Weave

I like the concept of it. We’ll see if EJ has it in him right now.

Me either. He doesn’t strike me as the ultra intense type. Don’t know that I see that trait anywhere on this roster.

It hurts because it is true.

It’s not that Power isn’t punishing (although I would certainly welcome that). It is that Power seems to actively avoid contact. You rarely see him wedge players off at the wall. He seldom puts a shoulder into a forward in the corner or behind the net. And he doesn’t engage physically in front of the net. He is content to defend at arm and stick length. It seriously limits his effectiveness as a defender. Would I love to see Pronger 2.0? You betcha. But we aren’t even seeing Tony Lydman 2.0. If he doesn’t learn to use the body he has, he’ll never be the 2nd pairing guy we sorely need.

Please, no.

That would explain Pegula’s attraction to KA. Pegula has been described on these pages as a rube by several, myself and likely you included.

Hope its not concussion related. Tyson Jost, we hardly missed ya.

I cannot imagine Iran really believed that a proxy war using Houthi’s would be successful in any way. I wonder their endgame?

We had a sociopath for an owner. That didn’t work either.

This is why I was vehemently against going with a young, unproven roster. You have to get the core expecting to win, and learning to win right away. The fundamental flaw of the last 12 years had been a continued plan to have the kids carry the play and not supplying them with enough proven performers that can pick up the load when the kids inevitably falter. You can’t have this many young players AND have enough proven vets to back them up.

I’m not so sure anymore.

It’s the gift that keeps on giving, Clark.

This is the ultimate risk of not having a “win now” plan. Good players are not going to be as patient as our front office.

And this is exactly gow I expected it to go down when preseason was wrapping up. We’d run a 3 headed monster until the first of either, 1 goalie claims the starting roll, or the lineup got healthy enough to require it. We hit the second one first.

The good game - bad game trend doesn’t bode well for tonight.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Toronto grabbed Comrie regardless. They have nothing to lose.

Both of these were my first two thoughts. I am curious of other examples of an AHL coach on the bench as the head coach for a short term interim. I would have thought that an NHL assistant would get that nod in most instances.

Brilliant.

Not sure, but I think it is spelled Cheques.

Benson is doomed.

As if there was ever any doubt…

Not again. Still.

You get coal.
