Sorry you couldn't use that first for Guerin or someone.

That first hurts the farm, but the 3rd coming back will help.

O'Brien made his debut last night, and while he was on the ice for the GWG in OT, he played pretty well.

What I liked most about him is he didn't sit back like a lot of rooks and new guys do. When he had an opportunity to rush it, he did (and well) and when he had the chance to jump into the play, he looked like a kid playing street hockey -- very excited.

He went lumberjack on someone in front of the net - my/our worry is like the other d-first dmen in Tampa, he'll turn into a stickchecker only.

I like what I've seen so far.

He could be a 3/4 guy who flirts with 30 points in the future in TB's offense-from-defense system.
