"Mentally strong enough" - yep, that's probably the key ingredient, especially for a d-man. Confidence is required to perform at their best. How to assess the mental toughness is part of the equation on deciding when a young player is ready.

It's like a cornerback in football - you're gonna look stoopid sometimes; forget about it and play the next play.

Nothing like taking a scab and ripping it open with a hunting knife...oh wait I think another Kings goal was offside - that makes 2 for the game...what do you think Wes?

That's a fact

Schwartz's is on St.Laurent. Nothing much has changed in that joint except that Celine Dion bought it from the family because they were going to close it. Long ago after a Saturday night game at the Forum you would see some of the Habs come in to scoff down a couple of big sandwiches with fries. Larry Robinson came in with Serge Savard the night I was in there.

And where else can you get a Cherry Coke to go with your meal? And buy a hockey poster for $2 when you go up to the cashier to pay the bill. Used to be cash only, no credit cards.

Chocolate coke or chocolate phosphate.

What's your excuse?

If you are in the Oak Park area, the Onion Roll is a pretty decent option for a deli.

Yeaster. You can try Johnnie's. Everyone needs to understand crushing disappointment.

I think you've got stock in Al's or something.

Kurashev signs ATO with Hogs.

That was a heart breaker for sure. Felt bad for him, he had his stick slashed out of his hands, retrieving his stick was probably the wrong decision in retrospect.

Cool. His scoring dropped off after a very good first half of the season but gotta like his consistent compete level so we'll see.

Your beef (pun intended) has always been about the price and size of the sandwich. Never seen you post that they weren't good in terms of taste.

You're still the only person I've heard beef about Johnnie's. Great fries too. They are in fact awesome.

Nice.
- Elbows15

Hope Kurashev can parlay this into a starting spot next year on the Hogs and have a solid training camp with the Hawks again.

In a few games so far, Hagel and R Johnson have acquitted themselves decently.

Apparently, though, Osipov was signed by the Hogs again to a PTO. Don’t really see the point of that with a good cadre of D prospects in place already and perhaps a few more getting aboard this summer depending on what Beaudin and Mitchell decide.

Someone else alluded to it earlier that Kurashev also seems to be a clutch performer. That would be nice if translatable to the pros.

(frank) taste, if it's cheap and big it's gotta be better!!! I mean what would you rather have a $40 Rib Eye or 6 $2 hot dogs? Nuff said!!

Can't remember you saying, but was Entwistle a guy said you expected to be with the Hogs next season as well?

Would be great to add some more actual forward prospects to the mix there.

Pretty sure Entwhistle is eligible to leave Guelph after the season.

I'm sure I was one of a few who said that about Entwistle. Would expect him to go pro after his current season ends. Don't know what else he has to prove or learn in juniors and may be best starting to play at the pro level and develop his game playing against men.

did we get Entwistle in the Hartman trade?

No, in the Hossa trade.

Coyotes received Hossa, Hinostroza, Oesterle
Hawks recevied Kruger, Entwistle, a few AHLers (Campbell and Maletta)
2019 draft picks were involved, too

Hartman trade netted Beaudin, Kurashev, and Ejdsell.

Hossa's contract with AZ.
