Really happy he’s back.Chartier with light and apple tonight.
Rudy is our best forward on the ice pretty much every night, so no surprise there. Rourke was a nice surprise. He looked good. The new kid, Sam Warning, has been a pleasant surprise. Good energy guy. Not necessarily a great NHL prospect, but he's tenacious and works hard. And he's fast. He is what Jepalovs was last year. Not going to put up a bunch of points, but the other team has to expend just a little more energy when he's on the ice, because he's going 110 miles per hour whenever he's out there. Not even really an agitator, he just has one speed, and it's full speed ahead.
In the nightly Paul Martin watch, he had another OK game. Had one play where he stepped up on a rushing player and missed the puck and the player, but other than that, the errors aren't so egregious. He looks like he's moving better on the ice. Not to the point where he's remotely NHL ready, but he isn't the complete train wreck he was.
I just wanted to add the Balcers hype train for a moment because I was bored, and I saw this. The only players signed to NHL deals with that Sharks that are younger than Balcers are Jeremy Roy (1 month younger) and Joachim Blichfeld ( 15 months younger). Balcers is the best player on the Barracuda, and he's the youngest one there. I like it.
I’m just tweaking the locomotive so it can haul more weight. You may be driving the train, but I’m adding the heft that keeps it moving... slowly, I guess.You get to the back of the ****ing line. I was here first.
I really like Sam Warning, and I'm glad he's stuck around after they've already cut the guy they signed along with him, Heinonen. He's been the first guy on a PTO I've become a fan of this season. He hasn't gotten results, but he is getting chances.
Speaking of agitators, though, Emerson Clark managed to get an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty last night while sitting on the bench (during play, even). Every time that guy starts to win me over, he reminds me he seems to have a bit of a screw loose somewhere.
You get to the back of the ****ing line. I was here first.
Totally agree on Warning. Finally got results on the score sheet with a goal tonight. And a number of good chances, it sounds like (listening on the radio).
Could you tell what happened on that unsportsmanlike? That was one of those WTF moments when I wish I had a radio with me to see if Nollenberger has any insight, with the advantage of replay.
Can I at least sit near the front of the train, since you told me about the train so long ago?
Looks similar
More concerned with how they gave up 15 shots in half a period while also having a powerplay.Grosenick not having a good night. 3 GA in 10:25 (15 shots), including SHG.
