brad boyes--"set-up man"

so recently acquired forward, brad boyes is being touted as a set-up man...

great...friggen' awesome...

ummm...just one question....who's he gonna set-up?...

tim connolly?...he's a set-up guy...well kinda, if you consider 18 assists in 47 games to be worthy of that moniker...no...you can't count the assists he got from a turnover and goal by the opposition--as his minus-11 indicates...

ok, so he won't be setting up connolly...how about jason pomminville?...you know, he of the 9.4% shooting percentage...the same guy who was switched from left wing back to right wing in a matter of a few shifts?...

vanek?...wasn't lindy ruff saying just the other day that he likes vanek on the right side because he can uncork his slapshot easier?

ennis?...ummm...maybe...at least he's a left winger...

hecht?...(snicker, snicker)...ok...find hecht on, or below, the goal line, his favorite shooting spot and feed him for the bank-shot...

of course boyes may be setting up nathan gerbe on the third line as to not disrupt the chemistry of the core...

oh...and boyes has a great one-timer, especially on the powerplay...sound familiar?...al (cough, cough) kotalik (cough, cough)...from what we heard this morning from people in the know, boyes' goal production tanked with the blues powerplay...

look, i like brad boyes and in a previous blog said that he could become a steal...he piqued my interest when it was rumored that he was expendable...i really thought he would be at center, though...and, forchrissakes, could he be any worse than hecth at center?

who will this lone deadline day player-for-a-second-round-pick end up like?...one-game wonder, steve bernier?...steve "the invisible one" moore?...an out-of-shape raffi torres?...hope not...
terry pegula was wondering why darcy regier was disliked so much by the local media and fans...well, mr. pegula...ummm, if your sabres miss the playoffs again, you'll know why...in fact, you'll actually see it first hand...

VIVA LA CORE!!!
