Seriously, wtf is the point of this debate about Schenn's goal and the degrees of hard work, skill and luck?

Isn't that just life?

Still, he wasn't a guy that listened to his coaches, adhered to systems, played defense, backchecked, or crashed the net (until the end)... yet the puck always seemed to find him nonetheless. Not all of his goals were beautiful snipes, and out of the ones that weren't, you can safely say that hard work probably didn't have much to do with them.

I would have paid cash money.....ok, maybe bitcoins......to hear a conversations about systems between Hull and Ken Hitchcock when Hull played for Hitch.

Hitch: "The only way to create offense is to backcheck like rabid dogs, always be on the right side of the puck, and to outwork everyone on the ice."

Hull: "Holy smokes. I've been doing it all wrong, like, 600 times."

Hehe yeah, he ran through the Keenan and Hitch gauntlets and still came out smelling like roses.

I think Bowman used hypnotic suggestion or something.

Agreed. This reminds me of my Twitter conversation with one Randy Miller a year or two ago. Good times -- except he didn't block me like he did Jsaquella.


- Flyskippy


Still have no idea why he blocked me...prior to being blocked I had never directy criticized him on twitter and maybe interacted with him twice, and neither time was confrontational...hell one was about baseball & Harry Kalas, for Pete's sake

His mouse was faulty and he meant to block me for calling him a writer from Pittsburgh who could not keep his city of origin's bias & hatred for Philadelphia from seeping into his hockey-related writing.

Hartnell has got to go, it looks like G is getting pissed off at his clumsiness out there. Heard Philly was sniffing around Glencross. I would make that trade tomorrow to get out of Hartnell's contract. He doesnt bring anything at all right now

I see. I guess that was it. Of course, after he blocked me, I tried to do all I could to deserve it
