Oettinger is stopping everything and Power thinks a backhand muffin to his catching glove has a chance. At least he hit the net.

99.9% of shots that miss the net don’t go in.

Outplaying the Stars, just need to cash in. 20 minutes to bury two.

I thought KA was going to get a guy like Pesce this past summer. He was a guy I really wanted and the type of Dman you talk about.

Trade for him and immediately assign him to Rochester, saying he’s too young. See if his attitude changes.

I like the Mitts line. Benson is a drop off from Quinn on that line but Cozens was starting to improve and JJP has been good. KO will have a hard time on that line, wanting to go north south while TNT goes east west trying to dangle through 5 guys. At least KO cares about D play. 4th line is OK, better Robinson than VO for that role.

It didn’t sound like Calgary was going to be able to re-sign Lindholm. They got a good haul for him, he’s past his prime. Vancouver is in the playoffs already but Lindholm could be a piece that allows them to go deeper. Can’t fault them for getting the jump on the other teams for an impact player. Lindholm is past his prime now so he may not be worth a long term deal.

Maybe Casey needed a break from the guys. Rasmus is at the ASG. I bet a few others are doing their own thing, TNT and Tuch may not go with newborns.

We got him, we got Matt Irwin back!

I heard 7 or 8 last year as well, not sure if there is not enough evidence or they have an alibi.

Disgusting comments from people trying to sweep this away. I’d like to add that the girl apparently agreed to sex with the one guy but him inviting/letting others join in was where everything went wrong. Also, this wasn’t during the tournament, it happened in London, Ontario during a summertime fund raising event. The whole team was not there.

Sounds like Levi is starting this game.

They could use refreshed TNT, Tuch and Mule. Their health has been so-so all season.

Hockey Canada was the organization covering this up. The money they used to pay people off came from grassroots hockey families.

Well, good teams often keep their coaches a long time but everyone seems to wear out their welcome at some point. The example that pops into my head are the Red Wings. They won Cups under taskmaster Bowman. He gets replaced by player’s coach Dave Lewis, who inherits a good team but fails to win. Taskmaster Babcock brings them back to their winning ways. Maybe poor teams do this more. A guy like Torts gets a lot out of his players but they get worn out by his methods. GMs then try to smooth things out by bringing in a “good guy”.

Many teams go back and forth between taskmasters and player’s coaches once they tire of one type.

The KA filter applied to 1st round draft lists.

S**t, get well kid.

I don’t want to move on from Quinn. His scoring pace may be 58 pts but this guy has some upside. He would be higher than that pace if he was on PP1, where I think he should be,replacing Skinner. Quinn has more elements to his game than Skinner and JJP plus he can PK.

Lidstrom would be a good addition. He fits the power forward profile. I am a draft junkie but I know that once again whoever is chosen will not have an impact on the Sabres for a few years. KA has to find leadership and grit via another route to get this team in the playoffs next season.

Like all utilities around North America, there is only one circuit running in front of your home that you can connect to. There may be options for delivery but they are all buying from the one company that owns the wires. Grid ties in Ontario are not the greatest. The transmission system is fairly robust but is geared to provincial supply. We have lines that tie into Quebec, Manitoba, New York, Michigan and Minnesota but they lack the ability to supply more than a fraction of the demand. Quebec could be a great supplier but they prefer to sell their huge surplus of electricity to the US. Many of those transmission voltages are not compatible with other provinces.

Straight lines, play direct and compete. Whatever, just shoot the puck and go hard to the net.

We can hope that Carolina collapses in the playoffs and the owner wants a change. Brind’Amour would be a good acquisition, Pegula should pay up if he has the chance.

I agree, he and Goodrow, Colton, Hagel, Maroon, Perry, Coleman, Gourde, Jeannot have kept their bottom 6 gritty with some skill. These guys have the ability to move up the lineup and help on special teams. Paul and Goodrow played junior in North Bay, I watched them a lot, and have met Nick.

I am happy as long as I don’t have to watch him play.
