Remember Howie Meeker breaking down plays?

Peter Puck explaining the simple rules of the game?

Hell yes, they break out the telestrator every game now days, but the systems are so complex now, it's probably too complex for kids to grasp the simple concepts.

I coach kids, I I've stopped telling the kids to watch NHL hockey to watch what players do. It's simply not realistic.

That's why I love the women's game - a slower pace, so the kids can actually watch what is going on, and it's much more applicable to what I want them to do in their game on Sunday morning at Ted Reeve Arena.

You watch a women's Olympic game, and the US and Canadian teams are soooooo technically perfect. Hell, maybe a little too perfect.

When I was young and in house league, the most successful teams I was on were the ones where the coach focused on positioning in the offensive and defensive zone.

5park5 is starting.... 5-0 Barfalo

Followed by a whole night or RippedR*etard, Cherry--Skoal and Max hating on all things Leafy

- .OHOH.


If the Sabres lose, I look forward to it being Eichel's fault

Did Max take over as GM for the Bruins?

Max as the Bruins GM? That would be great, for every other team in the league.

I can only assume you'd be excited after Max announces that the Shea Weber for David Pastrnak deal is completed, with no salary retained by the Habs.

So far:

Max is GM of the Bruins.

James Tanner is GM of the Habs.

Strong roomers about Spatso and Beatle John getting named to unnamed teams...

Would still have Petry and Benn and probably give more playing time to Juulsen and Mete?

I can't wait for him to overpay for Connor Carrick.

In 3rd. Not moving. Rest Andy. And anyone else that needs it. Marleau could use a week off. Anyone banged up.

Sign Gardiner as a UFA.

Then again.... he wouldn't be the worst fit on that left side....

If the Leafs had Conner McGregor come in the room between periods like Boston did would it help?

No, that will not happen. Not with this Buffalo team unless Eichel can play every minute without getting tired then there is a slight chance.
