I was just about to post the same thought. Great win but the Ducks are a crap team. But we had to get right so let's build off this one.

Not to be melodramatic but this feels like they saved the season. If they crapped the bed again...

That is what they want you to think. That there are no legitimate sources for news. There are several excellent newspapers. The Guardian for example. News departments are supposed to be independent of management. But Sinclair dictates content to their local TV stations news programs. That is not kosher. Any media company that would do that is evil.

Bally has a deal with ESPN+ to air their pre- and post-game shows for their teams. (MSG has no such deal, hence...) Bally/Diamond is controlled by Sinclair Broadcasting. Google them when you have a moment. A company with a definite viewpoint with things like news and politics. I'm not shedding any tears over them.

He doesn't have to spend a long time in the minors, but he needs to take each step fully.

But you can also ruin someone by rushing their development. That's what I worry about. Then again maybe I shouldn't. Fans wanting Levi in the NHL next year aren't the people making that call.

The definition of one step forward (you hope) and two back.

Ryan was excellent in the Apple TV Christmas spoof of a Christmas Carol "Spirited" with Will Ferrell. A real song-n-dance man.

I just know how it goes when we have a "can't-miss" prospect.

When you say "credible" who are you referring to? Coaches? Media? Of course they won't. It's the fans who will overreact.

I know how we roll. If Levi gets blown out in an NHL game, likely more from the crap defense we 'll probably play in front of him, he will be labelled a bust. We do it to everybody who isn't perfect.

I just think our expectations of Levi will not match reality. I'm sure he will be great. I just don't want to see him rushed into the NHL because he dominated in college.

We aren't in the room so all we can do is guess.

How about a nice bag skate for last night's performance?

Okay. Slam dunk. I think its part of Kevyn Adams' desire to treat his players with some respect. He's not going to dump him unceremoniously just because the shiny new toy arrived.

They aren't going to discard him like Kleenex. He might retire early. But the whole reason he's here is to serve as a goaltending player/coach. Against college talent. Remember that.

Or Youppi takes his head off and it's Deadpool!

That's his partner in Wrexham. Of which I'm a customer.

That would be a horrible thing. No way he's going to be ready at 22 for the NHL. There's going to be a big adjustment just from college to the AHL. Heck, he may end up the ECHL for a while. (Assuming we don't trade him to Montreal first, lol.) He's 21. It takes goalies longer to get to NHL level. We aren't carrying 4 goalies.

They totally forgot how to play hockey.

Casey is having a game. 😕

That wasn't even a pass.

I was going to say they played well on defense at least. They are frustrating the Kings. We had a few decent chances but mostly it's been awkward. Does Don the hockey whisperer think a little unfamiliarity will get them to focus better?

Just Western trips.
