Did foligno play tonight ?

LOL! He led the team in faceoff wins, set up a couple nice plays in the offensive zone and that's about it

Milano had a very solid debut

Good to hear.

 

[EDM]

Hearing that Milano looked good is very encouraging to me. That makes the rest of the game worthwhile. If Bork and sonny are legit, then we have some real offensive talent in the system.

By the way, what has happened to Bork? After that flashy first game I have not read much about him on this board.

Bjorkstrand was very noticeable along the boards last night. He's so strong on the puck despite his size. He's going to be a good winger if he can continue to put on some muscle and shoot the puck on net.

So, I just found out that Playstation Vue has FS:O. I think I will sign up for the free trial and watch and probably keep it for next year.

The 30 dollar package has FSO?

They both ( Milano and Bjork) are young and talented, but their style is so different. Looks like Bjork likes to play physical Jackets style hockey, he goes into contact, needs more muscles as You said. Milano with his scating without problem avoids any contact/collision, he is pure scater with high IQ has good speed and easily makes " spaces" for partners, sure he needs muscles also, needs more confidence. Milano played well today.

Anyway pleasure to watch their game, same I can say about Murray - Jones pair, I like more and more this duo.

Prout, he makes physical presence, it's important component that we can't underestimate.

The $35 package it looks like. It says Fox Sports Network...I am assuming that means FS:O as FS1 and FS2 are spelled out separately.

I agree, that's why I was shocked to see Porty offhandedly write "That's one of the reasons maybe Murray and Jones can't thrive together", referring to their mutual tendency to rush the puck.

I saw those two have a few bad games together about a month ago. That's it. So when did it become official wisdom that they can't thrive together?

Well if it comes from AP, I'm not sure I would call it wisdom. AP is a beat writer and not to be confused with someone that can evaluate talent and on ice performance. I cringe with a lot of what he says in his QA thing he does. I'm not saying I'm qualified, but I know my limits.
