Easily the highlight of my afternoon. At any rate, from where I was standing, de Haan was the most impressive player on the ice. You could see why the Isles liked him. Most important thing I took out of the second group's practice: don't sleep on Travis Hamonic. He was in beast mode today. Met Chris Botta today. Easily the highlight of my afternoon.

That's not good. We don't want to see him in the penalty box all season. He needs to skate skate skate!! So JT was on the ice for his first practice and already got his first penalty?

Snow just sitting back doin nothing. Tavares is going to be a big target once the season starts, it is absolutely unreal how Snow has done ZERO thus far in getting Tavares some protection as well as picking up another forward(TANGUAY!!!), would be a start It would be nice if Snow got Tavares some help now…Moen to Montreal.
