There’s former ECU student Carter Cruise.

Belle Knox? Duke student? Can't google more details since I'm currently at work.

On second thought, tying the game on a beaut of a forecheck play is kind of clutch too. Turbo's goal but Aho's daring.

I watched this play 10 times specifically to see how the turnover happened. Siegenthaler went to hard-rim the puck around and just as he made contact, the toe of his stick gets caught on a seam in the boards, preventing him from following-through. Bad break for the kid. He didn't really do anything wrong, but it looked horrible. And good luck for Aho, who really didn't do anything right, but is getting all kinds of credit.



Wait, so someone here must follow pornstars on twitter?

Um ... maybe?

Wait, now Aho is the whipping boy? I don't know if he's injured and he's not in early season form, but is he really that bad out there? Siegenthaler, who cares.

How could you watch this play 10 times, and come to the conclusion that Aho "didn't do anything right"?

What he did right was to pressure the goddamned puck, Kev. What he did right was to play the exact kind of forecheck that has been the foundation of this team's success.

And you know what? You know that, dude. I *know* you know that, because it's obvious and you're not stupid. So what's your deal here?

Forecheck is the key to success and happiness and social cohesion.

I believe he means Aho didn't do anything spectacular and of his own volition to force the play, but rather was the beneficiary of a lucky break by being in the right place at the right time. So the difference between a Datsyuk-esque strip and dish, and Siegenthaler (great name btw) whiffing on the outlet with Aho right there.

There's nothing lucky about being in that right place at that right time. That's the whole point of aggressive forechecking: forcing your opponent to make a mistake.

But let's give Aho zero credit because it wasn't Datsyukian enough, whatever that means.
