Adam French: NHL Thoughts : Drivel Intensified

no butcher for calder? damnnnnn

Keller looks like the real deal. Seems unfair to use his +/- against him when he plays on a team that isn't playing well.

I don't think he nor Sergachev play enough to warrant it over somebody like McAvoy.

Mete obviously.

Good drivel

Nuge has been playing well. But can’t drag around Strome and Lucic forever. He set up Strome for a bunch of grade a chances that Strome wiffed on. Free Nuge!

But yeah the rest look awful. Send Yammy down. Get Drai back doing something.
This is getting away from them quickly. Keep TMac for now but fire Chia.

It isn't hard to be leading the Canucks in scoring but he is, not sure where he stands with other rookie forwards but don't ignore him all together.

The USA is developing a lot of talent in some weird places.

Keller and Kunin in Missouri
Matthews in Arizona
Chychrun and Ghostbear from Florida

some California guys

Very similar game from the wing as Brind'Amour used to play from center. Not the fastest but very intelligent in that he finds the soft spots and he knows where the puck should go and where it'll end up.

i have my 4-year son in a hockey program in scottsdale. they follow the USA learn to skate program.

i think it's great. Three 6-week skating courses before an 18-week initiation program (skills training). All sessions are pass/fail.

i think it goes to 3 on 3 on 1/3 or 1/2 rinks from there.

the focus isn't on team play. it's on skating and skills development. rink is open 12-months a year, so skating year-round.

canada better take note. usa hockey is only getting better from here.

the biggest thing holding US born players from taking over the league is the cost. ice time for an hour on LI is anywhere from 400- 550 and i'm sure its that much in most states (not mass mich minn rinks every other block) how much is it in AZ?
