What if Clarkson offered to bake you a set of fresh pancakes every Sunday morning?

I merely teach his works. I'm not special- I'm just a follower. No gifts, please. The true gift here is the lessons learned by our LORD.

I wanted them to do that from the start. VL was bad but he was just awful at LW.

Vinny, Schenn and Couturier all seem more comfortable setting up in that right wing slot/circle area and getting a shot off. I think that being similar hurt them all.

I think centers can learn to play wing, but it takes time. You can't expect a guy who played center his whole life to transfer to wing easily.

Carter looked bad at wing, but now he's just fine.

If they want to play VL or Schenn at wing, they need to stay with it through thick and thin for the ENTIRE year. Even if injuries occur.

I dont know what Rask is complaining about. Gallagher didn't touch him until the puck was in the net.

Even the bowling pin was saying there was no reason for Rask to be female doging there

Some guys can adapt. Others can't. Bill mentioned the list of guys the Flyers have tried at wing over the years that never managed to get comfortable there.

In theory, it should be easier to go to wing from center-less responsibility, less skating, but some guys just feel more at home in the middle

Its different for different players. There is more responsibility for centers, but they have more time and space. They also have the ability to rome a lot more.

jesus christ man he scored almost 20 goals playing out of position, often on the 4th line and on the 2nd pp unit. not to mention missing time with injury.

sure he didnt have a great year but it's not like he's unsalvagable if his role changes.

what's his new role?

If he's not making pancakes, I'm really not sure why we have him when we could easily have Clarkson's pancakes

Moving Vinny will be a tremendous challenge for Hexy off the bat. Not an enviable position

I'm literally watching this game, waiting for Douglas Murray to screw up and kill any possible Habs momentum.

To take on Clarkson's contract would require him bringing me a case of 50 year old single malt scotch and Kate Upton.
