Should start a drinking game. Every time Mitch Marner's name is mentioned, you take a shot.

Now that the 5 accused players can return to the NHL as of December 1st, who is the first to sign? I think we can assume it will be Hart? https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/article/nhl-says-players-found-not-guilty-in-london-hockey-trial-suspended-until-dec-1/

I hope you're right. I'm not down on Cowan by any means, but like Domi and Robertson, he doesn't seem to be the sharpest tool in the shed "hockey sense" wise.

What's really sad about all this is this singular man, who has chosen to be so far on one side will receive more attention than the 2 students wounded in a shooting in Denver yesterday. Or the Minnesota shooting at a church that left 2 children dead. You know, innocent people in all of this...

Well that was.....depressing. Have you talked to anyone? We're here if you need us.

Thanks. Heck of a kid. Not sure he'll ever be a full time NHLer. Has the size, brains and physical strengths. Seems to need to trust himself more and be a little bit less of a gentle giant.

Is Hamilton that much of an upgrade over Rielly that we will also give away more assets to make it happen? Note: I ask this while not being very knowledgeable on Hamilton

Another thought is to allow the team awarded the penalty shot to change their players (other than the shooter), so that you can put out a couple speedsters that may get up the ice even quicker to create the rebound opportunity. Another cool result would be the defending team leaving one player...

It was a neat concept. I saw goals scored on the initial penalty shot. But saw even more scored by the players joining the play and gaining rebounds.

My daughter went to a university showcase this summer that used the same method. Except players lined up at top of opposing circles and could leave as soon as player touched puck at centre ice.

And less snacks

Robertson hasn't really established himself as a "playoff master". 1 goal doesn't do that. The fact that Berube didn't trust him and he only skated in 3 games says a lot more. We had this same conversation last year around this time. I like Robertson. I hope he figures it out. He saw progress...

Like said, "if Jarnkrok has a bounce back season". And speaking of garbage in the playoffs, Berube didn't even feel that Robertson had a spot in the playoff lineup. That's two coaches in a row. Again, anytime he's been given opportunities, he's fallen flat on his face. Figuratively and...

There's been instances that Robertson has been given opportunities to move up the line up and he's never put forth the performance to "stick". He's not going to get a lot of PP1 time, and he's definitely not getting PK time....so the only way for him to earn more ice time is to stick on one of...

YPrevious to this upcoming season, they had players that you would assume would be built for "Get it Deep and wear them out" hockey. Lorentz, Jarnkrok, Robertson, Laughton, Knies, Pacioretty should all be heavy on the forecheck. It feels like good chunks of the last two seasons, Matthews was...

This biggest issue with the team is they don't know the in between. They're either slow and methodical or 100% dump and chase. As soon as this team loses momentum in the playoffs, they immediately revert to dump and "sort of chase". They need to develop a "chip and overwhelm" methodology. Put...

Bingo!!

That is a real interesting thought process Overspeed drills do similar. Do things at hyper speed and max effort. So, when it's time to perform in a real game, everything slows down and you can process easily

I agree. But I don't think pushing your talent down in the line up adds to your depth. It just spreads your depth even thinner. Not every team is fortunate enough to have a Brad Marchand on the 3rd line playing like he's close to 10 years younger.
