Yes. Some of these kids get the yips. Power is one of them. If Adams would get a steady veteran βstay at home defensive defensemanβ he would help the team, and he would help Power.
Another stupid rule. Go back to the old game. Make icing part of the game.
Guys who beat out an icing call add excitement. A goalie that can use his stick and counter him, adds excitement.
Marty is talking about Butch Goring. Ex-Islander. Talk about a guy that was hard to play against. He was painful and he really raised his game in the playoffs. Part of their 4 straight Cup winning teams.
Hard workers are easy to get behind. Most of the vets that Adams has acquired either were washed (Eric Johnson) or not interested in helping us (Hall and Stahl). Zucker has been refreshing.
I can see giving McLeod some extra shifts with the 4th line fast wings, guy put him with Kulich and Benson, they are better finishers, and could benefit from his experience.
