Doohickie

Benson's just a dawg on a bone.

This power play passing as been pathetic.

I had the NYKTROTS once. Thank goodness for Immodium.

Sorry for the lack of goal memes last night. I'm doing some work in my family room and when I moved my computer desk the computer fell off and hit the floor pretty hard, and wouldn't boot up. In house tech support (my son) figured it out and got it going again.

I want to see him at the NHL level. Not sure if he's capable but he's worked hard for the opportunity.

Another fine example.

Description, not explanation: The NHL has 13 games today, 6 at 3 pm ET. No, but that's normal for me.

Here's what I think: Lindy's line shuffling didn't work. And I'm disappointed that he didn't switch things up as the game went on.

I don't wanna hear about your kinks.

Nope. Don't even know what it spells.

FYI, Joki came from the Blackhawks org.

And depth just who is playing on the fourth line. It's also how good are the players that have to move up in the depth chart. Also, how good do the callups do... and where are they placed in the lineup. We have several Americans that are ready for callup to play in the middle six.

To be honest... yes.

New rule: Once the linesman drops the puck it's a valid faceoff. Period.

That fourth and That fourth and two run... just wow.

Possibly frustration with Lindy's system until he figured it out? Or maybe frustration with the rest of the team for not grasping what seemed obvious to him?

The impressive part is how integral McLeod and Zucker have become to this team in such a short time. They make the players around them better and have helped implement Lindy's system.

Frying pan -> fire.

I think they tried a game (or part of a game) with Zucker along with Cozens and Quinn. I like the idea, but I don't think it was successful that game.

The big knock against Power is that he doesn't use his size in a physical way. But he uses the wingspan defensively and is getting better positionally. Nick Lidstrom was never very physical; he was always just in the right spot. He didn't make the big hits or the amazing plays because he didn't have to. I kind of see Power's game evolving that way. He doesn't make the highlight reel play, he just makes the good play. When he misses the play, a lot of the time it's because he got caught out of position, and he's getting better in that respect.
