    Interesting. Is it electric? And is there a practical reason behind its profile (physical design)?

    They definitely played with some jump. But they also played with some puck luck. Two posts and a crossbar. Still couldn’t score, even with intense pressure and doubling up shots. Another early penalty - at 0:22 of the first. Another careless double minor high stick - Boldy. That said, 4-4 on...

    You are on a roll! Turkey of the Year, now this?! Hats off to thee, @Ope3. Now, who will Guerin trade - you know he ain’t done….Hartman?

    Can't say I'm surprised. I like Evason. He has a toughness I like. But their special teams play has been subpar since he started and abysmal this season. The power play relies WAY TOO MUCH on blasting shots from the outside and is quite predictable. Watching the NJ Devils school us on their...

    Yeah, he's had 10 subpar games. That never happens to athletes. Cut him. :rolleyes:

    Quick question

    What I want to know is why they call it “the paint.”

    4 possessions.

    He uses the D end of the floor to justify the decision. But that does nothing to explain why, with 9 seconds remaining and we have possession, down 2, he isn't in the game. Defense isn't the concern at that point. Pretty difficult for me to understand that decision. Those final two offensive...

    Quick question

    I think it has to do with deep penetration in the paint?

    Not the same as others, though. Dozens of Grade A scoring chances. Just couldn’t get it over the red line. Lots to like about the game. Kaprizov with a goal and assist, and lots of star quality play. Also one horrible play that gave away a breakaway and a back-breaking goal. He needs to stop...

    I wouldn’t give up just yet on this team. (Not saying you are.) Boldy has looked great in his two games back. Kaprizov will produce- I like the new look of him with Rossi (who, I agree, is buzzing out there) and Boldy. Foligno needs to play better. Right now, he’s good for a strong hit, but not...

    Their PK is really bad. That said, we need to copy New Jersey’s power play approach. It’s all about redirects.

    Kaprizov -3, Zuc -2, Hartman -2 - those guys need to play better D Brodin and Faber also both -2, but also 1 & 3 in TOI.

    Brock Faber is arguably our best defenseman at this point. He led the team last night in Time on Ice for the 4th time in 6 games. He was +2 last night and is +4 on the season. With Spurgeon missing significant time, Faber picking up right where he left off last season - when he immediately...

    Roper ripping on his wife, then smirking at the camera was classic.

    Tour of Spain (La Vuelta) - Bicycling

    I sent your post to a buddy who lives and breathes this stuff. His response: Ya, internal team politics. Primos is a really good rider, a champion of several grand tours. And champions like to win. The biggest issue is, if Primos wants to race Tour, he’ll need to go to another team. Jonas has...

    Coco played an incredible match. Sabalenka has such a powerful game and her power is supercharged when she can play inside the baseline with relentless pressure on her opponent. But Coco adjusted well and put more depth on her shots, keeping Sabalenka behind the baseline, where she was more...

    Yeah, no clue if anyone is hacked off. I do know that due had struck out 4 times in 4 PAs until he hit that homer. Could have been more about that than anything.
