Patrick Sundstrom Ghost Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I watched the end of the first period and then the entire rest of the game, and to put it bluntly, Luke was the best player on the ice by a wide margin too. He had the 3 helpers, but he also was responsible for the first goal, as he deftly kept the puck in the zone at the blueline, and was also on the ice for another goal. In the third he had a couple of silly looking plays where he just cut around players and one in particular where after a said deke his pass should have been a 4th point, but the kid got off a weaker shot and the goalie got his pad on it. There was one play in the second period where he got himself in trouble on a PP where he tried to do too much, and the other team went the other way, but that was it in terms of mistakes I saw him make. Pretty Pretty good. Oh and I know it's not going to happen, but he could totally be on the team this year and be very good doing so, with some learning mistakes that end up in the net but yeah, I would not mind if he and his family changed his mind about going back to school. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guadana Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Luke is awesome offensively but isn’t good defensively. Play against breakaways, board battles, gap control. Even in game with Swiss. I like that Fitz doesn’t try to rush him and give him year in university. He will play 1D role and it will give him more defensive responsibilities. He is very young. Some non nhl experience will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in St Petersburg and there is a very meh weather, lots of grey, cold and rain. I like when summer is summer and winter is winter. In the summertime I'm trying to walk until the end, because after September or earlier there are not so many good days until may.

Spring/Fall is really my favorite, give me 60-70 degrees where I can wear shorts and a hoodie and I'm in heaven. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) I despise NJ winters myself…it’s not the cold that gets me. It’s the lack of color, the overall dead look, the gray skies, and the short days that sap me. January and February are the worst.

Heh. 70 degrees were today. Sometimes we have warmer days, but 70 F is average or even little above average summer temperature here. I like it too) walk in shirt. Spring/fall is about 35-50. Late spring, earlier fall. And 14-35 in winter days. Edited August 13, 2022 by Guadana 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But winter svcks. Missing the time in Moscow area. A lot of snow. And good cold air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicomo Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Give me literally every other season over summer any day. You have to be a complete psychopath to enjoy extremely hot weather.

My wife was stationed in Iraq for a year, and judging by how she talks about it, I wouldn’t last 2 days there. “Dry heat” is all fine and good, but 115 is still 115.
