If he looks lost for 5 games send him down and call him back up at the end of the year for 4. If he looks like he belongs, burn it and keep him happy. This also shows kids the old regime is gone and being sent down isn't a guarantee.

Totally like that point of view. Good call on the signaling of regime change! It's be worth it, I'd say. Hard call, indeed....

Same. Don’t have kids, but I binge watched “The Mandalorian”. I’m a nerd, I own it. My wife was excited that “Free Solo” is on the demand list of movies.

OK, OK, OK: I admit it; my wife was binging Mando....I sat my fat keister down and watched it as well. I'm a Marvel guy, it's the "thing" my youngest as I do together, so THAT was what I went with (1st thing I watched was The Fox and The Hound :aah........

Any call me crazy, does Blash do better with a younger roster? He did win in GR. Maybe his message gets to young players better than it gets to vets.

He is on the NHL roster. No doubt.

I got chills man. Larkin ripped a pass and what a shot.

That's an interesting question. May be correct....could be the loss of Bylsma and the addition of Tanguay, could be Blash knows this is it; if we suck, he's gone. Could just be he relates better to the kids....

Maybe not even relate, but does his Babcock wanna be hard a$$ demeanor not get through to grown men but gets through to the 25 and under crowd? Where the 25-30 isn't burned out yet. Then everyone else is like

Leadership dynamics are always hard to call, especially if you don't have an ear in the room. There were some guys I worked with that just responded well to being a Babcock. Could be the case. Would really like to know what the change is....

Could also be older players that knew they were on a crap team, not gonna get another deal, and essentially just mailed it in.

Game is on NHL right now.....if anyone wants to vomit watching the 1st again.....

Hmmmmm.....there were many nights that it seemed that way.....

Hard finish. Good 2d, for sure. Got some GREAT looks at Raymond...A GREAT night for Fabbri..Mo Sides seemed to hot a bit of a stride. PPG was on fire tonight, VERY refreshing. There were some really good points in the game, some improvements that we were hoping to see. Not overly upset, to be honest. Disliked the 1st period, for sure. But things picked up in the 2d & 1/2 of the 3d. Got some good looks at who belongs, and who needs work (Sebrango & Newpower need some work....their D-paring really didn't click).
