Yup, frustrating. I'd like to see Bailey put down in the minors. He's just awful. He's like a deer in headlights out there. I actually thought the Nielsen, Tamby, MacClean line was the best of the night. I'd like to see them stay together for a while. Guerin is a complete ghost out there, he's been flat for a month now and I think it has a lot to do with having to babysit Bailey.

I like MacClean's play a lot. He's all over the ice (he's fast!), he's aggresive, and he plays the system well. The problem is when Hilbert and Hunter come back there's no room for him. Personally I'm ready to move Guerin for draft picks and keep MacClean up. Heck, I know it's only been 2 games, but Mac looks like a poor man's Alfredsson. Guerin never had any Captain experience before the Isles and personally, I don't think he's that good at it. Mac is Captain of the Sound Tigers. I say bring him up for the rest of the season and if he keeps playing like this move Guerin and put the "C" on his sweater.

I apologize, the guy's name is "McLean" not "MacClean" as I wrote it above. But where I mention "Mac" I'm talking about "McLean".

The only reason he's being sent to Bport is because of the All-Star break. Jack Hillen and Peter Mannino are headed back too.

Hmmm, a 28 year old rookie, that should tell all of us something about the owner, and managers of the train wreck of this team,he'll probably be on the opening day roster next season, it certainly wouldn't surprise me.
