    A possible reason we didn’t see Luke sign a professional deal?....... @thegronk5 Had carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists. One right after the other. I'm now ambidextrous.
    Brandon Pirri: Turk would give it to Jagr. That's awesome! Jagr's untouchable. And he would give it to Jagr.

Those are the goals fans want to see established and reached. How you do it doesn't matter. They don't give points for style. it doesn't matter if you win 20 games 1-0 or 7-6. Just get this program off the mat, and back to being relevant again. Losing a couple of guys early last year and then getting hit so hard with injuries this season really set the program back. If they can stay relatively healthy next winter they should be a factor in the ECAC. If not, then everyone will be justified in saying, "we have a problem (in) Houston."
        While "win more than you lose" is an admirable goal, it quickly gives rise to the question, "how do you do that in actuality?" You need some kind of measuring stick or marker to let you know you are on the right path and progressing at the right pace.

          That marker is wins and losses. Many coaches divide seasons into segments. With 34 games, you might divide the season into three 11 game segments, with one game left over. Set a goal of winning more than you lose in each of those thirds with the ultimate goal to be playing your best hockey - winning the most games - in the final third, leading into the post-season. Stats - PP %, shots on goal, etc. don't matter. "Just win baby."

          When a team has many freshman and sophomores, it is reasonable to expect that the first 1/3 or 2/3 of the season would produce fewer wins than the last 1/3, but the ultimate goal is to win competitions.

            Bingo. As much as you can focus on fundamentals to help increase the probability of achieving the "W" ("Chance favours the prepared mind." --Travis Dane, "Under Siege 2"), many games we play have the team scoring goals doing it on a counter-attack, and that probability goes right out the window. How to achieve the W depends on the opponent.

                      With the amount of time people spend in front of keyboards nowadays, I'm surprised more people don't need it.

                            I think the pharmacies stock a zillion of those wrist braces for that exact reason. The incidence is actually decreasing some lately as more people use tablets and cell phones rather than keyboards on older traditional computers.

                              I read from a fairly reliable source that it was actually nagging. Considering he was able to do what he did for all that time, I'm quite stunned.

                                There's not too much winning to be done in the next few months (unless you're Carlos Estevez, of course), so might as well look forward to the schedule.
