Hey Rich; I know your new gig hasn't quite taken effect yet, but does this mean you get to do to Vegas for Frozen Fury??
I'll be very disappointed if this defense, and group of centermen, doesnt hold the Avs offense to less than a goal.
Since O'Donnell is suspended for the first 2 regular season games, does this mean Schenn gets at least a 2 game look? That is, suppose the Kings are going to keep Harrold anyways. Just move Harrold the first 2 games on D and let Schenn play 4th line C and go from there. The way I see it, another positive from the suspension as you are opening up an extended look to someone.
WOW that second line is one good line.. wish i could be at this game..Congrats Rich ganna love seeing u around staples a lot more..
Ryan better be in Vegas....
