Mr.Majestyk: Yeah, I agree with you Racki.He’s pretty slow, but I already knew that…he has a knack for finding the back of the net though.So I hope he gets healthy soon so he can help us win some games.On the replay, I think Comrie put the tip of his blade on top of the puck a la Phil Bourque.It wasn’t as obvious, not sure what he was trying to do there.

Racki: Tyler, I don’t think it’s his game-compete level they were frustrated with – perhaps consistency of it (which is a very valid point). But it sounds more like they were concerned with the effort he brings to practice. He’s one of the leaders on the team too, so if he’s out there half-assing it, it doesn’t set a very good example. But at the same time, this was one thing that really bothered me about Pete Peeters. He was all about practice. If you weren’t standing on your head making saves in practice, you didn’t start the games. And I thought it hindered Garon a lot because some guys just don’t bring it to practice. Soooo.. on that note, do I think the same of Quinn/Renney here? No. Damn you, hypocrisy. Maybe I just understand Peeters a bit more now.One thing to say though that I’ve heard others say… could you imagine Hemsky if he had the work ethic of a guy like Horcoff? This is why Quinn/Renney got mad with him. If he brought it every night and every day he could be a real superstar.

Sorry, but this reminded me of this. We’re talkin’ ’bout practice!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exOxUAntx8I&feature=related

I thought Hemsky has been playing fine the last few games, but maybe the coaching staff thinks that he can still play better. He was amazing in the Columbus game, he was on Nash’s ass all night, he even hit him!
