Mercer's playing full of confidence... just needs to make sure he keeps his head up. One bad hit can turn his game at this point. That's when he'll truly be tested. But he's got some real poise; he's playing like he was taken second overall.

He's a Newfie... these are a different breed of people - had a few on my floor in Uni: they love to party and don't mind rubbing elbows (Newfoundland is like Canada's Ireland). I'd be interested to see a Newfie superstar in this league. Him and Newhook have real shots at becoming big time players, especially if he's as good as he's playing right now... goodness he's electric.

NJ is sort of loaded up on forward talent and it's getting crowded; they're going to have to start managing their assets. When I got like this in Franchise mode, I'd start going after big names on other teams that would fit perfectly in my line-up. Wonder if NJ is going to do the same.

Ahh yes, I too hope NJ treats real life like a video game.

Can’t wait for him to leave to play with his favorite childhood team

Excellent post until you resorted to a certain EA Sports video game franchise.

We just need to make sure his father stays healthy...

Bernier starting this afternoon

Sharangovich is back in for Thompson on the 4th line. Rest of the lineup is the same

Annual afternoon game against the Bruins for the team to sleepwalk through.

Right… saying you want to play here with your buddy suter and then last minute change your mind to sign with minny. But then later come out and say it was because of his dad.

You mean teams don't buy in real life when they have extra assets? You can only be a buyer in a video game?

My reference was purely anecdotal...

I guess the refs are done calling the crosschecks they were supposed to be cracking down on.

Wasn’t a cross check. He backed right into him.

Yes, he backed into him. He was also crosschecked. It's possible for both of these things to happen at the same time.

Oh, and Nico was called for embellishment when he was crosschecked earlier in the game too so go kick rocks.

Good effort, bad result. At least Utica won....

Yup. Can't play perfect every game but I'm happy that it felt like we could come back during the game. And I gotta say I don't mind McLeod being used for d-zone faceoffs, but he needs to get the (frank) off the ice when he gets the chance. Just a waste for the team to be creating a nice play and have Mikey flub a pass lose a handle on the puck.

Something I noticed today, Siegenthaler's shot - pfffft. It has no power at all.

Can’t wait to get Hughes back. Makes things a little bit easier for the rest of the team.
I still find it hard to believe we have a winning record right now. We’ll see if they can maintain a similar pace, and if it changes when Hughes returns.

Shouldn’t have to wait too much longer for another bad blog for the Rangers game from Woo…

I skip these blogs and go right to the replies for info. I sure do miss the days of Cordell.

The closer he gets to projections the higher the price.

Yeah I like what Siegs has done this season, but play in the offensive zone is not his strength.

That's weird, it seems like the price has been the same for the last 3 months according to you.
