My dad had hip surgery a year ago, and still has some leg and back pain as well. After getting up for 6-7 goal celebrations in quick succession, I feel rather confident that he said, "F#@% it!" and stayed in his seat for that 8th goal....Probably just put his arms up.

Hartman on PP1? Well...looks like it works. Look out Boldy.

This feels like our Stanley cup !!!!

I know it was a PP, but weak goal to give by Fleury.

I know it was a PP, but weak goal to give by Fleury.

He's just trying to make it close to entertain the fans.

Scoreboard watching... Looks like the big boys are playing tonight.

Got ambushed by a Billy G spot on the radio sound. Time to go and crash the bed.
Leaving you to reel it in. Later, folks.

Lambos had been playing solid until that shift. Peart is showing a lot of positives, still needs pro experience, but lots to like IMO. Heidt with a couple of good moments, but otherwise feel like he has been kept to the outside most of the night and could use some more cooking time.

Flailing Fleury giving them up left and right now.

I'm expecting big things from Xgren tonight

Keeping in mind that it's a very small sample size, and that regular players have a massive advantage because they are playing with teammates that they have history, and chemistry with, while most of these prospects have none of that going for them;

-Marat started off a bit rocky, but then was excellent. I think he's ready to play the role Freddy did 2-3 years ago. Hope he gets a few chances at #3C over Gaudreau.

- Haight near invisible

- Heidt... I was pleased to see that he's reasonably fast, his quick hands translate, and that he makes good decisions on the ice. Having said that, he didn't do anything that would make me give him a spot on the team, though i do think that he could do ok in the AHL...too bad he can't play there.

- Jones had a nice goal, but i don't see him making the team. Not enough there, there.

- Bankier and Walker did some ok things, but not enough. Would like to see how Bankier progresses sometime around Christmas.

- XGrin scored...yeah, but otherwise he didn't do much for me.

- Was disappointed in the D prospects. Lambos, Peart, and Masters all had some good moments, but more not so good ones. Lambos seems to have the best tools of the three, but I'm not sure if the other two have a future in the NHL.

- Hunt was ok...kind of bland, but made less mistakes than the others, and had a couple of ok shots on goal. So, he was better on the whole than the other three, but sure not great.

- Am i crazy, or was Fleury pretty bad with his rebound control, kicking it right to Jets players a couple of times?


It's hard to tell if prospects don't make good enough, or quick enough decisions because they are still adjusting to the pace of NHL games, or because they don't have good judgement, or because they are thrown in to play with a bunch of relative strangers.

I don't think you get it yet. You can just say Ohgren however you want, because that's the American way. If we let people decide how their own names are pronounced, there's no end to the possibility. For instance, if my name were Steve, it would be spelled S-T-E-V-E, and pronounced Bradbumblydooblepoop. My name is not Steve, however, so it's not pronounced that way. Or maybe it is, I get to decide. And so do you. How else does one explain words such as phelgm, colonel, macabre, and knight. I've been teaching my kid the difference between C, K, and S lately. You know what the difference is? Seriously, what is the difference? I think C is a trick letter meant to confuse people.

So, instead of pretending we're not just making these sounds up as we go, why not just alter the spelling as well, and let the facade slip? Finally, we're being honest.
