I would not be surprised to hear Tavares has a knee sprain at minimum. Fortunately no apparent injury from the stick to his face/neck

Not sure who is filling in for Tavares on PP1. Could be 92 (most effective), or 20 (most similar), could be 53 (most deserving, IMO)

Here it is

Is he selling real estate on the side?

This is good to see (hey, Nick Antropov)

That is very good news re Tanev and good news re McKenna

Hope Tavares progresses as well

Odd Nick Paul isn't on PP2. His faceoff win% is down. Wonder if he's nursing something. He's hitting and blocking shots ...

Say what you will about Hiller, and obviously things remain to be seen, but he’s open to collaboration and changing and trying things.

Probably time to move Kaberle to the wing

Very easy to get lost in the shuffle if you don’t have defensive utility in a lead situation (and artificially shortened bench due to injury/ineptitude)

McKenna has the right attitude

There really is nothing like a shorn Willy. It's breathtaking.

Does it make him look bigger?
