Doohickie

The article I cited previously, pointed out downsides to college players coming out of college and burning a year. Basically it said that if a player still needs development, the team is less likely to invest in that development if they have less time to develop him, and cited a few examples of college players who never were able to make the transition to the NHL. (If Johnson was 22 already this would be more of a concern because players who sign at 22 only get 2 years on their ELC, not three. Burn the first year and they go RFA after a year; if the team still isn't sure what they've got they're less likely to give them that second contract.)

DO OR DIE

fify. Frankly, like all ex-Sabres I don't really care too much about their careers once they're gone. And I have a Reino jersey. Not every goal scorer gets a BOOM!!! when they score, but Mitts does.

If he keeps doing this, I'm going to have to like him. I don't think he will. However, I hope he does, and I am willing to like him in return.

Positive.

If you're going to play a goalie back to back, one that just came out of college and used to playing consecutive games over a weekend is your best bet.

I think this is Playoff Mitts. I'm pretty sure this is Playoff Mitts.

I miss the commentary of Jim Lorentz.

They needed to score on the power play. Let's see if Devon can out-duel Igor.

Okposo in Tage's spot...

I'm hearing Taco. I'm hearing Paco. I know it's Kakko, but I'm just not hearing that out of Dunleavy.

Do we have any shots yet? 😄

Peterka's hungry

Well, for one shift there....

He got better.
