That doesn’t make it clearer.

At least he didn't call it a googly

And yes, Ned needs to give his head a shake. He Koochied that game away

Here you go. As a hitter, you can see it coming from a mile a way, but when the ball hits the surface, it goes god-knows-where. Like these:

Boy did Ned ever cough up a hairball at the end of regulation and in OT of the San Jose Vegas game last night.

The bigger question would be why give a fringe backup like Ned the opener start over the guy that is supposed to be your lead man in Askarov. If the Sharks are on a road to relevance, let your top of the pile prospects and lead dogs get the nod.

 

[jeffbear]

Apparently the Sharks let the two compete in pre season and Ned was better. Plus, they're still in kid gloves mode with Askarov for some reason. Not sure if he's mentally fragile or working through some mechanical issues or what. He was absolutely stellar in the AHL last year behind a terrible Barracudas defense.

A decent article touching on the Marty Necas contract stuff.

Especially late in the innings when the pitch is chewed up.

Fair points on Necas ... but you lose some credibility with me when you act confused as to why the Pens would start Silovs over Jarry in the opener. I'd start a gallon jug of sweet tea over Jarry.

The Jonathan Drouin era with the Islanders is off to a roaring start. He has a call with Player Saftey after cross checking Pens Connor Dewar in the face with 15 seconds left in the game last night, which the Isles lost 4-3.

AI has made me so much more productive at work...

Drouin was suspended for 1 game.

No chest protector?

Here are the hairballs in question.

They might want to open an investigation to see if Ned had money on the Knights.

How come Boj is tending net wearing oven mitts?

 

[andyt]

More bad news for the Panthers. Dman Dimitri Kulikov is on IR and could need surgery.

Trocheck is week to week for the Rangers and they don’t have enough cap space to call anyone up from Hartford unless they put him on LTIR.

I think if you can work some of Willy's Hot Chicken in there you've got a winner.

Not shedding a single tear for NYR, though too bad for Vinny. Still, he wears the wrong sweater these days.
