  1. I would say that Hodgson is very likely to be a solid #2 center who will facilitate and in tandem improve his wingers' output.

     

    Kassian on the other hand has the potential to be a 1st line winger but his work ethic is questionable at best.

     

    Hodgson is a smaller risk while Kassian could become a larger reward.

     

    My question would be ...... How would Kassian do under Nolan's system which contradicts his work but compliments his skills

    Not the biggest Cody fan, but I've never seen anything in Kassian's game that even sniffs first line potential
  2. Depressed? Oh, wahhh!!! My attitude towards Leino is like that espoused by Gen. Ennis C. Hawkes in the 1955 film "Strategic Air Command" , when after an air-force base failed a surprise security drill conducted by the General's troops, he unsympathetically informed the Base Commander - " Don't tell me about your little problems! I'm only interested in results!"

    Depression isn't something to just brush off and joke about. I sincerely hope for Ville's sake that this isn't a problem with him.
  3. And now you are 0 for 2 at avoiding a troll post. :D

    :P I really don't think it's trolling.

    Well, there have been many Miller defenders who have pointed out over the last year that I was "off base" in pointing out his lack of shutouts in nearly 2 years.

     

    Let's see... the usual excuses that I've been countered with are....

     

    Well, he's got a poor line in front of him

     

    He's faced a lot of shots

     

    He faced high quality teams

     

    The "NO" buzzer sounds loudly in front of all these traditional excuses. I think his inability to deliver a shut-out in all of these games is an important metric - it indicates either a lack of focus, attitude, hunger, desire, an erosion of ability or some mix of the aforementioned.

    But Miller's GAA is 1.00. Quick's is only 1.50. Clearly, the stats show us who should play the rest of Team USA's games, no?
  4. I dunno. It got a response. I'd call the trolling attempt rather successful, no?

    well I didn't see it in the other thread until after I posted, but it didn't get an impressive response in this one, I don't think. Weak sauce, either way.
  5. I almost thought Miller was going to get a shut-out this morning. it was against a sub-par Slovenian team, but it would have been his first shutout since March of 2012.

     

    Nope, he couldn't do it - not even with only 18 shots on goal. Pretty much confirms my opinion that Miller has gone substantially downhill.

    If this is a trolling attempt...it's a rather bad one. If this is a real hockey opinion...it's a rather bad one.
  6. I was at AccelCare in Henrietta on Jefferson Road. Hope whatever brought you there is doing better today!

     

     

    haha d4rk was referencing this episode last night. I've never seen it. Changing that now :) I'm slathered in calamine at the moment. They gave me some fun chalky horse pill that'll kill it from the inside, too.

    Ah, I was on Transit. Hope you get better quickly as well!

     

    First complaint was that the snow plows had knocked two feet of snow into the entrance, so when we turned in, we were stuck for 20 minutes or so, even with people pushing. Not the best place for something like that to happen. We did end up being lucky however, I was taking two close friends who rolled their car without seatbelts on, to get checked out, and all was clear. Very very grateful for that.

  7. I have chicken pox.

     

    I don't know how. I had the vaccine as a kid. Never had them before.

    I felt truly awful last week and thought it was just a flu bug that wouldn't end. Then the spots appeared the day I got into my car accident. I thought it was ringworm from working with infected rescue cats over break. I finally couldn't take it any longer last night and it took two incredulous doctors at urgent care to confirm that yes, I have chicken pox. AND ringworm, as previously suspected.

     

    Holy crap I am an itchy bitch right now. It's like a swarm of mosquitoes descended upon me and turned me into a spotted, itching plague vector.

     

    Between that, still not knowing if my car is totaled or not and some local insane dude running around the area with an assault rifle last night and this morning, I'm ready for a change in luck. Still a light complaint in the grand scheme of things. But urgh.

    Which Urgent Care was it? We might have crossed paths...
  8. The Sabres have lost 21 of 26 games, Sabres fans know first hand, there's nothing funny about losing.

     

     

    The Sabres are being out shot by an average of 10.7 shots per game. They may have not been out shot 17-0 in a single period, there have been some that felt like it.

    Misery loves company, then, maybe? Cause I'm still laughing. :P
