Good. I'll take Bates Back!!!!! Even with hilbert getting a goal - Did he close his eyes & Shoot??? because hilbert Just plain Sucks in the offensive side of the game, at least Bates has a decent pair of hands...

Truth be told is hilbert should be 4th line Tops & Tambellini should be in his spot but for some reason hilbert keeps getting starts, He & simon & my only gripes I Have with Nolan as coach...

How do you have a gripe about Simon? The guy is a 4th liner and our enforcer. The 4th line has been the only consistant line night-in-and-night-out. They bang and they work hard in their limited ice time.

Perhaps you want the next coming of Clark Gillies? Wouldn't we all? But let's face it, Players like Gillies come once a generation and that's why he's in the Hall of Fame.
