them a little more time before placing some C4 under them and blowing the line up.
-Myers (Wanted to keep him separate) looks to be playing a bit timid. Possible his ankle is still bothering him. Not saying he lacks drive or is playing without passion, but there is a big difference when a guy just can't do what he used to because of injury and just not giving a crap because he got paid big bucks.
The rest of the team, I'm not surprised/shocked with the play. Haven't wanted to pull my hair out but also not wanting to build their statues outside the FNC. Basically, I'd say they're .500. Grigo; I’d like to see him play some more skilled guys. By the looks (and sounds) of things, he’s here to stay. Which is cool by me.
Last, but not least...
-Lindy/coaching staff. I'm not screaming for a change (yet) but one would have to think if this slide is the beginning of something far worse and the players just quit on them, a change may have to come. Who will take over the bench? Well, currently, I'm unemployed and have a pretty good grasp on the game. So, in short, me.
