Mr Peabody

Let’s see if the Oilers play keep away on their PP. PP coach needs to be the post game interview tonight.

You have got to be kidding me. Shoot!!’

They got roasted on XM NHL radio today. Boomer and Jake couldn’t for the life of them understand what the plan is.

What little I’ve read says he’s good a puck possession which is exactly what we need more of.

3 shoulder surgeries? Hope we get that checked before finalizing.

Is that how the Devils are doing so well without palm trees?

Rob about to lose it on these guys. Wish he could say what he feels

If it was my billions I’d at a minimum bring in a POHO. The question I can’t answer is who that would be.

Nice interview with Tage. Usually not much said in these; refreshing change.

Didn’t see that coming. I dread pulling the goalie this year

Globetrotter weave but alas no shots on goal

Would love to watch him on a driving range.

I’ve done a Ctrl-Alt-Del on the season ytd and expect solid, hustling hockey from now to April! Go Sabres.

As good as he was here, his D was no where near what it is today. His play in the Four Nations validates the generational moniker he was labeled / cursed with. He’s worth the price of admission . The wife and I bought those “I’m just here to see Jack” T shirts although in full disclosure we bought them right before our trip to see our grandson Jack.

Good points and I’ll give a couple real world examples I’ve seen. In the early to mid 70’s the Amerks had a d man - Harry Shaw? - who would slide and attempt to block everything. He was a fan favorite - they’d yell Harr-Eee after every block. His goalie wasn’t so enamored as he claimed Harry was obstructing his view. Dial ahead 40 years and Syr Crunch had a d man named Dan Smith who would do anything to win, including blocking shots. Teammates and goalies alike loved his play and I believe he was made captain and wasn’t nearly the most talented guy on the team. I think a lot of these shot blockers lead by example by putting themselves in harms way for the sake of the team. How can you not notice the commitment? (Where have we heard that word before?) I was listening to the Stars beat reporter and he raved on what a pleasant surprise and important piece Lybushkin is to their team this year. He’s also top 10 in blocks. Lastly, if the shot is truly blocked it didn’t go in the goal.
