Lombardi, on Visnovsky
Here's what Lombardi had to say about parting with Lubomir Visnovsky, on his perceived struggles last season...
``He's a very good player. I think the world of this guy. You've got the top guys... and he's right there in the next layer. He's a quality person and I can't say enough about him as a player. As far as his production, you probably touched on it. I think his production will rebound. This can happen when your team is struggling and guys get off their games. I think that was the case a little with Lubo. The one thing that Lubo has is a bomb from the point. I think you see more guys in shooting lanes, so there might be a little of that there. But now (Edmonton) has two guys out there, and if anybody wants to get in the shooting lanes they're still going to need some protection.''

Love Vis but love this deal more.
Rich,
Forgot to mention this before - since your team switched over to the new servers and blog format, the mobile edition looks GREAT! No more endless scrolling through navigation items to get to a story or comments. You may want to clue-in the guys who do the rest of the Daily News site. :)
