  1. Haha bad phrasing on my part, I meant the King's are better than decent, i.e. a team a worse than them could have Nolan be a good 3rd liner.

     

    He plays on their 4th line right now.

    Here he goes by NS, but when leaving the Siberian Russian spy training grounds, his code name was......The Instigator....

  2. Not yet to England...

     

    If I remind you of someone:

     

    a.) Stop frequenting that establishment, as you should not associate with those types, you will be corrupted.

     

    b.) Seek a good mental health provider , the damage may be reversible, but it's a costly treatment.

     

    c.) If a and b are unsuccessful , Vodka, lots and lots of Vodka. It won't cure anything, just helps you forget.

     

    It's probably a good thing if he has never had a girl friend turn and look at him and say.. I'm late.

     

    Of coarse, at that age the boys response is... late for what?

  3. http://www.theplayerstribune.com/miracle-on-ice-hockey-russia/

     

    Awesome article from Igor Larionov. Talks about how coaches restrict player creativity because of aversion to turnovers and the like. Also some about how awful it seems to have been a red army player back in the day.

    Wouldn't it be great to see the NHL adapt the theory of the USSR teams. The flow, skating, and playmaking are so much fun to watch.

     

    But as I sit here writing this GMTM is hopefully building a Stanley Cup contender, and his model is the L.A. Kings, the antithesis of that article.

  4. Looks like we'll need a miracle to pull one out tonight.

     

    Miracle on Ice anniversary, we all become Soviets/Russians overnight, we're in a season where we want to lose, in a thread where winning = losing, the Sabres get a 3rd string and Edmonton loses a star....maybe can pull off our own deranged Miracle on Ice 

      Just to get in the spirit I'm going on Netflix to watch Rocky IV and root for Ivan to beat Rocky, for the second time.

     

     What are we to chant now .... USSR, Russia ? Where's NS when you need him? 

  5. Nolan was trying to keep last game's pairing together... maybe put Zad on the wing for the first period, just for fun.

     

    On a line with Cody Hodgson....

     

    One of them has already checked out for the season, the other might just be late, but who will get yanked from the line up for next game?....

  6. So, you think that's funny Mr. Smarty Pants.

     

    Well, you are now known as ...

     

    Вудс-гонщик

    Thought for sure you where giving me a name from a history book, maybe a Senator from the 1950's from Wisconsin, as you seem well versed in these things... and love to fun with history...

     

    But all my friends just call me ...  гонщик           ;)

  7. He doesn't play the power play, kill penalties, shutdown the opposition when we need to protect a lead, create offence when we need a goal, provide a jolt of energy when the game turns stale, or stand up for his teammates when they start getting pushed around.

     

    What role did you have in mind for him?

     

    I can't say as he has ever done any of that, and yet, he would see 10 plus TOI. Against the Pred 4:35 ish TOI. What was so amazingly different?

  8. Didn't get to watch much of the game last night, but did notice that Cody had almost a season low on ice time. Was he that bad? He went from 10-12 minutes a game to less than five against the Preds, or was it game circumstances?
