October 4, 2021 - 7:40 AM ET

...nstead, the young core will inherit the Sisyphean task of propping up some goalies who have no business handling the task that’s been laid at their FEET. Can Kevyn Adams show his face in the room and tell them he’s given the team the tools they to succeed? Absolutely not. It would be impossible ...

September 15, 2021 - 6:34 AM ET

...ach. It's an opportunity to start to put in some systems and start to build towards the season. It's also an opportunity for the players to get their FEET wet, maybe get rid of some of the nerves before the main camp starts. There's a lot of different things involved.

It’s an absolutely gorgeous move...
