Even when it is floating in mid-air, wobbling like a planet without a moon, Holmstrom has the puck on a string.
For other players around the league, the puck deflects off the ice and out of reach, but Simon didn't say bounce.

Everyone panicked when Horvat went down, but the only times Isles miss him is when they're on penalty kill, power play, or even-strength.

Isles are on-pace for 102 points.
112-pt pace in their last 30 games, against largely tough competition.
Next six weeks are mostly mediocre to bad opponents (plus one MIN, one PHI). Can Isles keep intensity up?
Will PK remain good? Will PP improve? Will Sorokin hold together?

I wrote a book. If you know any massage therapists (or aspiring ones), this could make a great gift.
Written mainly for MTs in their first few years, but there’s plenty in there for more experienced MTs who want to rethink their workflow, make their days less stressful.
