Early offseason when you're eliminated from the playoffs is always a solid time to relax and reflect on how things went for you during the season and also a prime time to talk with coaches and trainers to see what areas are worth improving on.  For J.P., this offseason was a huge one.  After taking a bit of a hiatus to get his affairs in order, he made the big move from Great Falls to Montreal for the big debut.  It is such a stacked rookie class this year that his trainers and he himself knew it would be a tough fight for a coveted "Rookie of the Year" award, among other things.  So with the last couple weeks closing in before the first puck drop of the season, it was back to work...hard work for the humanoid peanut in order to get mentally and physically prepared for the big leagues.  As we have all learned, playing with the big kids is nowhere like playing with the juniors.
