Marino is in a little over his head right now. Playing with Letang at ES means you are playing stressful minutes and lots of them.

I love what I am seeing from him, but being put in this position with half a dozen games in the league is less than ideal.
Beat me to it...exactly that. What NTP is right, he hasn't been at his best...he also played a defense-leading 21:18 of ES time vs. Florida (minus 3)...before coming back tonight and spending, most of his ES shifts with Letang...against the Lightning...

It's a lot to ask for a guy, coming off of an 11-point, minus rating season at Harvard. Of all the guys to not play an AHL game on this defense, it's Marino (and Jack Johnson)...

This won't be a popular opinion, but Marino has been making some poor decisions recently, too. There are times where the chance to clear is obvious, and he attempts to either hold onto the puck and wait, or flip it back behind the net.
still made some good plays and is a far piece better than the obvious shortcomings but it seemed to me at times he got worked over pretty good.

Lafferty carrying 2 lines on many occasions. Or 3. Studly out there.

Lafferty has been a very pleasant surprise, and not just because he's got @mikey eating his own words. :)

Before going out last night, I put on a pair of pants and found $29 cash in a pocket that I would never put money (or anything) in...that's what Lafferty has been. Unexpected pants money...

I hope Kahun buries one soon. I think he needs it.

I hope we bury Kahun in the minors soon. I think he needs it.

But yes, what G said...I do kind of wonder if anything happens if/when the dam breaks...at two apples and an even rating, he is sporting the same stat line as Maatta but in more games...

Both would be fine.
