Hitler had success playing Hockey, didn't know that about him.

I think he and Nelson Mandela used to play against each other.

Umberger is a player that has had success in the past as a net front presence on the PP. Lecavalier is a more of a shooter that sits on his off wing for one timers on the PP. Two different kinds of players in two different roles on the PP.

Vinny is a big body and still has a shot. Pretty sure he'd play any role at this point.. At this rate Berube will likely use him as the waterboy before PP anyways

He was our net front presence, famously known for his catchphrase, "Tear down this wall!" when breaking a shutout effort.

Not sure if Leight, but WTF! This has to be a joke right?

I heard the interview on the radio. probably would have been a good idea to have someone brief him prior to the appearance.

Bernier is a dumbass for not knowing. Got it.

What I don't understand is:

1.) Why they would ask him to begin with?
2.) Why they would air the video, knowing how embarrassing it is to the guy?

Whole lotta fail going on with that whole thing.

I'm guessing that the guy who posted it had no idea who Nelson Mandela was either.

That could be true, as well.

At team Canada WJC camp, Morin is paired with Chris Bigras and Sanheim is with Hadyn Fleury

- Jsaquella


Of the 5 dmen that went in the 2014 1st-round, I'd have to say early returns seem to indicate that Sanheim is probably just right behind Ekblad right now:

1. Ekblad,
2. Sanheim,
3. Honka,
4. DeAngelo,
5. Fleury



What a pick.

so if you are Hexy, do you allow Hagg to play for Sweden or do you keep him in the A?

I'm guessing Morin and Bigras are the borderline guys to make the team. I like the Sanheim/Fleury combo: keep the western boys together.

I say no because he is better off playing against better competition in the AHL and sticking to the program.

It seems like DeAngelo has actually learned to play defense a bit, and Fleury is struggling offensively. I'd still take Fleury given the option of the two.

I'd let him go, if only so he can escape the yoke of Terry Murray for a fortnight.

I'd lean towards no, but the WJC is a big deal, so I'd talk to him about it and make a decision based on best needs of the team and player.

Umberger just got a goal on the West Coast trip. Rinaldo couldn't score in a whorehouse with a fist full of hundreds.

Lecavalier would, but it's more of a question of where and why Berube would play him on the PP.
