Two things: 1, I’m back after a two month hiatus. And 2, all of our defenders are gone. Two-fifths of what remains are guys with various spellings of the name John. Here we analyze if either is poised to make significant contributions in this teams hour of need.
I’m back!
Did you guys miss me?
Did you even notice I was gone?
Don’t answer that — I’ll just assume all of you endured a gaping hole in your lives in my absence and so I may continue feeling important.
For the seven or eight people that noticed I was gone and do not know me personally I probably owe you a small explanation, if for no other reason than it is relevant to my hockey blog writing.
