Lazy bastards.

Knuble's back!

[phillyeaglesman]

like the Knuble signing. yes, he's 40.. i'm not thinkin the guy is gonna be a 20 goal scorer or anything. character guy, can park in front of the net.

[phillyeaglesman]

as for the game, great effort and once again nothing to show for it.

i like the "jam" so far, but we're gonna have to put one in the back of the net here soon. try scoring the first goal for a change.

Knuble's back? Yay.......

If he can contribute on the 3rd line, just even a little, I guess I'm okay with it. Seems more like a desperation move than anything.....

it's a low-cost signing to buy some time IMO, either just until they get hartnell back or possibly until some type of trade develops.

It's a low cost move, but it's super low reward. Dude had 6 goals and 18 points in 72 games last year. Doubt he's going to have much of a revival. Honesty, it's no different than sending Tye McGinn out there, imo, just, an older version of a body.

better than having to send shelley out there.

i like couturier infront of the net with giroux and simmonds on the PP ... lot of length and size ... nice to see luke schenn has a decent shot.

I guess, but that's about it, for me. Knuble screams "old fan favorite, lets time them over" than anything else to me.

I honestly hope they don't overreact and make a trade just 'cuz. It's a rough start, but there's a lot of youth and we should have money next year to play with. No need to do anything hasty.

oh i agree i don't think they need to rush into anything.


this move IMO is they are struggling to win, struggling to score, and knuble > sestito/shelley. plus he was cheap.

[1908_Cubs]

Quantity of shots is nice. Only wish the quality followed.

[1908_Cubs]

Tortorella is running his first line into the ground. Nash/Richards have been out FOUR shifts already!

[Ace23]

Well...Giroux & Timonen already have 10 mins of ice time as well. Lots of ice time for top lines, esp. considering NYR played a tough game with BOS last night.

Hopefully MDZ, Girardi, and Staal wear down a bit.

We're not playing the 2nd game of a back-to-back, though. They've rolled out their top 2 lines 5 times in a row to start the 2nd period.

That means we'll be a little better off come 3rd.
