31 Thoughts: Some good stories in tough times - Sportsnet.ca

“I texted him the same thing his wife probably said to him: There’s two guys in the league wearing pads that you don’t fight: Smith and Lehner. Those two you leave alone.”The NHLPA released its annual Players’ Poll on Tuesday. It wasn’t until Andrew Walker informed me on Sportsnet 650 Vancouver that I heard there was a Twitter controversy about 41.55 per cent of the voters pickingThis reminds me of an old conversation I had with Kelly Hrudey.

“I believe we were headed to the Atlantic Finals. Won our last game 5–0, outshot something like 45–15, I liked the way we were going. We had a shot at reaching the Esso Cup — you never know what can happen. But for Tori, this is not someone who was a minor hockey prodigy by any means. She kept working to get better. If she was finished school and could immediately go to university, fine. But this can be fixed so she can have a legit possible shot at the next level.

“They were one of those teams you can’t get rid of. They won two in a row, and scored late in Game 5 to cut our lead to 4-3. We spent the last 15 seconds trying to get the puck out and won it.” “I had a feeling I was going to get traded,” Popovich said. “Some people thought it was a waste to go to Flint. Looking back, it was the best spot for me.”“It’s been real tough here,” said Greg Stefan, who coached 2006 Conn Smythe Trophy winner Cam Ward on that Carolina Stanley Cup champion. “The second skate on the ice with him, you could hear the comments in practice from the veteran guys. ‘I like this guy,’ they were saying. I knew right away.

“I don’t know how many players would get to say that,” he says. “It was a pretty crazy experience, but I wouldn’t take any of it back. So many connections, meeting so many different people, growing as a person and a player. Things happen for a reason.” He was dealt to Vancouver, where he re-united him with a childhood teammate, Dylan Plouffe. The Giants were the Western Conference’s No. 1 seed and went 12-3 in dispatching Seattle, Victoria and Spokane. That took them to the WHL championship against the only team to finish higher in the regular season, Prince Albert. The Raiders won Game 7 in overtime to go to the Memorial Cup. Joseph doesn’t like to talk about that one.The 2019-20 season would be just as tumultuous.

“The lactic acid was building up in my legs — it couldn’t clear out. We think it has to do with overtraining… the wrong kind of training. We can take the extra time this summer to buckle down and get a handle on it. I want to see where I can go from here. I know there’s a lot of work ahead, but that doesn’t matter to me.”Joseph is an excellent face-off man.. It blows my mind how strong he is. He has his hands so high on the stick. Patrice Bergeron, too.
