* The McDavid protection problem: The suspension of three games imposed on the Captain of the Oilers, Connor McDavid, made dinosaur tears with the media of Edmonton. “For what
“The NHL protects its superstars?” was their ridiculous theme. The answer is that renowned names such as Rocket Richard, Bobby Hull and Gordie Howe have always had to endure difficult things because it is the nature of the game.
And when it was the meager Wayne Gretzky, his boss Glen Sather signed the hard Dave Semenko – among others – and that’s how the Oilers protected The Great One. In fact, Semenko did so well that he even wrote a book. This is called “In search of number 1”.
McDavid should buy a copy, read it and then tell his boss Stan Bowman to find him a new Semenko.
* The Bow-Wow side of crimes: The visiting of the flyers at the MSG always inspires the stories of John Tortorella. The reader Mark Linde tells a great story of wrongs: “When Tortorella trained the Rangers, he walked dogs on the Harrison field (New York) Pet Rescue with
My daughter Tamara, “recalls Linde.” During their walks with their dog, Tamara discovered that under the gruff and harmful outside – who is shown from him behind the bench – hides a really nice and attentive guy Who loved the long talkative walks with my daughter. I think she is still in contact with John’s son. “(La Maven knows with first -hand what Tamara has experienced.)
* The guards of the dressed devils: No team in the past decade has suffered as many goalkeeper problems as the Devils. The director general Tom Fitzgerald finally solved the problem last summer by concluding an agreement for the very competent Jacob Marksrom. And that worked, as the high position of New Jersey proves in the ranking thanks to the careful work of Markky.
What Fitz could not solve is what seems to be an uncontrollable disease that – for better or for worse; Probably worse-the Maven calls “Goalie-Itis”. Or, almost everything that causes an injury to a washer goalkeeper. Marksrom will be absent for a few weeks and replacing it Jake Allen will have to be the Savior – with a little help from Nico Daws.
Hockey News Yearbook not only chose New Jersey to direct the Metro division, but also designated the DevS to reach the Cup final. Currently, coach Sheldon Keefe must maintain his club above the waters of the playoffs; Forget first! (It’s in Jumpin ‘Jake!)
* When will the JT Miller shoe come out? The Rangers need a first class center if their “Stanley Cup or Bust!” The theme is to be revived. Meanwhile, cannucks would love to abandon JT Miller on the seventh avenue and the West 33D Street. Now that New Yorkers are in series, Chris Drury is not in a hurry.
On the other hand, cannucks are now the response of hockey to the explosion of the Hindenburg airship. The people of Vancouver must do something immediately, but questions remain: will Zac Jones be a sufficient lure for the general manager of Van, Patrik Allvin? And which should be added to the Rangers package. (Hush! Blue shirts are able to succeed in a flight!)
