I think you meant "Power Outage."

QuoteBelieve it or not, [Seminoff] has been a legitimate top-pair defenseman in the first six games of the season

Umm, I believe it. I was saying that all last season, too. Not that anyone ever cares what I think. *cough*Iggulden*cough*

QuoteTaylor has gotten better with every game, emerging as the team's second best blueliner after Seminoff.

*cough*Nash*cough* No offense to Taylor, but there's no contest here, in my mind.

While I'm at it, Greening will have at least one 20-goal season before he's done and will have the biggest impact of this class of forwards.

I thought he was going to Toshi Station to pick up some power converters.

You aren't/weren't alone.  I thought in the second half of the season, after O'Byrne and Gleed, Seminoff was our best defensemen.  All you doubters should take a look at either of the Colgate games and watch Seminoff match up against Tyler Burton.

I think it's interesting how much disagreement there is over Nash's play this season.  I'm in the camp that thinks he started out very strong in the first two games but came back to earth during the ECAC games.  I think he has a lot of potential (I agree with the Pokulok comparisons), but his strength and speed (lack thereof) are keeping him from being considered one of the top 2 d-men on the team.  Though in my mind, he's definitely a star two-way defenseman in the making.

QuoteMilo killed penalties in juniors but had not in his four games at Cornell, begging the question of why he was out there on such an important kill.
At the beginning of the season, at the end of the season, trying to get your momentum going in February, needing to look good going into exam break, playing any time against Harvard or Dartmouth or Colgate or Clarkson or St. Lawrence or Quinnipiac, unless you're up by 3 in the third against Union, every PK is important.

I think before the end of the year we will see Mugford gut a ref like a fish, just to see the entrails drip off his stick.
