I guess it's more for the kids and it is Christmas break. That said, if it was in the late afternoon (say, 4 or 5pm), I would've taken my older daughter with me to go check it out...as it stands, I'm at work like a sucker. It does strike me as odd since most kids would need to attend with an adult.

Age aside, this is his first full NHL season. He's third in goals by a rookie and 4th in points. He's leading the team in plus/minus (and his +15 on a team with negative goal differential is pretty impressive). If you sort the rookies by ice time per game he doesn't even show up on the first page.
If you normalize his stats to the time on ice, he's leading all rookies in goals per 60 with 1.44 (Forsberg is at 1.37). His assists are lower than the leaders but I wonder if some of that has to do with the quality of linemates (until recently he was playing fourth line minutes and his linemates included a 19 year old rookie and that scoring machine Eric Condra). Even so, his Pts per 60 is 3rd best among rookies.

It won't. It's either to stupid or too embarrassing or both.
I bet you Buffet Garrioch has the full scoop on his next scintillating edition of...whatever his TSN segment is called.
Also, why can't BoroCop just play through this injury...look at the man, he's mostly machine!!!

How many vacation days do you get? (and how many sick days?)

He's going to eclipse 20 for sure and probably push 25. No reason he can't score 25-30 consistently at the NHL level.

LOL, well of course there is. This is his first year. He's playing on a team that consistently faces the other team's backup goalie -- in other words, they are taken lightly. Same is happening to a little-known AHL call up. To get more goals he'd have to get more minutes, which typically means playing higher in the order, more defensive zone starts, higher quality of competition.
Of course it should also mean better quality of linemates and more PP time. But overall the cons often outweigh the pros and that's why "sophomore slump" is a thing.

20 vacation days...15 or so sick days.
I used to have 20 days after working at a company 13 years, but then the next job I went back to the standard 15. I've since been there 5 years so I'm now at 20, but company policy is that we take a vacation day when we're sick. Consequently there's a lot of WFH (working from home) that goes on.
you're right... how many players ever have better years then their first year in the NHL. it's all downhill from here.Ev wrote:Probably not

I'd love to see Jagr on that line for the rest of the year. I bet the guy has at least one more year in him after. He'd tear it up with those two while letting Stone develop with Lazar and (insert LW).
