I agree, Myers has NOT looked good. But I can't bring myself to say "Hank's gone, he has a new partner, he has to adjust". Why? At this time last year, Hank WAS his "new defence partner" (at least compared to whoever he was with back in the WHL), and he didn't seem to be having any troubles at all. Nope, I think it's a little bit "teams have figured him out", and a little bit "he's trying to do too much". Both issues should ease over time.<br /><br />-- formerly "dave in Rocha"Dave Pogorzalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18326303697107442307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-37092272238245933652010-10-18T12:42:33.474-04:002010-10-18T12:42:33.474-04:00I have been impressed with Roy this season also. ...I have been impressed with Roy this season also. I am not in full panic mode or anything, but I am certainly concerned. I still question whether "the system" we always hear, and rarely have defined is not right for this group. It seems that for the past four seasons or so, I hear about "not playing the system" or "if we just stick with our system" At some point, the resistance to the system needs to be acknowledged. Change the players or change the system, because the two do not go hand in hand.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770585105343162265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-78355555938981622262010-10-17T17:38:55.807-04:002010-10-17T17:38:55.807-04:00Anonymous, I certainly won't argue that manage...Anonymous, I certainly won't argue that management would LOVE to sign Tyler Myers as cheaply as possible. But they kind of sort of need him to be good. :P (I will join you with pitchforks if he's not signed within a few days of July 1.)Heather B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06796852014625052317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-8915526260344462592010-10-17T15:58:37.852-04:002010-10-17T15:58:37.852-04:00no Heather, the boys upstairs @ HSBC are banking o...no Heather, the boys upstairs @ HSBC are banking on a BAD year for Myers...that lowers the $ he can expect in the upcoming negotiations that Darcy will initiate the last week of June next year.<br />If Regier doesnt get him signed next year ...no blather about 'small market ' this and 'hometown discount' that...I will lead the pitchforks and torches to his office and have his bald head on a pike in Niagara Square...not that I am given to overreaction at all :-0Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
