I always pictured you as Gorgeous George Costanza.

Where's the Hurricanes player name in that?

(I love it tho, could be my next handle)

Zykov looked good.

Now we should send down Ryan and call up Wallmark

Feels good to see (our former Kings prospect) Zykov get his first goal in his NHL game.

He played a pretty good game last night, didn't look lost, and drove the net.

in the last nhl game i bought (15 i think) he was the only player in the game whose four shooting stats all maxed at 99 by the time he was like 24

Lucas Wallmark is definitely a keeper. He's a guy that I thought would top out as a 4C. His offensive instincts are outstanding. It appears that his skating continues to improve as well. Known primarily as a distributor in the SHL, his goal scoring has improved in each of his last 4 professional seasons.

He's still a bit slight of build, but I'd love to see him with a true goal scorer on his wing (Zykov was one of his wings down in Charlotte) for a game or three up here. I do, however, see the value of keeping him in Charlotte to help the Checkers continue their attempt to make the post season. With the Checkers going 12-6-2 in their last 20, they've got a more realistic shot at the post season than we've had for the last month.

With Wallmark getting all the love here, it's Andrew Poturalski that's quietly leading the team in points and assists.

Maybe Wallmark can come up for few games and we send down Ryan, who has NHL experience and can help Checkers?
