In this case, he's switching it down into first.

"I've always been maybe a little bit too fast sometimes," Helm said Monday morning. "Just getting out of position sometimes, getting a little antsy -- going after plays that weren't there, trying to finish a check that didn't need to be (finished).

lol, Helmer... not many guys can claim to be "too fast for their own good". Keep up the good work buddy. I will say he seemed a little more explosive on the forecheck and in the hitting department in past years, but overall he's grown into a more complete player. He's still fun as hell to watch.

Agreed, I like Helm.

he was the best player on the ice in the first period yesterday.

opposing players couldn't seem to keep him away from the puck. he's a feisty little motherfucker.

wait a minute, Eddie, only certain teams have that extra gear (although they currently seem to be stuck in some deep snow). Not even John Scott can push them out.

I think that team sold their extra gear to Atlanta. Not sure what the Thrashers are doing with it right now, I think it's gathering dust in a warehouse.

Mason Raymond was like that for a while.
Michael Grabner, too.

it's pretty sweet when the hands finally catch up.

Not so sweet when they don't (hello Rico Fata)

He is a powerplay's natural enemy.
