A little surprised Coach Richards seems to have no hesitation putting Wennberg in at center this early against such tough competition on the road.
Like I keep saying some players need to play against the best player's to get to the next level *cough*Johansen*cough*
Refreshing to try to push talented youngsters to be at their best.

Watching TMac in San Jose keep their young players on the bench and playing old crappy players like John Scott, Hannan, Burish is so frustrating. Let the young players force the staff to make tough decisions.
That's how I see it. Richards knows Wennberg better then anyone at this point. He's obviously has faith in him and wants to keep pushing him by putting him out there in all different scenarios to see how he can handle it. He must be working hard in practice and impressing him otherwise I don't think he'd be seeing the ice time he is

HCTR benching Prout for Goloubef? I like it
came here to say that! Hopefully Golo can prove himself and stick around. This will be the first time really get to watch him.

4-0 maybe (4-2) depending on Jack
Hartnell with his first of 25

I'm counting on San Jose to come out slow and not get back into it.

Signs you may have a hockey problem.

If you go an extended period of time without it and then are craving a game so bad you'll even mess up your sleep schedule for one that's likely going to be ugly and dirty.

The Wennberg move makes perfect sense to me. Wennberg is a natural center - an excellent passer and playmaker. He doesn't appear to be a winger, shooter or finisher. You don't want him playing against their first line. And we have Joey pivoting our first line. So second line center it is.

Praise to HCTR on swapping Golo for Prout and seeing the same thing we saw.

But if the game lasts more than four hours, call your doctor immediately. ;)

The San Jose boys GMT is not an elaborate as usual, but still funny. It's the "San Jose Sharks vs. LA Kings Farm Team" :laugh:

Gonna be bad either way for me: Stay up and watch a win---feel it at work tomorrow. Get butt kicked early and go to bed---go to bed pissed.

But another day without hockey is not an option!
Go Jackets! Curious if Wennberg looks any different or more controlling at C

We could get our butts kicked tonite and Wennberg could get completely dominated on face offs. I do not feel good about this one. Hopefully I am wrong.

Sharks announcer just mentioned key injuries to the Jackets and signaled out Milano.

Wouldn't kill the guy to do some research?

Bob goes down in the butterfly a little too early for my liking. I noticed he got beat like that a few games ago too (Benn's goal I think)
