I just realized that Tuesday's game is in Long Island which should make a terrific atmosphere for a pro hockey game...

Sorry for the lack of game reports. A lack of sleep is catching up to me and I also missed the Experts League deadline for waiver bidding. I did watch the game and the simple write-up is that the team needs to bring down its goals against. It starts in the crease (Price) but the team has also been prone to some very bad defensive breakdowns. That is 16 goals against in the last three games.

OK, I was at the game (great seats directly behind the net, which are available for virtually nothing relative to the prices you pay at the Bell Center, MSG, etc.). Here is a short game report:
Plusses:
- Gallagher. The guy is a little cannonball out there, winning puck battles, stripping defensemen, etc. But you can already see where he'll have trouble, he goes in so hard and his playing style will make him prone to big hits and punishment, and possible injury.
- Subban. A few gaffes, but this game was an example of what he can be, so dominant on the puck. And the PP goal was exactly what we need, nice passing chemistry between he and Markov and Subban blasts.
- PP. Good puck movement overall.
- Eller. Didn't stand out too much, but a couple of plays where you can see his potential, his body filling out makes him increasingly tougher to knock off the puck and he's now exercising more patience, holding on to it to generate opportunities instead of dishing it off. He's got a fantastic wrist shot too, underrated.
- Emelin. Looks relatively solid out there, good pairing with Markov.
Minuses:
- Price, wow, haven't seen him play that poorly in awhile (although that's because I missed most of that Pens game Saturday night). Whenever you see Price in any way herky jerky or fighting the puck, you know he's off, he's mostly so smooth and calm out there.
- Gionta, he's working hard, but man he's just not got it this year, despite the goal. He just seems all over the place and isn't winning puck battles he used to win. He's scored a few now after a horribly slow start so hopefully that will motivate him to produce. All that aside though, a Quebecer / co-worker watching the game with me mentioned at one point that he thought Gionta as Captain never made sense to him, and I disagreed vehemently, he was a very good choice as Captain due to his obvious leadership qualities.
- Desharnais/Pacioretty - mediocre games, for them, we've come to expect more (especially after that brilliant effort against the Bruins).
- Markov. Meh game. Didn't do much offensively and was slow to react on a few defensive plays. Nice movement on the PP though.
- Officiating. Tim Peel is a putz.

Whatever leadership Gionta apparently brings I have yet to see it. He works hard most of the time on the ice but I have never seen him go above and beyond to boost the team.

Unless you are in the dressing room, you likely won't see anything outside what he does on the ice. Sorry if I'm stating the obvious. I like Gionta as well, but when he was made el Capitano, I was surprised. Oh well, at least it wasn't Gomez!! (Sorry, I probably am going straight to hell for that comment! lol)

I can give you many examples of on-ice leadership he's provided, and not just of the "moral support" kind. He was fantastic in the 2010 playoff run, 15 pts and 9 goals in 19 games, 70 SOG (a 280+ SOG pace) - particularly effective in that huge win over Pittsburgh. He also played well in the 2011 Boston series, 5 pts in 7 and 35SOG (a 400 SOG pace).
I don't think Gionta's going to be around too much longer, Gorges is probably your next Captain and that would be a fine choice, but I believe criticism of Gionta's leadership is largely unwarranted.

Mike Cammalleri was fantastic in the 2010 cup run too. I don't buy individual playoff runs as a sign of leadership. Show me something more sustained and I'll be a believer. The criticism is totally warranted. He doesn't do enough to make something happen. It's always someone else doing the real leading.
