Who would have thought OEL would lead us in PIM? A quick glance at the stats shows a lot of truths. One of the obvious points is found in the total lack of participation of our best or at least the ones we hoped would be the best. We crowned Petey a bit early in my uneducated and not asked for opinion.
As i review some of the posts over the years (ten years last month and still waiting for time off for good behaviour) it occurs to me that I do not know what the fuck I am on about regarding hockey. I am not alone in this lack of wisdom but I am still surprised by how shitty my team is playing. Some one go start a fight. Nils seems to be our best two way player with Pod giving him a run for his money. Poor Demko! OMG he is shot at from high quality areas yet plays his absolute best.
It is that 'absolute best' that is missing in most of our boys. What the Flems are doing is fun to watch with the notable exception of Jonny Hockey who I swear I saw turning tricks back in the day on Davie Street. Apparently all it takes is a good coach. It will be interesting to see how the players will do over the course of the whole season.
Travis Green is still in training camp mode. Sure; new faces, but he should have a better feel for what would work and what wouldn't. Look at some team's line-ups for games and they differ very little week to week, month to month. At times I think he's coaching like a minor league coach would.
Maybe with some self evaluations, the players get it together, hopefully starting tonight. Too many good players on this team are far below their normal standards.
Looks like the league expects me to have a cable or satellite hooked up to my TV to watch this one. So far, ESPN+ has had all the (non-Avs) games for me - but the NHL Network has this one. Can't watch it on their app or online. Oh well - I have a shit ton of stuff to do tonight anyways.

It's November 1st and our team's practices mirror ones you'd see at training camp.

I wonder when training ends this year.
There is no structure to the Canuck's game at all. Frustration is showing on faces from every camera angle.

He's more twitchy the Willie D. Every game is training camp.
