McGinn will be in the line-up for the home opener. Nabokov in the net.

Today's was spent remembering how to play defense. Pollak describes the drills, you should read it.

No really, go read it.

Nothing about the McGinn thing makes any sense.

Of all the players that needed a lesson after game one (and subsequently) he’s still not even high on the list.

After 3 games my list of players that have me scratching my head include names I wouldn’t have suspected going in.

Pickles and Clowe, I’m looking at you.

maybe they knew Worcester would need him to score the late, game-winner?

I honestly think McGinn wouldda stayed down if not for Pavs’ injury. Maybe there was something they wanted him to work on, but they needed a scorer sooner than they thought they would with Pavs getting hurt…and thats why he was brought back so soon after being sent down? I doubt they’d jerk him around this much otherwise.

As for the other roster oddities? Those ones are a bit harder to understand.

Sometimes the impossible can become possible if you're AWESOME!

Conspiracy Theory time.

(Because Conspiracy theories are fun)

Jamie McGinn is actually a dick. He’s a locker room cancer. He abuses Joe Thornton and makes him feel like crap. When people tell him to shut up he’s says NO I was a second round draft pick, I’m better then you. Toddy was then forced to send him down.

Makes sense?

Not in the slightest. Like the creativity though.

Plank's right

McGinn clearly stole Joe’s Eggo.

Leggo that Eggo, McGinn!

Oh c'mon...

You and I both know Jamie’s a jerk.

Jamie McGinn is a total dick.

I once saw him kill a woman and wear her skin as a suit.

I shouldn't have said anything.

TOTALLY off topic

Except in the realm of defense – the Coyotes blanked the defending Stanley Cup champs at home, 3-0.

Is the world about to end? Do we have stronger competition in the Pacific this year?

Looking at the Pacific Division standing is fairly amusing right now.

yeah I saw that … was cheering them on even … (uh … yeah … I actually was … they had a tough summer)

boo! but seriously, I could see this team being the Columbus Blue Jackets of this season with a strong goalie, a superstar captain and solid, but not showy supporting cast – not to mention bringing in a former Stars head coach who’s very quality. I still can’t believe Dallas prefers Marc Crawford to Dave Tippett.

I was cheering for Bryzgalov

He got me a shutout, a win, and some solid stats tonight. I almost didn’t start him, figuring the Pens would blow him up. Crikey, I would’ve kicked myself.

Hmmm

I like McGinn ,and I am glad he’s back, but this is odd.

On a completely separate topic, someone please play some fucking defense.

What’s defense? You mean offense, right?

I think defense is the thing where you prevent the puck from going into your own net. I’m not sure though, I haven’t seen it in a while.

Prevent the puck from going in your own net… by constantly shooting it into the other teams net… got it.

I think that’s part of it. I seem to remember something about clearing people from the crease and getting into shooting lanes and playing the man not the puck. But that might just be something from a dream I had once.

It’s not a part of San Jose Sharks mantra to play the puck before the man.

I thought defense consisted of drop passes to no one in the neutral zone and complacently letting people skate by you while trying to poke check.

Yeah, that seems about right. That and cross-ice passes with an opposing player right in between you and your intended target. And clearing attempts that go right to the defenseman at the point.

Also, I vote that we use this gif whenever sarcastic clapping is needed. Like, when your first shot on goal in a period is with less than two minutes left.
