Right.

So are they ALL bad at mental preparation? Or maybe could it be something that they all have in common, like caching and systems?

Don't recall a time I've been so pumped about the D corps.
That's true we've got some exciting depth with Mackey, Poolman, Klyington, Lerby, and Kinnvall.

Nesterov just seems like a good stop gap, and I would be okay with him staying a year or two.

Cap space and asset management. Can probably get a top 6 forward for Hanafin.

Not slighting Hanafin's play at all. He's been great. Sorry if it came across that way.

It's okay, I just thought you maybe thought Hanifin was a lot older than he actually is.

For his age and cap hit and what he brings Hanifin shouldn't be going anywhere anytime soon.

Valimaki is so good at keeping his body between the puck and the opponent.

At least the bad start didn’t last the entire period. That last 5 minutes was just dreadful hockey from both teams through.

If they can build on that effort, we’ll win this game.

Really rough start, but that Backlund line shift got the boys skating a bit more, and all the numerous giveaways started to slow down.

Liked what I saw from Ritchie's very limited sample size.
