All Activity

Foster Hewitt, his son Bill Hewitt and then Bob Cole. Hockey Night In Canada was iconic for me as a child and all were great announcers. Dave Hodge in the studio. Danny Gallivan and Dick Irvin in Montreal. Top shelf. RIP.

“Deserve’s got nothin’ to do with it.” - - - Another area Ruff will help that I don’t think I’ve seen mentioned is respect among the officials

Because his appearance somehow looks like it will provide an active obstacle to said explosiveness and speed

What a stinky post

The BOARD knows what we need and did last summer. Such is the nature of the stones Adams leaves/left unturned. None of it has been “ah well in hindsight”. It’s all obvious

You’ve touched on a few things in bold here best represented by this clip I don’t think the roster being set before camp and the system are the same thing though

Shouldn’t fall for clickbait if you listen to the whole thing Elliot also specifically praises Adams and said he would have done the same thing

Ftfy

Except Benson is a passer and Skinner a shooter. And Benson plays good D. Benson has a ways to go in penalty differential tho haha

Benson is pretty much Skinner just younger

So slick Goalie absolutely needs to grab his jock from the rafters

His name is my name, too!

I can taste the pizza and I can hear Bob Cole

Very sad for anyone who grew up watching HNiC. 😞

He tipped his hand as an ascending player while playing for Germany in the World Championships. Carried it over to the Sabres season. Meanwhile, many around him declined.

To the point about the weak power play and JJP having room to grow there, he was tied with Sidney Crosby and Brady Tkachuk for 5-on-5 goals this season—good enough to have only eleven players league-wide with more 5-on-5 goals.

My bad. Forgot about them.

I worry about that lost magic too

Very good year. I assume next year whenever John-Jason goes out on the ice, opponents, being very aware, will shout “there goes John-Jason Peterka for a shift!”

Ruff with Marty Biron yesterday

Please don’t go with the soccer team naming convention.

JJP's best assets are his skating and endurance. He is better when there is a flow of the game up and down the ice. When placed in a stationary power play those assets are compromised playing catch and hoping to see a hole to shoot. They did try to move more with the second PP unit but it never really clicked with who was playing on it. I would love to see JJ back with Quinn. If that happens his assist rate will go up for certain. I liked the fact he shot the puck any time he had an open chance. He gave up percentage for attempts. I would hope he could convert a few more of his breakaway chances. He sure gets enough of them.

The Colorado Mammoth are a National Lacrosse League team, they played Buffalo for the championship last season.
