  1. Unless he looks truly extraordinary, even generational, I'd lean toward sending him back down. It's a rare breed of cat who can look like he belongs in the NHL at 18, and do it in a toxic atmosphere. I wanted Grigorenko to stay up, and I'm colored by that experience. He wasn't ready/expectations were too high/his development was delayed.

     

    Having said all that, I don't know Sam Reinhart from Sam Adams. My opinion might seem rather foolish after we see him in action.

  2. Someone said front offices tank but coaches and players don't. I can buy that take on the front office and the players. Coach is an interesting spot. He has one foot in the front office, too. And he has one of Murray's feet in his front yard as well — for example, Murray has a say in who the assistants will be, and maybe in the spirit of tanking, he's pushing for at least one douchebag.

     

    I would guess Nolan necessarily has to have bought into the idea of tanking, and he's going to make at least a few decisions to further the tank.

  3. All right, all right; I will change the title if someone tells me how to do that.

    Here, Eleven. This'll be the first and last time you can learn something from me. You should say:

     

    Listen, douchebags, it's not my fault you can't understand a simple concept. I could change the title, but I'm not going to. #zero######sgiven

  4. You remember correctly. Those 59 seconds took about five minutes.

     

    One of the best rule changes ever, IMO, was getting rid of that ability to freeze the puck and stop play.

     

    Whatever happened to the quick faceoff deal they tried a few seasons ago? It seems to have gone away.

  5. Hey, at least I can catch the final 59 seconds--thanks!

     

    IIRC, there were quite a few stoppages in the last minute. If the puck was anywhere near skates along the boards in those days and wasn't moving, whistle. I distinctly recall thinking it wasn't too late for a comeback. Just get one, and with 11 seconds left... plenty of time. That little kid is still waiting to have his faith rewarded.

    Have a good one.

     

    Brilliant!
