Robyn did a great job interviewing Michael Mersch. She is a good interviewer and I look forward to more work from her. Fun profile to read. He seems to have a lot of respect for Coach Stothers. Haven't yet read the Stothers piece, that's next.
I don't always post on the article threads, but I usually read all the articles you post, Sheng, and appreciate the work that goes into them. Thanks to Jewels from the Crown.

Yeah that was fantastic. Really enjoyed to hear his take on fighting as well as on personalities.
Love reading this too:
"JFTC: Who do you model your game after, if anyone?
MM: I like watching hockey. Some hockey players don't, which I find kind of weird, but I think that by watching the game just on TV at night or whatever, you can pick up what other guys do and kind of implement that in your game, maybe work on it in practice, stuff like that, so I like doing that. I play in front of the net. I think Justin Abdelkader plays in front of the net for the Detroit Red Wings, Tomas Holmstrom did it in the past. I watch guys. When I'm watching a game, I watch the guys around the net so those are a few guys off the top of my head, who come to mind. Obviously Tomas Holmstrom is the best net-front player to ever play so I try to watch him a little bit and see what he does."
Died laughing at the part about Mersch chirping Gravel about dangling him in college and Gravel blaming it on the backchecker.

I would really really like to see Mersch in the lineup soon. Esp. if Kopitar misses any time. We just dont need Nolan and Clifford and Andreoff in the lineup at the same time every night.

I hope we hold him down as long as we can so when we pop the lid on that soda it's good and shaken up

Robyn will appreciate the comments, guys!
This is something of a companion piece to my Stothers's feature. Today, I asked the coach his thoughts about Bernie Nicholls's health situation and his opinion as to whether or not the NHL had protected them enough from concussion-related health issues:
Mike Stothers: Did the NHL Do Their Best to Protect Players from Head Trauma?

Very interesting. I wondered why Bernie wasn't brought back.
Stothers is a straight-talker and obviously not afraid to disagree as he sees fit. Pretty brave in today's climate.
I wish Bernie better health. Must be a scary thing he and other ex-players with concussion histories have to deal with.
