actually

the reason I’m worried is that someone on the internet said if I mixed the yeast with water and sugar, it’d start foaming in 30 minutes. after an our, there were 3-4 bubbles. but then I called the local homebrew store and they told me to chill out and be patient. which is, as you said, annoying.

I imagine it’s way different from homemade bread, but I’ve never done that. my sister has

Just be warned that because there were so few, that it might take longer to work than if you’d had a lot of bubbles. The bubbles indicate how much of the yeast is alive. Some is, obviously, but not all of it.

Have to question one thing. If we are only going to use Connolly for 5 mins a game, why not send him down and let him get his confidence back and get ice time. he got the assist on Stammer’s goal but still only had 1:33 of ice time as of a moment ago.

take a look at the average ice time…it was way higher when he was not in the box. Different…I am not saying I want him sent down…I would rather he stay up and get time on the ice when he is not scratched. 5 mins is not developing him.

Why is it not helping? I mean that two ways. First, how are you measuring his progress or lack thereof?

Second, he’s working with a fantastic coaching staff, playing against NHL opponents. Why send him somewhere where he won’t be challenged?

I think it’s more that Yzerman et al thinks that sending him down won’t help him, even if he would get more ice time. And they probably don’t want to be paying a WHLer an NHL salary. Which they’d have to do if they sent him down.

they did not trust his prior club. He was since traded to a stronger team so the situation is different now.

I think you all kind of missed my main point and that is if you are not going to send him down then play him. In the last 16 games he has been active he has only played > 10 minutes exactly 2 times. And he has not played more than 8 minutes in 7 games (8 games after tonight.) I want to see the kid play and believe he can do it.

by Barlow1 on Feb 9, 2012 8:28 PM EST up reply actions  

I just don't see the dichotomy here

why don’t you think he’s getting anything out of NHL practices, NHL coaching, etc even if he’s not playing a lot

I apologize if this sounds aggressive, but that’s just wrong. Tons and Tons of guys spend time on the bench or in the press box their first few seasons. Stamkos did it. Seguin did it.

He can cope with getting only 7 or 8 minutes of ice time while he learns the ropes.

not sure why I should bother since I was “just wrong” but my production is easy to see. Connolly is a scorer and always has been. Tonight was his first point in 17 games. You think that is building confidence?

The issue is you all read it and went straight to the easy argument of sending him down…I said “If we are only going to use Connolly for 5 mins a game, why not send him down and let him get his confidence back and get ice time.”

I DON’T want him sent down…I want to see him play here. I am not saying 20 mins a game but give the kid more than 7 mins a night. My point is if we don’t trust him its not doing him any good.

Again…I want him to play up here with us. Is that clearer?

I don’t understand how handing him ice time that he didn’t earn and can’t do something with builds confidence. I don’t understand how you can say that he gains nothing from being in the situation that he’s in.

I look at his stats and I see that he was being given ice time and didn’t get points. I see reports that Boucher is working with him one-on-one. I see reports that Yzerman is taking a personal interest in what he does. I believe that he is getting something out of it.

What’s wrong about what you said is the assertion that guys get nothing out of being with the big club unless they are playing 10 minutes or more a night. Lots of guys go through this and come out fine on the other end. It’s not a sign that his career or his development is being mismanaged.

You think everything is that black and white? funny. I never said he’s getting nothing out of it. I am saying he may get more elsewhere. There is a huge difference there.

And lots of guys are not the potential scorers that he is. As a coach I know that scorers have a different and fragile mentality (which is why they have streaks and slumps).

Its not a black and white issue…and you are right if he hasn’t earned it then don’t play him….send him where he will play and give the time to Ashton, Labrie or Conacher or someone else…I am fine with that too.

People gave you reasons why it might be helping him or might help him less to do something else.

This was not a personal attack. I was simply asking that you consider other points of view and that you back up your assertions with evidence.

They have until the trade deadline to send him down to Tri-Cities. Tho, Kennewick would probably traumatize him after Tampa. Still probably better than Prince George, tho.

“Send him down” would mean back to Juniors. And the flip-flop between top level (NHL) and amateur hockey just seems counter-productive and send s teh wrong message.

so. . . Cassie

I don’t think I ever actually asked you this, because I assumed it wouldn’t be a big deal. . . you cool just bringing forty bucks to the game? I’ll make sure to have a quarter for your change ;-)

If I cared more about my UNC side, I'd call myself "Tar Volon," and that'd be awesome.

I asked you how you wanted me to pay you for that ticket. Of course I’ll bring some cash. We’ll have to figure out logistics in a couple of weeks. Is it just you and I? Or are you bringing your sister, too?

Okay. My friend Tracy said something about meeting up during an intermission. She’s Vinny’s friend, so I don’t know if she’ll ask us to come back and see him after the game. But it’s a possibility.

She’s already told me her seats – she’s in Section 117, and I’m sure she’ll be texting me all day. I’ve been there before. I was there for the All-Star Game a year ago, remember? Tho, I didn’t see much of the concourses. But, I have been in both locker rooms. :oD

oh right, I forgot you were there last year

I haven’t spent much time in the concourses either. or the locker rooms

so she’s sideline (between the defensive zone circle and the blue line) and we’re goal zone (probably right behind where the trapezoid ends (at the fat part). both in the North end though

Despite the 2 goals allowed

I thought the Bolts had a good second period. At times they seemed to be toying with the Rags in the O-Zone ( especially V4’MSL-Shannon ). Not many shots but almost all of them quality chances.
