Re: Breen

I'm not attempting to compare Brodie and Breen them directly.
Also for Chara, 17 points in 70 games is significantly more than 28 in 200.

I was simply saying, with Brodie, you can see his upside, with Breen, I don't know what he would bring to the table that would make him worth the roster spot. He's still young. I like him at the AHL level. He should captain the Heat, but He's not likely to be an NHLer.

I'm not saying ship Breen off, but I think there are other guys that have that intangible thing to bring to the NHL that Breen doesn't. Size at his height is a detriment unless he can carve a niche, whether that be PK or checking or something like that.

Maybe he went leaps and bounds this summer, but up until this season started, I didn't see anything call up worthy other than sheer size.

Re: weird comment I made about the call back goal.. I was obviously doing too many things at once, as I was WAY off base and called them the Kings. big oops.

Re: Heat in general.
I couldn't listen to the third, but I thought, hey! They have strong third periods, maybe they'll get it back. And voila! Nice to score 5 on Brys!

The Heat had a hot streak like this a few Novembers ago, with John Rheault leading the way. Only difference this time is for every player who's streak fades, we've got another guy streaking right behind him. What a breakout month for Ferland! So stoked for this team and how 8 rookies have bought into the Ward/Flames system and created a mark in the pro world.

I fear heavily for the travel... How can they possibly keep this up!?
