Night Train

Still think Frazier is gone because of Beane. He drafts 2 guys in the 1st ( Oliver, Rousseau ) and 2 in the 2nd ( Epenesa, Basham ). Can't keep drafting DL with less than expected progress/results. It's also a shot across the bow to McDermott.

The light is getting dimmer . It's down to 15 watts.

VO cannot be on this team next year. I see him on the ice all too often for goals against. Ice cold scoring. He can sit. JJP is just young and has hit a wall. No issues with him going to Rochester to sharpen his game.

Utterly bizarre. I do not blame the coaches. It's in the players heads. Acquiring some more players with grit during the off-season can help. Too late this season. Teams still try to run them and it does affect their play. They also tend to pinch deep too much at home and get caught. That's a major issue when your goaltending is still a work and many forwards don't play a good D game. Still too much floating.

He always seems snakebit. A bundle of nerves ? Hustles, little question.. but the puck seems to roll up his stick or he just loses it when he's open. Some players struggle badly to finish and he sticks out. When you have a high number of promising young forward coming up in the next year or 2, you only have so much time to see if he comes around. or his only hope is to be dropped to the 4th line to be the next KO or Girgs.

Could care less either way but this looks like a big nothing burger with a created narrative.

When is his contract up ? Then we'll know how the GM feels about him.

Called a rodeo last night.

Then call it in real time.

They were offsides.

Call the live action ! Quit telling stories ! WTF ???

So color guy Brian Boucher talks during 75% of the live action, instead of the play by play man. I take it there's a bong in the control truck.

Color guy keeps talking instead of the play by play guy. Shut up.

Crap call. Hold.

RIP. Feeling old . Was at Rich Stadium for Superfest in June 1977. Starz, Ted Nugent. Lynyrd Skynyrd and Blue Oyster Cult.

There's little to no reporting anymore. It's mostly Op/Ed's. Mini lectures and sermons. Anything to get more eyes these days. He basically saw a team that did nothing for 10+ years recently. That will harden even the most positive, I suppose.

Verizon Fios - Local - Most all the games (MSG) except the streamers like tonight. Local Sports bars will have the game.
