Jaime Sifers? Maybe that was part of the motivation behind the one period benching, there wasn't a suitable replacement with all the injuries.<BR/><BR/>PS. Remember when I half-jokingly suggested trading Toskala earlier in the year when he played a lights-out game?

He has very clearly not been up to par which I think we all can agree on.<BR/><BR/>I do however side with FloridaLeaf and Eyebeleaf on the issue of punishment. I think Ron should of stuck with the pressbox for Kabbie instead of the benching. But hopefully things get reversed.<BR/><BR/>On Ron calling him out in the media, I am fairly certain he has also singled out others in the media before, and I am not too sure Kabs should be held to any different standard.Johnny Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557845488163663429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432386330226362504.post-4856720668832435602008-12-05T10:46:00.000-05:002008-12-05T10:46:00.000-05:00I'm there with you on the love for Kabby.

I also believe Ron should have put him in the pressbox instead of what he did, but maybe Ron knows him better than we do and that's the method he thought would be most effective. It obviously wasn't last night, but let's give it another game and see how Tomas responds. I am betting (and hoping) he comes out focused and plays well Sat night.

It was inevitable. I think Wilson, as coach, doesn't want the team to know what's coming. All he has as methods of retribution (for lack of a better word) are the press box and stapling a guy to the bench.<BR/><BR/>Kabby, as a star on this team, is expected to perform better than he has. I believe that is why he singled out Kaberle's play.<BR/><BR/>However, I also, after some time of reflection, feel he should be doing the same thing to Vesa. Yes, Ronnies options are far more limited in that respect, but he has been playing just as crappy.<BR/><BR/>I sent Kabby some love, but he still needs to shape up. Hopefully, a guy as humble as he gets pissed off at the attempt by Ronnie to embarrass him and goes on a tear. Nothing would make any of us happier.blurr1974https://www.blogger.com/profile/09703655873980666899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432386330226362504.post-1429587695448573332008-12-05T08:26:00.000-05:002008-12-05T08:26:00.000-05:00Dude Kabby is playing like shit, i agree he dind't...Dude Kabby is playing like shit, i agree he dind't deserve to be benched the whole first period, maybe just miss a shit, and the 8AM practice this morning, WOW, How long will Wilson get away with treating the players the way you guys treat me in the hockey pool....oh and Navin, how close are the stats for both our teams....Damn...Bhattorioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11790591855308386583noreply@blogger.com
