Almost Mixing, err Puck drop time! 


Looks like us foreigners are stuck with ESPN.

Chychrun and Carlson out, maintenance, or rest, or something


that’s two games in a row for Carlson

I'm ready for the Leonard experiment to end - although they probably promised him he would play in all these games to get him to sign. I like him as a prospect, but he is a prospect, not a sure thing.


We need to ramp it up these last few games and quit screwing around. Carbs will win Coach of the Year, but if we get blown out in the first round, an excellent year will turn into a big disappointment pretty quickly.
