From a scouting perspective, Dach had a very impressive shift. He made an excellent defensive play deep in his zone to spin away from the opponent. Nice puck skills and speed exiting the zone, smart feed to Newhook on the rush, solid puck retrievals in the O zone, and... chip to Newhook. A solid hit to take Fabbro out of the play went to the front of the net and bumped Fabbro away with the purpose of establishing a net-front presence. Even his shot was decent other than not raising the puck but that is often the case that close in...it was simply a great save. He also diligently got two more cracks at it, and had the right idea. Two more good saves. I loved that shift from him. If he does that consistently, he will start producing.show more

He will get back to his old self. It’s all in his head coming back from a messed up knee. People need to be patient

Mario Daigle1 year ago

💯 this. I remember this shift thinking this is the Dach I was looking forward to seeing again this year. If there are more shifts like this, he’ll get closer to his potential

Zie1 year ago

Do you think Demidov is the key to unlocking Dach’s offensive game? Also any thoughts on Hughes pursuing Ehlers this summer to play across from Laine?

Sam Atalla1 year ago

Thanks Grant. I noticed the same thing. He's been improving slowly.

Dburg1 year ago

Seeing this shift was a breath of fresh air. I am hopeful that this is a sign that he is making progress in getting back to playing like he was before he got hurt.

Dach’s xG% has been trending north. Enough with the knee jerk media crap, he’s been coming along.

Sam Atalla1 year ago

Any chance we can get Rotenberg to talk to him?

NotSoSlimShady1 year ago

He needs to sit at least 2-3 games, because 1 good shift every 10-15 games means that he’s back.

No joke this is the best offensive zone shift I’ve seen from Laf in his entire career. Look at the confidence with the puck. Oh, and he also kept the puck in the zone and created a chance for himself. #NYR

COACHES: If we want to develop better hockey players, we need to talk more about work AWAY FROM THE PUCK. Here are two clips to show your players on this concept. 1. GIVE-AND-GO: One of my favorite youth coaches was from Russia and Tarasov's school of hockey...and his biggest pet peeve was passing and then not moving. He would literally stop practice and make us do a somersault if we passed and stood still. Our team won a national championship, we had half our team play college hockey, and his emphasis on this I think was a huge part of our development. Why is a give-and-go big? When a defender is on you and you pass it, that split second is when they're most vulnerable. They have to look at where the puck goes but also pay attention to you. By moving right away after passing, their attention shifts, even so briefly, which allows you to get open to get it back. Check out this AMAZING give-and-go between McDavid and Draisaitl. These guys are on another level and McDavid is truly superhuman at working away from the puck. 2. WORK TO SUPPORT THE PUCK: On the second clip, watch how hard Tarasenko speeds through the neutral zone to get to a spot of support. If he doesn't, this play ends in a dump in and an easy breakout. But he hightails it, like he's shot out of a cannon, and even though he doesn't get the puck, his speed without the puck allows him to get pressure on the forecheck. 3. WORK TO GET THE PUCK BACK: Then you have Kaprizov, one of the most skilled players in the world, working to track back on the forecheck. His effort helps create the turnover and he gets rewarded with the goal. If you want to play offense, the harder you work away from the puck defensively, the more you'll benefit offensively by getting possession back. Even the best players in the world only have the puck on their stick for maybe one minute during a game. As coaches and in player development, the more we can emphasize play without the puck, the more we'll develop smarter and better players.

KIDS: I had a Russian coach growing up, one of the best coaches I've ever had, whose biggest habit he instilled in us was moving without the puck. He would make us do a somersault on the ice if we passed the puck and just stood there in practice. All practice he would be yelling GET OPEN!!! Our team was the best I've ever seen with give-and-go's. We were programmed to always be moving to support the puck, especially just after we passed it. We developed so much hockey sense under him with that mentality as it continually forced us to anticipate where the play was going. That year, we won the National Championship and we had a ton of players end up playing college hockey. This is a PHENOMENAL clip of what he would have been so proud of. Pass, move, get it back, goal. Nolan Allan gets the puck, moves it quick, dashes right to the net while the defender watched the pass, and then receives it right back and buries. Absolute gold. Coaches, this is a great clip to show your teams on the power of moving away from the puck and the give-and-go. Great job and congrats to Allan on his first NHL goal!!

COACHES: Here is a GREAT teaching clip of something I see in youth hockey all the time. A player will skate the puck towards one of their teammates and will then pass it to them. It's one of my biggest pet peeves in the game. When you skate the puck towards your teammate, you're effectively bringing defenders towards them too so when you give them the puck you've put them in a difficult spot because now with more defenders near they have less time and space to make a play. This clip is a great example. The CHI defenseman skates the puck toward his partner and then tries to give him a pass. They turn the puck over with two CAR forecheckers now right there and the puck ends up in the back of the net. In youth hockey you see defenseman do this a lot and even more so they'll skate it towards their winger and then give them the puck either on the breakout or in the neutral zone. A better solution would be to move it right away or suck defenders towards you (and away from) your teammate so when you pass to them they'll have more time and space. Phenomenal teaching clip on time and space!!

“It’s tough. I can’t generate offense. I do my job; I try to keep the puck out of our net, and hope that our guys can generate a couple.” Dustin Wolf had his guy. The Flames need to start putting the puck in the net.

Rafael Devers on waving off his pinch runner in Miami: "It was a misunderstanding. Two days prior to that I had told the manager that I had a problem with my hamstring and I thought that was the reason he was taking me out of the game ... it just got a little bit blown out of proportion." He went on to say he apologized to Tony Vitello after the game, "which was the right thing to do."

