Sucks for Kozak who brings exactly what you need in a 4th line C. Would rather have seen Helenius brought up as he brings those same qualities, imo. Instead, we get a slow skater. Will Lindy move Krebs back to center on the 4th line now?

Maybe they shouldn't call it The Sabrehood, innit?

The half hitch is a simple hitch knot, where the working end of a line is brought over and under the standing part. Insecure on its own, it is a valuable component of a wide variety of useful and reliable hitches, bends, and knots.

There are technological marvels that allow you to be anywhere virtually.

The goaltending is better, but so is the defense.

Certainly, Lyon has given them a chance in every game. What else is new? Benson's emergence as a force, Doan being a top 6 contributor, Timmons performing well, improved play from Muel and Quinn, solid play from Rosek and the entire 4th line. Special teams improving. The top guns are starting to make a little noise now, there is more than ample incentive for Thompson and Tuch to play well - Olympic opportunities may not always be there. Dahlin is in a difficult situation right now but his play is still pretty solid, as is Byram. They should get better as the season goes on, especially if Kesselring and Greenway are positive contributors. Can Lyon keep it up and what will they do with UPL/Ellis? It sounds like they are going to play 3 goalies. If Ellis and UPL both play well then they have an opportunity to make a move to improve the roster and really go for the playoffs. The goalie situation is in interesting sidebar to the season. Having Ruff and Jarmo here to manage it, rather than Adams alone, gives me some hope.

Maybe it doesn’t mean anything. Maybe it does. Tough to know without being in the building. Which he’s not.

No morning skate, so no info yet

Now you’re just being anti-semantic. You are an anti-semantite.

Pardon me if I missed it, but do we have lineup/starter info yet? Paging @Brawndo and @LGR4GM

I don't want to overreact either up or down. However, even recognizing that the improved play is for a short stint, isn't it so much more fun when the team is playing well? The focus of the attention is then directed to the play rather than to the rickety state of the organization. There are a number of reasons for this upgrade in play. In my view, the biggest factor to this better play is the play in net.

Exactly. I am excited they’ve won a few, but it’s a long season, just keep consistent competitive play boys, the wins will come.

Many on the roster have advanced from floating to playing.

I need a LOT more from Quinn than a couple of good games before I say that. His anlaytics, possession numbers, defensive numbers are still pretty bad for the year...and its not like he has 5 goals in 8 games. The last couple games were good, but overall this year he has still been below average.

It’s October.

And what if he is?

Benson has been unreal but he needs to pot one tonight to get him going in the goals department. Benson being the playmaker from the wing means you can have 2 shooters in Tage and Kulich at Centre and RW.

I was TAD’d (temporarily assigned duty) at the air base often and had to report to the naval base each time for briefings as my helo squadron was assigned to ships there back in the early 90’s after the gulf war. I loved it then, loved it this trip. Although, it has sprawled out since my time there. We did Topgolf out by the airport, Pinky’s at Folly Beach and I took the fellas to the Yorktown, Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head.

The French have called in...Clouseau !

I agree. That's the usual problem with Dahlin. He tries to do too much and sometimes that costs him. It's partly trying to press for offense at times and also trying to cover for a partner who is out of position or forwards that miss their assignments. Like a lot of highly skilled players he has a tendency to over estimate his ability to be in two places at the same time.
