Amanda butchered Georgiev's name in that vid, are hard G's that hard to grasp?

 

[Tob]

Bring back Jim Cerny

 

[LORDE]

I didn't know that. Thank you sir!

Us southern dwellers have to look out for each other

 

[LORDE]

I hope they are not exhausted before the season start, because it looks like the intensity is near the roof level in the first two days of the camp.

Bullshit. I hope that camp is the worst plight they face all year.

Enough of the cream puffs. Come ready to play

Don't think we're in the clear yet though. Concussion symptoms may not show up for a few days.

The first concussion test they always give Mika is to spell his own last name. If he gets more than three letters wrong, they know there's a problem.

God no

Guy was a creep

He came out over the summer and said it as 'J'eorgiev. So she was right with a soft "G"....

When i woke up from a coma (3 weeks after i was in a car crash), i had a monstrous concussion. I couldn't even remember my own birthday, but for some twisted reason, i did remember my bank account number (12 digits).

lol...relax, only Zib's feelings got hurt.

That's terrifying! I hope you are fully recovered. Concussions have got to be one of the scariest injuries that anyone can suffer. They are tricky to diagnose and treat, and often have lingering effects for years after.

Thanx for that Suffered 2 hemorrhages, so it took some time before things got back to normal, but they did. Only after effect is thunderous headaches that i cant seem to get rid of. But i'll happily live with that

God no

Guy was a creep

the girl that replaced him is a bit creepy as well.

If we're going to start about the pronunciation of European names, we'd be debating for years. I'm still waiting for the first announcer to correctly pronounce Nyquist's name haha

Have to admit, I really enjoyed the Prentiss series on fitness and how they're using data to drive athletic conditioning. Super impressed by it.

I mentioned it before, teams have different advanced metrics than what's publicly available. One of the trends you'll see going forward is a focus on controlled carries... not just the amount, but by also who.

Guys with speed and low center of gravity. It's about puck control, and opening space in high scoring areas. Teams wanted to emulate the controlled carries the cup winning CHI teams had, but they did it on speed and Patrick Kane's skill. 99% of hockey players don't have that level of skill to open up ice after a controlled carry, but there are guys that can create that with speed.

Why the low center of gravity? To roll off checks, or to be able to maintain control while being checked. Goal is to open up diagonal lanes for higher quality scoring chances

Last year players that fit this profile dominated- Matt Barzal, Brayden Point. Another scored 75 points that no one expected- Vincent Trocek. Another had a career year- Phil Kessel. Another player became great out of nowhere- Brad Marchand. Watch Sebastian Aho light it up, he's another one. Keller, Zucker, Arvidsson. The game has changed, but the copycat league is what it is.

.

Maybe it should go in the roster building thread, but ‘This’.

BTW, saw that the SHL had implanted some tracking device that supposedly was used by 24 NHL teams.

Keep Jim Cerny away, he wasn't very good at his job and from what i've heard he's a pretty terrible person.

 

[CommaSynapse]

Degrees.

I most times write words good--I sware.

That said, I'm excited to see how our guys do in preseason tonight.

I learned Russian before I learned English and I can promise you there are no soft G's in Russian, he said that in order to make it easier on the media which says a lot about his character, he's a good kid but his name is sure as hell not Jeorjiev.

I get you, I'm just going off of what he said....

Its okay nothing is worse than NHL19 still calling Brady Skjei as Brady Sky

 

[romba]

Every coach in every league there is has been doing it since the beginning of time..

so much wrong with this I don’t even know where to begin.

I understand you want more toughness and grittiness but with all that’s come out in the past 10 years how can you even suggest there is anything positive about wanting to hide a serious injury with long term ramifications like a concussion??? And then justify it by saying hey everyone else is doing it?(which they no longer are)

Bumped on the ice?

120 mph?

I might change my username to Go Away Webster pretty soon...

My ignore list keeps growing but so is my enjoyment of this forum.

What was the point of that?

People were talking about Calamia quitting and Cerny was brought up so i gave my 2 cents.
