Well Kevyn certainly is special, innit?

GMKA extension will become reality due to the injury excuse…..there is no hope for this team’s future.

Caleb Malhotra is a guy to keep an eye in the 2nd round. Reminds me a bit of Helenius but not as good.

It's not a stat. His skating is better than Geekie at the same age. Really it's just his edge work. I don't think he's dynamic in his rushing either... but if you need a guy to dig pucks out or to take pucks from the wall to the HD area, Belchetz can do that. Still super early in the process so we'll see how he develops. He's a guy I wish went ncaa. I wanna know what happens when he's not 5 inches and 40lbs heavier than most ppl on the ice. He's in the top 5 for me right now but again, I don't really like to make a list until January.

Did RyJo kick Lindy's dog or something? Why can't they give him a shot over Bryson?

They aren't though... they were losing games before the injuries. The injuries don't matter.

If the Bruins waive Aspirot claim him. Good, stable, boring and uninspiring stay at home D man who made virtually no mistakes in the games he played. Much better than Bryson and a reasonably good compliment to any of the puck movers.

Just call me Nostradamus. Told ya injuries would be this year's excuse before the season even started.

Matt Tkachuk. Only bigger. Definitely not Tuch. A little like Martone maybe. I know the skating critique and a lot of the bigger guys get that critique. It's an over rated stat imo. It's not like he's a bad skater, just not the best. Lots of guys who people said didn't skate well enough make it big. Look at Geekie on the Bruins. People said he'd never be more than a 4th liner due to poor skating. Last time I checked he was tied for most goals in the league. They adapt.

You think it was right to offer the coach of the year a one year probationary deal? Seriously? After that debacle they brought him in as a sacrificial lamb. He never had a chance. Murray had to trade away every goalie because he still won too many games. They did not do right by him at all.

Not everyone. Playing to lose makes you a loser. You don’t tank for Clayton Keller.

They need to give Adams a deadline to make a decision on whether or not he wants to extend Tuch in Buffalo, although I have a feeling he is leaning towards joining another organization. Losing him for nothing July 1st is not an option.

Matthews and Stolarz both injured in loss to Bruins. Leafs might be challenging Sabres at the bottom this season.

The issue with McKenna, which I brought up a few months ago, was my concern that he wouldn't produce at a high level in NCAA hockey against 22, 23, 24 year olds. Still think he'll be an excellent pro, but he's not in McDavid's class.... or Celebrini. I see more of a Clayton Keller watching him play.

The Menu was a good flick. Not eating smores again though.

Savoie doesn't play the type of hockey we should want to play.

It's shocking really how many side effects there are with many common meds. As an internist, you know more than most

Seems like a lot of freak stuff going on... Norris hurts himself on a faceoff without being touched for the first time in hockey history. Zucker gets some freak virus where he can't eat solid food for over a week and loses a ton of weight. Kulich gets blood clots which is something very rare for someone his age Dahlin's leave if absence is him having to be with a fiance that had to have a freak heart transplant Greenway was recovering from an injury suffered last year

Some random thoughts During my Emergency Medicine Rotations, I had an attending who liked to talk about rare conditions and one of them was Commotio cordis, where a sudden blow to the chest at the wrong moment can cause cardiac arrest. My attending had seen a case of the month before when a teenage pitcher took a line drive in the chest causing cardiac arrest. There is another condition called prolonged QT syndrome where the electrical cycle of the heart takes longer to reset. It can be completely asymptomatic.Females and certain ethnic groups such as Eastern Asians are more predisposed to this condition. It is hereditary, but one needs to know their family history. There are certain medications which can also cause a prolongation of the QT Interval. One of these classes of medications is macrolides which are antibiotics, azitromycin ( Z PAK). When someone with undiagnosed prolonged QT Syndrome takes a Z Pack there is the risk of Torsades de pointes a cardiac arrhythmia which can lead to cardiac arrest.

Smart woman 😉

Glass half full would say we must be better this year then because we are still around the same with all these issues. However close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Yes he was certainly over-played but as a 3rd liner he was a fine player. We just put him on the Top line. Also Pommers did well 1-20 and 60-82 approximately while he didn’t exist 21 to 59

My niece's daughter who was 13 years old had her schoolmate and best friend pass away from contracting viral meningitis. I'm not saying this to be morbid or dramatic but, as you are doing, pointing out how serious this illness can be. You never know when you can be facing unexpected misfortune.

Sounds like he’s getting tips from my wife
