What I do see is the need to be team tough. Why is Jesse Paradis the only one defending a teammate? Why didn't Borejko come back and stick his nose in with Bouma after the hit? You don't need to fight him, but give him the general impression that you don't appreciate getting run over. The old saying 'strength in numbers' apply's here. Everyone in that dressing room has to play with a touch more courage...especially on the road. Who's to fear on the Giants roster? Garet Hunt isn't there anymore. In Kamloops Matt Kassian is gone, so the need for a physical presence isn't needed. Give me a Brady Leavold type of player, and you've got me sold. I agree that St. Denis will help take some of the pressure off of the #1 line, but in a previous post it was suggested that several players have been used to compliment Benn and Long and it hasn't really worked out. In an ideal world, a puck moving defenseman and another forward with skill and grit to play along side Benn and Long is needed.Regan Bartelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156188149671632288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092520535436243757.post-25551588219198541302008-11-15T10:40:00.000-08:002008-11-15T10:40:00.000-08:00I watched the game last night, sorry Regan I tryed...I watched the game last night, sorry Regan I tryed to listen to you at the same time but the timing was off quite a bit. Anyways from my take on the game we need to address our toughness, goaltending & a good puckmoving defenceman for sure. As far as scoring we'll be much better when Kyle returns, also I don't see anyone at this point stepping up as a leader, this surprise's me as we have alot of veteran's on this team. Your take on this would be appreciated.g.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12950960214447016444noreply@blogger.com
