Why has it taken 20 years for someone to punk Marchand?

I'm just happy it was one of our guys.

Look who the poster children are for that tweet.  No surprise.  Among the forward ranks this will soon be their team.

Tuch hasn't been world beating but he has been improving since Game 1

Thompson always takes time to get going with goals; he was very active today and even threw his body around a few times. I'm concerned on Tuch's contractual future but to me Thompson isn't someone you touch, great contract and a great player.  

I hope your assessment is right.  I would love for them to be the veteran leaders of this young team.  I'm just not seeing it so far this season.

I heard the problem with Tuch's signing is length of contract.  They want to lock him up for as long as possible and he wants a shorter term.

Give Bensen a letter

I think the players that deserve letters, thinking of guys like Benson and Zucker, are just as effective as leaders without an extra jersey patch.  I think some day it will naturally fall on Benson, but as has been said in the past about other recent captains/assistants, let him grow into it; don't thrust it on him.

In the post game interview I thought Dahlin answered questions on Marchand and this scrum with class and respect.

Paraphrasing his remarks at the end of the interview:  "JJ who?"

Lyon is hanging in there in goal

I know the reaction to acquiring Lyon wasn't too strong/favorable, but when I heard we got him I was pretty excited.  I'm not sure he's a long term answer but he certainly has shored up the position for now.
