A supremely-gifted offensive defenseman ought to have competent teammates playing the system to cover his butt should it happen. Blame the idiots who aren't backchecking.

Look, I love the guy. Rebecca said just last night that I was obsessed. But honestly, the guy is joining the rush too much.

But that hasn't been a negative, only a positive this year. He has been one of our best players next to Miller.

I know it doesn't really seem like it anymore, but Myers is a rookie, and a rookie with a good head on his shoulders. I don't think he's the one who decided he should get down low so often. I think he's just following Lindy's orders like a good soldier. I totally see your point Stu, but I think he's playing with a pretty good balance of O and D right now. And let's face it, sometimes we really need the help creating offense.

Myers is the least of our worries. I think we need to figure out why Pominville sucks at shooting when he used to be such a sniper.

Mr. Myers got himself 4 points tonight

You are a defenseman. That means the main point of your job is to keep the other team from scoring, not score yourself. If you want to take a shot from the point, then by all means, have at it. But you are NOT a forward, so you should rarely be behind the opposition's net on the forecheck. The reason why is that it often leads to breakaways for the other team, and it's harder for the forward who's covering for you to defend a breakaway than it is for you.

Stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

PS. If you're going to join the rush so often, then you damn well better be more effective than you have been to this point.
