PP has been atrocious all year, PK is awful too. Even if I like Sakic, I hope he doesn't sign a 6 million/year next year, he's not the same player he used to be. Don't get me started with Hedjuk. Sure he will score a couple of goals in 2 or 3 games and then he completely disappear for the next 8 or 9. I'm not sure I want to see them having their asses handed to them by Detroit in the first round.<BR/><BR/>h**p://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/FIREQAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448603083409761259.post-75352704498616014452008-03-22T17:10:00.000-06:002008-03-22T17:10:00.000-06:00Yeah, Leopold is pretty useless; trading Tanguay f...Yeah, Leopold is pretty useless; trading Tanguay for him was just a way for the Avalanche to clear up room to re-sign Blake (and that sure worked out!).Magnumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00538132499976249643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448603083409761259.post-50096070590553311712008-03-22T16:39:00.000-06:002008-03-22T16:39:00.000-06:00Yep, he's got fancy moves but if he doesn't conver...Yep, he's got fancy moves but if he doesn't convert, there's no point to it. Hemsky has had the same issues but he's started firing the puck and is converting. They're very similar players and I absolutely love watching Hemsky - even if he's scoring on the Avs.<BR/><BR/>Svatos is definitely missed with his clutch scoring and Clark would be a better option than Leopold has been lately.Shane Girouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09749726552751076600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448603083409761259.post-42597174804285598022008-03-22T16:20:00.000-06:002008-03-22T16:20:00.000-06:00Yeah, he's not coming out of it anytime soon. I do...Yeah, he's not coming out of it anytime soon. I don't know why he just doesn't shoot the puck. He's too fancy and turns it over constantly.<BR/><BR/>It's even so apparent how much Svatos (and even Clark, who has a decent point shot) are missed.Magnumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00538132499976249643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448603083409761259.post-3008927874349641542008-03-22T16:07:00.000-06:002008-03-22T16:07:00.000-06:00I'm not sure if Forsberg was ever truly expected t...I'm not sure if Forsberg was ever truly expected to play even though he took the pre-game warmup. But either way, that's still something the team should be able to recover from.<BR/><BR/>Hejduk has seemed to be coasting this season while displaying a spurt of talent every now and again just to keep people wondering. I can't count how many times he scored a goal and saw someone say "He's breaking out of his slump!"<BR/><BR/>He's on pace for 24 goals this season, the same amount from the first season post-lockout, and that's just not good enough. <BR/><BR/>Linemates have certainly been an issue for Hejduk as he really needs to feed off of his teammates and if he can never get in a groove with someone, he just never seems happy.Shane Girouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09749726552751076600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448603083409761259.post-56589105629075111772008-03-22T16:00:00.000-06:002008-03-22T16:00:00.000-06:00I think some of the problem was that Forsberg was ...I think some of the problem was that Forsberg was expected to play, and the lines had to be re-shuffled as a result of his late scratch.<BR/><BR/>There are so many problems though, namely the lack of a big point shot and the fact that Hejduk is expected to be the team sniper but hasn't been doing anything but turning the puck over!Magnumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00538132499976249643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448603083409761259.post-84976854749426650602008-03-22T15:59:00.000-06:002008-03-22T15:59:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Magnumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00538132499976249643noreply@blogger.com
