Id put a lot of money that Saturday will be the last competitive hockey game he ever plays 

That would be my guess as well.
With how much has been said about how much pain he's going thru and trying to manage during the week just so he can play on the weekends...that's just not sustainable longterm, and probably not for another season.

I had never heard that story about the 1959 UND champ team that had a converted forward playing goalie.
Pretty crazy.

Completely forgot about Berry taking out an ad to spite Jackson.

Shows how Berry didn’t have a clue about anything

There had been so much obviously wrong with Berry for more than a few years and the ostriches kept their heads buried because he was a "nice guy"...except he isn't actually that nice.

I’m so excited for this upcoming week. There’s lots of time to rehash other stuff. Let’s go get #9!!!

His daughter making a fool of herself on social media, while not a good look, is at least partially attributable to her frontal cortex not being fully developed. But a man of Berry's age burning the bridge behind him really showed his hand.

Verhoeff was on Marek's show last week.

Schloss article on the four CHL guys on the team and their thoughts on going to the F4 and their season:

First off, if you don’t subscribe to the GF Herald, you should for this month. Schloss is cranking out great articles and doing his best to promote the culture, coaching staff, locker room dynamics, etc that will pay dividends with many eyes watching the program this week. 

To me, this quote highlights one the biggest difference from last year…playing the young talent throughout the year and letting them grow from their experiences (in the article today about Zeller’s history in Vegas);

"They know I'm going to make mistakes out there, but they let me come back to the bench, let me know in a timely manner that I made a mistake there, but they also trust me to get back out there. They're not putting me down for mistakes, but they're coaching me. They've been unbelievable and have helped my game so much."
