You can get a decent monitor for around a 100 bucks. 24 to 27 inches of real estate will look pretty good. I use a Roku stick to stream to my HDTV so it works for me. I will also say that NHL on an Ipad looks stunning.

He might have looked at the lineup and saw he was stuck with Evander and ran to get his special pen.

The problem I have with that line of thinking is 1) Kyle didn't perform for us when he was "underpaid" and 2) he will be overpaid in two years when his lack of speed makes him the next Matt Mo. You pay your home grown 2OA budding star for potential. If it doesn't work your in Daigle territory. I don't think we are headed there.

In related news Zemgus Girgensens sent to Rochester until after practice tomorrow. Nobody recalled.

The assist on the one where he dekes the goalie and finds the cutter was as pretty as the first goal.

It is not that you are consciusly worried, but rather your body is telling you something is out of balance. Subconsciously you know you are in the show and the stakes are real. As Wild says it is highly unlikely that the worst case scenario comes to pass, but you may not be treating your health with the same diligence as your studies. Proper sleep, food, exercise, diversion all matter in keeping that even keel.

Stress is real. During my former life I would be "on the clock" so to speak 24/7 when I had a case going to trial. The fact that your clients fortunes rested in your ability and preparation can wind you into knots. You are in a similar place but your "client" is yourself. Often the best remedy is physical activity. Something to distract the mind and excercise the rest of your body. I played beer league hockey and swam. As you realize you are making progress, In my case a few wins, the anxiety lessens but never disappears. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. Get outside, leave the phone or computer at home. Walk, run, bike whatever makes you happy and isn't another test. And eat as well as you can. Just my $.02

Jack is not trash defensively. His problem is consistency. When he wants to ala the TO vs Matthews, he can shut down any of the top Cs in the league. When the puck drops for real we will see if he is committed to doing that consistently. I put little stock in the preseason as I think it was an exercise in self preservation.

Or,that ROR will be what he was at 26?

10/7 vs Minn Duluth. Ice Breaker tourney with Mich Tech and Union.

I think he has the same upside as ROR at center and I think ROR on Jack's wing would be unstoppable. Sam is 21. That is the long play.

Or ROR is Jack's wing.

I was there to begin with. But listening to this board talk about Jack being a liability on defense and not having the right attitude, it makes sense to put him in a position to free lance with speedsters to help get get back defensively. If Griffith has any ability to fiinish he will do, and Girgs is a decent defensive player and above average at possession. My concern with Kane is the Housley is preaching a shoot at all costs mentality which Evander will take to like a duck to water. I'd rather he do it with Sam in front and Pominville cleaning up scraps.

Weissbach had 2 in his opener. Nice to have the Big Ten network this year.

Nope. Only one puck. I also think playing Girgs and Erod/Griffith would be better defensively as well.

Swap Girgs and Kane and it might work.

He is fine if you put him with Sam on the third line, but he will not be a factor with Jack and Kane. Poulliot is hot garbage.

Passenger not a driver and 5 million to boot. Its bad enough we have Moulson at 5 possibly spending the season in street clothes, we add another 3/4th liner at 5 million. Scandella better be the second coming of Mike Ramsay for the trade to be worth it. Right now it looks like Kulikov 2.0. Never been a Pominville fan, especially at this late stage of his career.

And Poulliot and Pominville.

You win the internet today in my book. I was going say Peca but you nailed it.

Please let this happen.

He is new, shiny. But I have seen the things that as a coach would cause me to bench him in a crucial situation, i.e. playoffs. Has at least one brain cramp a game that cause WTF comments.

Seriously this seems like the place to start.

I bet management is eying acquisitions for the Bowl You wing.
