I agree that he isn't long for Hartford. As I said in my game report he made several nice plays but then didn't show the quickness to do anything with it. I wonder if because the rinks are bigger in Europe that some very good European hockey players never have to learn to play with quickness necessary for North American hockey. Perhaps Ola or Amazing K can weigh in on that idea.
He has a reduced role and sat out a few games. I'm honestly shocked they haven't agreed on a mutual termination so he can go back home.

I join with everyone else in wishing you the best in dealing with your father's death. 72 is too young these days. But my father died 3 years ago at almost 93 and it still is painful.

Regarding your teenager I can only say that my two boys acted the same when they were teenagers but as they matured they came to understand the importance of family and we are very close. I expect and hope you will have the same experience. There is an old joke about the man who who says that he realized one day that the older he got the smarter his father became. You just have to get them through the teenage years.
That's great, do as much as you can. I lost my dad two months ago and even though he was 72, there was still so much I wanted to do with him. I see things every day, and think, "I wish Pop was here so we could do/see/discuss that."

Of course my teenager doesn't want to do anything with anyone other than his friends. :laugh:

When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years."--Mark Twain.

My older daughter is going to be 16. Her boyfriend's father just died on Sunday, while tailgating at the Giants game. Guy was 51. Talk about heartreak.
 
Finally, been waiting to see him get into some games and it couldn't come at a better time. Hajek is slumping and Staal is gonna Staal, so let's hope it's a pit stop to the NHL.

Was thinking this the other day. Really hoping he takes off and forces a swap with Hajek. Hajek could use some time in Hartford, if anything just to motivate him to play smarter with the puck.
 
Maybe we can send Gropp with him. And Crawley can drive them.
As more and more of the draftees from the last several years (and this one) come over, these are the type of players who will be phased out.

Rykov missed a lot of time. It might be a long and difficult road back to where he's in discussion for the roster spot on the Rangers.
 
I can’t believe Day can’t stick on this team with his talent level. Amazing.

I don’t expect to see the Rykov we were hoping to see before the season started. This injury has been brutal and it’s going to take significant time for him to get up to speed while transitioning to the AHL game. Tough one. Guy I thought was neck and neck with Hajek and ahead of Lindgren coming in.
 
I just wonder what the heck is going on with Sean Day? Does he not realize if he doesnt get it together he is gonna be in the KHL soon if he is lucky.

He is just not a very talented hockey player, and he especially is the wrong guy at he wrong time. I know some that has been tremendously high on him, but I don’t think he gives you what you want as a coach. If tried to explain it way back and failed, but I am not surprised at all that he is cut at the AHL level.

Like for me he is just the complete opposite to what coaches opts for right now. And that is not to trash him completely, but it’s so much of a thinking game, it’s so much about being able to react fast and cover — short — distances fast and so forth. Day can cover long distances fast, but he isn’t overly smart or quick etc.

Maybe there can be some positive side effects to this, with everyone being a bit more patient with things.

He have been able to study the game in the AHL the last months and listen to the coaches etc.
