Horrible draft. Good article. Still wouldn't start a new paragraph with "He" like you did under Stone.

Wouldn't say that just yet.

I think a few of them are starting to show what they are made of, incl Boedker.

Can't be as bad as 07

Let me rephrase, my favorite Coyote forward

That OEL guy is not too shabby eh?

If he's ever going to break out, he needs to start being more selfish and do things himself. Being stuck on a line with Doan and Vermette isn't helping any, but he needs to stop being pass first and unleash that awesome shot he has. Someone tell him that a pass to Doan or Vermette is a wasted opportunity.

He's actually been playing on the Hanzal-Vrby line this season, which recently has been the Korpi-Hanzal line with Vrby out. Sullivan is on the Doan-Vermette line.

Vrbata has been out for a month. Tippet favors pairs. Hanzal-Vrbata is one, but now the lines have been all kinds of strange with no Vrby. Seems I've noticed a whole lot of Boedker with Doan and Vermette, but I could be wrong.

Damn. Old habits die hard. Will try to fix that next time.

Regarding Boedker: I missed the last couple games, but from what I've seen lately he's been with Hanzal. Korpikoski and Sullivan have kind of been flip-flopping with each other on the other side.
