The Ditch part deux

Gerrard Gallant is a good coach.

 

Off to watch one of my wife's young talented disciples, this should be fun.

 

Better than some coaches I could think of, bwahahaaa.

 

Big night for the Kaner, 5 pts.

 

Need more info.
Your wife’s disciples?

 

Head n shoulders above Blashil... I havnt liked Blashil from the very beginning. The guy was great in the AHL and that's just what he is, an AHL coach. Now their turning the Wings into an AHL team, lol. Good luck with that.

 

Haven't thought much of Blashil, no-name coach, maybe a cab in his future.

Hawks have the seabrook blues, healthy scratch will be the new norm.

* Fan-elected captain

 

Barkov deserves all that recognition and more. That dude is phenomenal.

 

At least 1 guy in the central is lucky there are only 7 teams.

 

im assuming every team has to have a representative?

 

Yes, plus who knows if that extra team would have anyone extra that would knock somebody else out of the game.

 

Carey Price being there is a joke.
Who am I kidding?.... the whole thing’s a joke.

 

Cale Makar rejected a spot on the Canadian Olympic team to return back to school.

 

Always has been, always will be, it's a bit of a winfall for the host city. The players cringe at having to go.

 

Ya I found that to be really strange.
UMass isn’t even good and Amherst isn’t exactly a destination. I’d assume that Hockey Canada will remember this moving forward.

 

He probably put off all his homework and studying for after the World Juniors and can't afford to go to camp lol.

Imagine that. But if that was the case so what? Just go straight to the NHL lol.

 

Exactly, I have to think grades don’t really matter to Makar, especially the spring semester grades. Unless of course he’s planning on coming back for a sophomore season.

 

Canadas roster to be named at noon today.

 

wow the NHL assist leader doesn't make and the guy (my nemesis) 4th in goals doesn't make it either. wow.
