I'd like to take this time to point out that James Tanner is technically a professional writer due to his blogs on this site. As are Garth, and as were Richard Cloutier and Matthew Barry, the old Kings' blogger who told Bill, "You have to sleep some time."

Do-over! I'm going to assume that the Flyers' professional head coach knows more about the team than we do.

8 out of 10 on the tank scale. Got no problems with benching medvedev. We won't remember when watching Mathews in camp this summer

The Flyers are holding AMac back for this sole reason. They'll dress him before the first Penguins game. Crosby and Malkin will be wondering where the other defenseman is when they're given a free pass over the offensive blueline. As they stand there in bewilderment, Lecavalier will steal the puck from them before they realize that AMac has backed into Mason's crease as he saw the attack coming.

Call me crazy. Id rather have that instead of berubes approach to youth. 5min ice time and if you dare make a mistake you don't play the rest of the night.

It was consensual.

On the contrary, I made it clear in my initial post that I expected and hoped he would be great.

Tell me something: can you truthfully say, since you are clearly unbiased, that there are enough indications he will be a mainstay of a contending team's 2nd line?

I'll answer. Yes, I can say truthfully that there are enough indications.

your hatred of tanner slightly confuses and wildly amuses me

at this rate, Crosby will simply look at the open ice, shrug, and then blindly whip a cross ice pass off of his backhand through as many pairs of skates as he can find. he'll incorporate the bench if need be.

Reading his blogs and trying to gather useful information is like looking to Alice in Wonderland for valuable life lessons. His blogs are a mixed bag of nonsense, misinterpretations, and poopty 90s alternative music.

What young player did Berube give 5 minutes of icetime to, and bench after making a mistake?

His refusal to use smileys/emoticons is the best.

i actually really enjoy them. no, i wouldnt consider him the be all end all of authoritative knowledge. and yes, whether he will admit it or not he does enjoy stirring the pot. but hes not a Richard and is often at least fairly entertaining.
