What does it say about my sophistication (or current level of inebriation) if I found this thoroughly enjoyable?

Goal scorer's goal

Perhaps the style of play Ruff preaches resonates with Greenway's natural strengths.

This is a positive thing. If they keep it up, the goals will come.

Couldn't that be serious? Some vital organs where he took that blatant cross check

And Power learned how to play a 2 on 1!!!!

On the optimistic side, as an acknowledgement/affirmation of the leaders on the team, those leaders may feel even more empowered to step up what they bring on and off the ice. A vote of confidence from a new coach can't be a bad thing.

Not in our conference

Someone close to me works for another team's FO, and he said they've been trying to pry Kulich from us for a long time. Shows why. I'm glad they didn't! I missed this one, but I hope Kulich makes the team, and hope he plays tonight because I can't watch the Monday one.

?Bad teammate:

I still like John

What would the effect on junior and/or NCAA hockey be? It seems like it could have a big effect there (as would changing the draft age to 20, but I only see that suggested in this thread, not elsewhere...). Are there parties lobbying for this?

I think the point is that making the argument that something is idealistically the "wrong reason" doesn't prove that it isn't a significant factor in the real world

I think that if UPL's "last half of the season" (uh-oh, now Tage flashbacks) is who UPL is for the foreseeable future, we will be lucky if Levi reaches that level. I think he can. I am a big fan of the idea of Levi starting for Rochester, and getting called up for games whenever UPL needs a night off.

He's waiting at the bar for him with Doug Whaley and Tim Murray