ELON MUSK: "I have seen more and more people who were convinced of the woke ideology see the light. Not everyone, but more and more are seeing the light. There was a friend of mine who was living in the San Francisco Bay area and they tried to trans his daughter to the point where the school sent the police to his house to take his daughter away from him. He managed to talk the police out of taking his daughter away from him that day. That night he got on a plane to Texas. A year after being in a school in greater Austin area, she went back to normal."

Frost: I think part of the reason we’re even in this war with Iran is that he’s looking for anything he can do to shift attention away from the fact that not only is he in the Epstein files, but he’s in them a lot, and he had a very close relationship with Epstein. He’s engaged in one of the greatest cover-ups we’ve ever seen from a president.

Clear offensive-zone identity shift for Carolina: • Hunt pucks • Outnumber opponents on and around the puck • Extend zone time through pressure and possession • Spread the ice low/high, release to back of net • Once possession is established and the opposition starts to wear down, create motion throughout the zone, especially downhill from the high ice • Pull defenders out of the slot, creating 1v1 isolation at the net front

NBC’s Tom Llamas: “I wonder, Ryan, if [King Charles III] was sending a subtle message — a maybe not-so-subtle message — to our President in he said ‘America's words carry weight and meaning and they have since the independence the actions of this great nation matter even more.’” Ryan Nobles: “I don't see how you could not interpret it as such, Tom. And I have to say, being in the room and it may not have been picked up if you are watching on television, when he said those two lines, there was a hush, almost gasp you would describe from the Democratic side of the chamber in that moment. That clearly resonated with certain members of Congress in the room. And then when he drove that point home by referencing president Lincoln and the Gettysburg Address, saying the world may little know what we say but will never forget what we do, that was as powerful a moment as anything that he gave over the course of that roughly 25-minute speech. And there were multiple opportunities for him to use his subtle nature to drive home a point. Right before that section that you had brought up, Tom, he talked all about how the United Kingdom and the United States need to reinforce their alliance and that they will ‘continue to defend our shared values with partners in Europe and the Commonwealth across the world’ and that they ‘ignore the clarion calls to become ever more inward looking,’ which, of course, has been a degree of criticism for the Trump administration at different points. The other thing I think is very interesting thing to point out, which you may not realize if you were watching at home, I had the prepared remarks in front of me, that the king did not at any point stray even a syllable away from the remarks that he had prepared to deliver hear in this chamber. A very research-much different approach from Donald Trump or any other president. Bill Clinton was known to stray from his script from time to time to drive home a point. Even when he was interrupted by applause or laughter, he would go immediately back to where he was in his prepared remarks. Just kind of an indication of the type of public speaker he is and the type of public figure he is that he had a very specific plan in mind, a very specific message that he wanted to send, and he did not deviate from that goal even little bit over the course of this speech.”

He was 16 when he pulled the trigger. The kid died. He went to prison. Four and a half years later, he got out… and went right back to the streets. It wasn’t until he faced five armed robbery charges.. While holding his newborn daughter, that he realized something had to change. Larry Miller didn’t just escape the cycle. He shattered it. From a prison cell to becoming Chairman of the Jordan Brand, his story is proof that who you were doesn’t have to define who you become. But it wasn’t easy. He had to walk away from everything—and everyone—he knew. He had to face his demons. He had to rewrite his identity. In this episode of No Free Lunch, I sat down with Larry to unpack the mindset shift, the decisions, and the discipline it took to become a top executive at one of the most iconic brands in the world. This is one of the most powerful stories I’ve ever heard. And it’s one you need to hear in full.

Governor A. A. Sule, while explaining in Hausa why he endorsed Sen. Wadada as the APC consensus candidate in Nasarawa State, said it was based on fairness and equity. He explained that the Lafia zone had produced governors for about 13 years, the Keffi zone for about 8 years, while his own Akwanga zone, which he is about to complete his tenure in, has also had about 8 years. Therefore, he felt it was only fair to return the governorship to the Keffi zone. He also stated that he met with all stakeholders from the Keffi zone and asked them to present one person who could win the election and succeed him. Initially, they gave him the mandate to choose any qualified person among them. After careful consideration, he concluded that Senator Wadada was the most capable of winning the election across Nasarawa State, which was why he chose him as the consensus candidate.

They chased him off the property. Even if the teen had a gun, and even if that gun fell during the chase, the bigger question is whether he had reason to fear for his own life once grown men were pursuing him away from the store. From his perspective, he may not have known what they intended to do. He could have believed they were chasing him to beat him, hold him, or even kidnap him. In that situation, it is fair to ask whether he also had a right to defend himself. The focus should not only be on whether he had a gun. The focus should also be on why he was chased off the property in the first place and whether the people chasing him created the danger that led to the shooting.

An elephant was walking right in the middle of the road in a forest area, effectively blocking it. Even then, a sports bike rider, trying to act smart, attempted to squeeze past the elephant from the side. He didn't wait even a little for the elephant to move away. The elephant immediately got angry and charged at him, seemingly trying to attack him. The biker sped away in panic, but his bike fell off the side of the road, and he had to run on foot to save himself. He narrowly escaped with his life. Such reckless people put not only their own lives at risk because of their stupidity, but also the lives of others.

"I threw 262 significant strikes and shot for 26 takedowns, and the world just expects Carlos Prates to up the gear. I put a pace on that man. That man was lucky to be standing in the octagon. He came in that last round more dangerous than he did the other 4, because he knew he had to win. He was like a wounded animal. He was more dangerous in that 5th round, and he went out there and he tried his best. Unfortunately, his best wasn't good enough." Ian Machado Garry on the 5th round performance from Carlos Prates.
