“Playing a lot of minutes, being used on the power play and the penalty kill, when you play those type of minutes, you feel the flow of the game,” Hartman said. “You’re involved, you’re making a difference — as opposed to playing seven to 10 minutes and you get the puck and it feels foreign on your stick.”

Thorough. Perhaps a bit wayward. Consider the reality that, according to reports, Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Eberflus has been promised a second interview for the head coaching job before the Bears have hired a GM. And not only before the Bears have hired a GM but before they have come anywhere close to finishing their first-phase interviews for that job. McCaskey stressed last week that his preference was to hire a GM before moving on to hire a coach. But if that was the preference, why haven’t the Bears accelerated their efforts to get the GM position filled before doing so much extensive work exploring head coaching candidates? At some point, after the two hires are made, McCaskey, Phillips and Polian will have to provide more insight into the processes they used and the strategy that guided them. At this stage, the list of questions that need to be answered is growing.

“It’s been all part of an evolution, but I think it’s becoming clearer and clearer to Jon (Gurden), as well, that the talent is just not here at this time,” Davis said. “The drafts did not help supplement what we were doing in the free-agent market. If you look at our roster now, it’s a bunch of free-agent, one-year guys that are mercenaries. And they’re great guys, and they’re Raiders. Once a Raider, always a Raider … but we just don’t have the overall talent of a 22-man roster.”

Law enforcement has had the gun since the day after Rittenhouse shot three men, two of them fatally, on Aug. 25, 2020, during a night of protests and unrest in the southeastern Wisconsin city of Kenosha over the shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake, by a white police officer.

“His maturity is amazing,” DeMar DeRozan said of Dosunmu after Wednesday’s win. “For him to be on a great team, number one, and the presence that he brings, you wouldn’t think he’s a rookie. You’ve got to be special to carry yourself that type of way. It’s not in an arrogant way. He’s one of those guys that’s always inquisitive and always asking questions, constantly trying to find ways of learning. He accepts his mistakes and holds himself accountable, and that’s big for a young guy to be able to do that.

Stino has seen more of all of these issues, and that creates conversations with patients about how they might be experiencing stress. Some aren’t even aware they are grinding their teeth if it’s happening at night. Especially at the beginning of the pandemic, when a dentist’s office might be one of the few places patients actually went, they disclosed stress about losing jobs or juggling kids at home.
