As in he doesn't have any. I'm not sure he would cure what ails us right now.<br/><br/>I think the Ehrhoff missing the net thing is a bit of a red herring. His first priority when he winds up at the point is to get the puck through. The worst thing that could happen would be to bank it off the shin pads of the guy covering the point and spring a breakaway the other way. He's doing that job ok. On the contrary, I think he's not <i>skating</i> enough to create a lane for himself to shoot. <br/><br/>That being said, watching Cheech have the game on his stick in between the circles and miss high is dispiriting.

They played a different brand of hockey with him on the ice 2 weeks ago.<br/><br/>I hope in this weeks practices Ehrhoff, Patty and Cheech stayed an extra 30 minutes every day and just took shots at the empty net to remind themselves of it's dimensions. If just one of these guys can find the mesh again we are in business. Good stuff, Grier…
