    Sound reasoning, I'm in. Where are we going?

    Good post and fair points. I would quibble with the characterization that Moulson was brought in for veteran leadership. I think he was actually thought to be a contributor at about a 20/20/ pace. I have been critical of Gionta and Moulson for the most part but I am of the school that doesn't value veteran leadership that much. Where I give those guys kudos is for there ability to teach, primarily through example, of the little things that go largely unnoticed that are critical to making the transition. In the Tampa game, Gionta made a play where he knew the line was gassed and held the puck a tad longer then feathered it over the Bolts blueline to facilitate the change. This allowed Moulson who was on the far side to get off rather than have to challenge to the puck and get further gassed. Two shifts later Samson did the same thing after two other times firing it in and allowing the Bolts to grab possession turn up ice and attack the zone while the change was still going on. On Foligno's goal Legwand could have banged the puck up the boards where Tampa was two deep and essentially turn it over. Rather he also held it another split second and made the cross ice pass safely after the backchecker was in no position to intercept it. I have noticed Jack, Samson and McCabe all mature with the way hold the puck and don't slap at it to move it anywhere instead of to a place where we can get it back or defend on the transition. These are minor things but I think are being mimicked after watching the veterans.

    Which one?

    He needed the money? I think keeping it simple with Jack lights the lantern. In 10 years little kids will think the Jack o latern was named after him.

    I think it is official, we are tough to play against.

    I think it was "second best, maybe not." Which is huge for him.

    That was fun. I could get used to this.

    Wow Ocho!

    Ok I will give credit where due, Helluva pass by Leggy!

    Agreed. At the NHL level, my point is that already great players are that much better.

    He's up there with OEL and Boedker

    What the lazy comment? That was a meme around here during the worlds. He is a doofus but he can't think of anything else negative other than he put that in the rearview.

    It is the same principle as loading a steel golf shaft vs a graphite one. It takes less overall skating and balance ability to load a composite than wood. Thus the skill level required to load it and be accurate with it is less. The danger to goaltenders is that shots across the board are better and the goalie has less reaction time. I will look for the article I read but this came from the Hawks equipment manager as well. Great shooters get little to no benefit while poorer shooters become better.

    Samson has a gift for seeing plays out of his field of vision. It is almost like he processes the field and knows someone behind him is the option.

    I think the old cliche is appropriate, the game is slowing down for him. He has had patience with the puck and made some good plays.

    Legwand has got to stop taking penalties in our zone

    I can get behind this...Jackyll

    Quid pro quo. NHLPA will raise safety with regard to GT equipment size. Remove the sticks and you undercut that argument to a large extent. The ting about the new sticks is that you dont have to be that good to create a hard heavy shot. Some beer leaguers who couldn't lift a shot with a wood stick can put it where momma hides the cookies with the new one piecers
