[1857 Howitzer]

@Aportzline "#CBJ coach Todd Richards hinted that LW Colton Gillies might draw in for Jonathan Audy-Marchessault on Tuesday vs. #LAKings."

@RobMixer "#CBJ D John Moore just left practice."

@RobMixer "Todd Richards said John Moore's issue is lower body, and he's currently being evaluated. Will know more later today. #CBJ"

I remember, earlier this offseason, arguing that what had happened to our blueline last year in terms of regular injuries and guys out at any given time was something of an anomaly that was extremely unlikely to repeat itself.

I think the hockey gods took that as a challenge or something.

On Saturday nite it was some time late in the second period before I even realized that JAM was playing that nite. I think the elixir might also be called "for the love of Gordie Howe, don't go near the puck" ism.

if JAM was as good as most here expect him to be. I don't think the Rangers would have let him go. The kid is young and inexperienced and to expect him to play like Brassard or Umberger this early in his career is a bit much.

What game were you watching? JAM had a fantastic breakaway and good scoring attempt within the first 5 minutes of the game.

He was also beating guys to pucks.

He did, but for some reason he doesn't seem as fast as Calvert or Atkinson.

That was my impression of him after the Detroit game. Similar ability, slightly slower. Could have been he just wasn't used to the strategy yet and was being extra cautious.

I was late getting seated so I could have missed his breakaway early in the game. But beating others to the puck throughout the game? No.

He's not as fast as either. Not many players are as fast as Calvert, the man always hustles. I do not seem JAM making much of an expression overall this season. He needs to mature and come to camp next season with the mindset that he needs to play well consistently. Not saying he's not a talented kid, just has a huge chip on his shoulder that he needs to lose to really make it.

Guess you really were not watching the same game. At least twice in the 3rd he beat a Wings player to a puck deep in the Jackets end and one of them would have been an icing.

BTW I am not saying he is the next great thing, but he was far from invisible.

They tried really hard to sign him to an ELC. But he wanted a 3 year ELC with bonus' and the Rangers said no.
