How do I shot puck!?
the kindl players tribune article is actually pretty good, a lot of introspection about what its like to think you're the next big thing only to see yourself become a below average player

although this is pretty funny, hasek using two of the worst shots on the team to get himself extra practice :

quote:

A few weeks earlier, we started the playoffs with two defeats against Nashville, which prompted Babcock to make a switch from Dominik Hašek to Chris Osgood in goal. I sat next to Hašek on the plane to Colorado for the second round, listening to him believing he would start again in the next game. He wanted us to prepare him properly, so after practice, Andreas Lilja and I took turns shooting at him. He let us place the pucks in the face-off circle and ordered us to fire at him as fast as we could. We skated across the entire rink, shooting hard and he caught everything. Unreal. He was incredibly stubborn.

i have to be honesty, i didnt really pay much attention to the blues over the past few years, other than seeing stuff like tarasenko wanting out and pietrangelo moving on. how did they go from cup winners to their current state so quickly?

im probably in the minority among hockey fans but i actually really like the idea of a play in, i think the way the NBA does it is pretty fun- if you're the 7th or 8th seed you just have to win 1- but if you're 9 or 10 you need to win two games.
people whine about too many teams making the playoffs, but historically this is the lowest % of the league making it in the history of the league i believe. my only caveat would be i would want those stats to not count towards general playoff stats.
