Dog Outing Sparked Waterproof Gear Realization
- Harman described taking his dog Bert to a two-hour baseball outing and how Bert sprinted nonstop, leaving him pleasantly exhausted the next days.
- The anecdote illustrated why Harman values waterproof gear now: after getting soaked walking back from a game his laptop nearly got wet and he wants practical rain solutions.
Buy Waterproof Gear Before The Rain Ruins Stuff
- Invest in quality waterproof clothing and accessories as you get older or if you own a dog that forces outdoor time in poor weather.
- Specific items suggested: a waterproof overcoat, waterproof shoes, waterproof socks, and a waterproof backpack for laptops.
Kucherov's Vision Creates Unique Defensive Challenges
- Harman and Dave noted Nikita Kucherov's exceptional play: 66 points in 30 games since Christmas and 111 points on the season, highlighting elite vision over pure speed.
- They emphasized Kucherov's unpredictability and lateral passing as the reason young Canucks defenders (DPD, Valander, Boqvist) will be tested reading seams and reacting quickly.
