I see where you're coming from, ETC, and you taught me something since I didn't know that Mair was more of a C/RW than the usual C/LW combination. Taking that kind of logic into account, I'd probably prefer Paille over Mair as well.

Unless Mair has truly outplayed him at practice.

The way that guy moves sometimes, I wouldn't be TOO surprised.

Some games, Mair is a machine. Others, he seems quiet.

At any rate, I'm excited to see which Mair shows up tomorrow night.

FUCK !!!! PAILLE IS BACK IN THE LINE UP....THAT LITTLE FAGGOT...I HOPE HE GETS HIS LIGAMENTS TORN ON HIS FIRST SHIFT ~!!!!!

Paille sucks, and i have no clue what management and lot of the fans here see in him....he hardly has ever given 100%.......hardly hits....has barely any offensive moves....and rarely connects when he does have a scoring chance....so maybe he can play a little defense....we have plenty of players, ie" kaleta, grier, etc. that can do that....

LETS GET THIS CLOWN OUT OF TOWN !!!!

sorry but i am rooting for him to either get a season ending injury, or he makes his way out of town via a darcy trade...yeah right

Dude, are you serious? Please, please say that you were joking.

It's hardly a joke....that's how i feel about paille....he may have done well in junior hockey....but not here....granted i have been in new england for about 5 years, and i have only had center ice 3 x i think...so far i have seen nothing from him that impresses me....am i missing something ?

if you are on the paille bandwagon, and feel he deserves a spot in our lineup then please explain...thanks MILM

No, it's one thing for you to not be impressed with him, but entirely another to root for him to tear apart his knee. I think you better make a retraction, and quick.

He definitely deserves a shot since he's on our roster and Vanek is injured.

Paille's main issue has been consistency, but he's shown that he can do great things.

At the ripe age of 25 this season, it's certainly do or die at this point.

But to suggest you want to see him injured rather than succeed and help us win hockey games tonight is a little too much.

Uh, yea, what PSP and ETC said. Paille has shown great garbage goal-scoring ability and a willingness to throw his body around like an angry pinball. Shit, last season, he skated smack into Price AND a Hab defender, presumably to send a message. Want proof, MILM?



That would be Danny Paille doing his best angry cannonball impression. If he could be consistent, I would have no problem seeing him in the lineup.

EDIT: You're going to have to right-click the word "image" and select "View image"

phil....i'd love to see him be an angry pinball and run over other goalies and defenseman on a consistent basis...i'm not saying he has never had a good shift or good game....but they are way to far and in between....to me i'd just be happy to see him off the roster
