Well, well, well.
I really think Ivan should be tried on a top line again, like last year.
He has an amazingly good shot sometimes, though I'm sure Bryz would like that one back.
I checked in to post outside the live thread because I'm watching on my DVR and was overjoyed to see that a goal by fro is coming. hee hee.
cheers
Good job by Zeiler on the fight.
He SHOULD start fighting more.
He's another one we should slot in on a different line to get him pestering the other top lines.
Great back check dive by Kopi.
When's that goal coming?
Great bounce back game by the Kings! WTG Guys! This was as good as I believed they could play. Let's take down Columbus on Monday. They looked good against the Flyers earlier.
Think TM and the boys didn't want a zero for Quick, IR and JZ no shifts in the third, O'S 23 minutes in a back to back, and POS racing to get back after missing a tap in with 13 minutes to go.
I am not sure how you can possibly go with two rookie goalies, but everything points that way. I wonder if Quick has the off ice maturity to handle the big time?
