Wells looks afraid of being hit and rarely crashes the net for loose pucks... I don't want to bash Wells.... Maybe rest Lockhart now, but come playoff time you need grit and Wells has zero.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-40773944032949542572009-03-05T09:19:00.000-08:002009-03-05T09:19:00.000-08:00I honestly wouldn't expect to see Berg unless we w...I honestly wouldn't expect to see Berg unless we were severely short on D. I think they want to get him in the mix, but at this point in the season I would be shocked to see him get any game action.<BR/><BR/>I do agree with you that Silvester has showed a little more than Wells this year (though not much more other than speed). I think you have to keep in mind that the lines aren't necessarily going to be stacked with your 5 best players out first, then your next 5 best, etc. and Sumner has been trying to mix and match with what we have lately to get the team going with some momentum into the playoffs.<BR/><BR/>Lockhart looks tired to me and he has played his butt off for a lot of the season as a 16 year old... so it doesn't surprise me that he is maybe hitting a bit of a wall.Thunnexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789566664956835210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-56449612036785831812009-03-04T21:46:00.000-08:002009-03-04T21:46:00.000-08:00can someone please tell me why wells gets chosen t...can someone please tell me why wells gets chosen to play over silvester every time???? to me ( ive missed one game all year) silvesters game has improved big time from last year. he uses his body better than wells, hes a better playmaker than wells, he seems to be more aware than wells. dont get me wrong, i am a fan of charles wells for sure. he is great on the penalty kill, but part of last nights game he was playing on a line with obrien and richard. he is in no way a 2nd line center. and probably never will be. all this line changes, all this sitting a player one night, playing him the next just has seemed to throw off the rhythm of everyone. i think it worked for awhile because it put a charge or maybe even a scare in the players. i would like to see them keep the lines the same for the rest of the season and the playoffs. this is what i would like to see.<BR/><BR/>1st line d lines<BR/>scott rai parker hickey warg<BR/> 2nd line<BR/>richard obrien boyer schappert haber<BR/>3rd line<BR/>leblanc silvester cloud dillon fleming<BR/>4th line<BR/>sena lockhart wells<BR/><BR/>when neilsen gets back (does anyone know when that is) i would put him with leblanc and cloud and move silvester to the forth line and sit lockhart. i know i know, hes been a fan favorite, and i do like him, but the last few games, he has just seemed to be outplayed and pretty much just abused by bigger players. early in the season it was much different, but i dont think he is used to playing this many games. hopefully we can play better this weekend. and we can figure some things out. <BR/><BR/>also, is berg ever going to play? <BR/><BR/><BR/>chrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-20929250088019100912009-03-04T15:10:00.000-08:002009-03-04T15:10:00.000-08:00It doesn't matter if Chet is in net or not.

If we can't get a puck across the goal line and we make extremely stupid mistakes around our own net we are going to lose both games like we did last night.<BR/><BR/>It's gut check time, either the boys step up and take advantage of the situation or we're screwed.Kodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12530094650260889519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-11191144303994506602009-03-04T14:56:00.000-08:002009-03-04T14:56:00.000-08:00For friday night it looks like Calvin's brother wo...For friday night it looks like Calvin's brother won't be playing in goal for the Americans. He was injured when Lett from Spokane ran him. This led to two line brawls in that game. <BR/><BR/>Americans coach Nachbaur was quoted in the paper as saying this about Lett: "A kid with no future in this game runs a kid with a future." and the Spokane coach: "is a primitive coach who put the game right back to the 1970s. There was a plan behind that. It was ridiculous. He was sending guys off the bench the whole night."<BR/><BR/>Here is a pretty good view of the <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tnaeSOCKaI" REL="nofollow">incident</A> along with the fight immediately afterwards:<BR/><BR/>The WHL has suspended Lett for 10 games.<BR/><BR/>Americans are saying Pickard has a "slight" concussion and won't be playing in their 3 games this weekend.<BR/><BR/>Tri-city and Spokane have 2 more games together with a home and home on the 13th and 14th.Trevor's Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10083861868823202544noreply@blogger.com
