Box me up too. I'm ready to go back to the mountains.

I'm actually fine with Sheary, E-Rod and Larsson for the time being. Even Pominville is reasonably responsible with the puck. Skabotka though. His passes are maybe the worst on the team when he's under pressure. He just fires the puck to wherever.

I don't know if size is necessarily the answer. I think it's more that they need to solve the teams that play a heavy game by line-matching and playing at a fast enough pace that the grind you down style isn't effective. That means making quicker decisions with the puck. I think the lack of talent and experience on the roster tends to hamper their ability to overcome the physical stylings of a team like the Bruins. I also think Phil's stated disinterest in line-matching is contributing there as well.

Situations are so much different now than they were then. Black Sunday is pretty much irrelevant unless you like torturing yourself.

I'm not even worried about a deal getting done. Skinner is staying here.

Funny you mention that. I was thinking the same thing last night. His shooting might be about as good as Larsson's. His wrist shot might be accurate, but it has absolutely no power behind it.

Their inevitable first round exit will be fun

Reinhart on his own line forever please.

I like it. It's like having Kotalik back.

Hopefully they keep Reinhart on his own line for a while. It needs to be like this.

Sam should've had a goal there.

I'm glad Casey listened to the board and stopped shooting the puck. Oh wait.

Sure! Reinhart on his own line is good.

Great work by Mittelstadt. Lots of blue around the net there too, which is good.

They're playing a high risk game with their movement in the offensive end but I like it.

Skabotka. I'm stealing that.

Sounds like the team just doesn't care about him as much as Jack ?

If this isn't a shot at Eichel then what it is?

Did you read the thread at all?

Why is it perplexing? Elie is capable of suiting up for NHL games right now. Wilson isn't. Nothing to be perplexed about.

Is Rochester in a situation where they might not even be able to dress Wilson every night for lack of space on the roster?

Exhaustion is easily overcome by willpower. Just ask all the people on the Titanic who swam back to shore. Mouse butter second only to mouse potatoes.

Stories involving miracles don't tend to provide particularly useful lessons.

Who wouldn't want to be the mouse with impossible super strength and stamina?
