K-9

While I’ve been looking at the subject thru a strict medical lens, I never considered a player’s mere style of play as a pre-existing condition for injury. There is merit to the idea and perhaps we need to go further and accept the fact that all players in all sports that require its athletes to routinely stress their bodies to maximum limits are prone to injury simply due to their participation.

I don’t know about most so perhaps not.

I think he means board members of a certain age. And he’s correct, imo.

Tokarski started in net, but I couldn’t make it past the first period, so don’t know if he was pulled or not. I imagine Levi gets the call tomorrow night, regardless. Edit: I just looked at the game roster and Levi wasn’t listed as one of the goalies, so I wonder if he even made the trip.

Tired of watching crap hockey so one period is about all I can stomach tonight.

Don Stevens should probably hang up his microphone.

Now 2-1 Rocket just 4 minutes in. Might be a barnburner tonight.

Rousek with the quick answer and it’s 1-1.

Well, that didn’t take long. 27 seconds in and the Amerks already down 1 zip.

Somebody had to do it.

“We want players who wanna be here.”

Regarding the issue of “injury prone”, in the absence of a pre-existing condition, there really is no such thing.

Pretty much how I saw it as well. Sometimes when I watch the Amerks, I get the impression that not one player on the roster is gonna make a good NHL player.

Kulich is snake bit. I think he put a nice dent in the pipe when he hit it. Oh well. Crunch hang on for the 2-1 win.

Absolutely. He made several stellar stops and I’m not ragging on Levi at all. Score could be much worse as he’s kept the Amerks in the game. But none of that makes me feel any better about the one he should have had.

Crunch take the lead with .14 left in the 2nd. Sure, crappy D effort helped, but Levi should have had that.

PP ineptitude appears to be organization-wide.

Neuchev whiffs on a penalty shot.

Fluky pinball carom off of Levi’s back as the Amerks give up a shorthanded goal. 1 zip Crunch. Jobst with a tip and it’s 1-1 halfway thru the first.

The rapture.

You can say that again. You can say that again.

Has it ever happened that the two teams that met in the very first game of an NFL season also met in the very last game?

Is Donnie gonna give him those limited minutes with skilled offensive line mates or scrubs? And if he does give him higher skilled line mates, are those guys also seeing limited minutes as a result?

I hate to say it, but given what I’ve seen of Kulich so far in the A, his D game makes VO look like a Selke contender. He’s just not close to being ready for the show, imo.
