Just a thought, if anyone hasn’t been getting their recommended weekly allowance of Hollweg, his younger brother Bryce plays one of his last home games for Army tonight, the first game of the Black Knights’ playoff series against American International. They also play on Saturday night, and Sunday night if AIC manages to win one.

Agravaine,

Where do you wait for Autographs? How early? My wife wants to meet Avery.

newman – couldn’t have said most of that better myself. Yes, I think wally sits when mara’s ready to come back. Further, I’d start Struds vs buff, fla or TB. Probably just 1 of them to keep what legs he has under him. Also noticed prucha/holly not looking too thrilled. Prucha should just look at his checkbook.

Shootouts belong in carnival side-shows; circus big-tent clown acts; in Three Stooges reruns, and in Gary Bettman’s bathtub.

Solid all around game last night.

One thing on Backman…still not convinced just yet.

On the D and that goal: Clearly not Hank’s fault. But, the D has to start chopping the wood out of the front of the net. They are too worried about playing the puck and not the body. Our biggest weakness (if Hank can start playing like that every night) is our D’s softness around the puck.

But not to harp too much on the small negatives, we played a solid game for the 1st and 3rd periods. There were a few mins in the 2nd where the Isles turned it on and pressured us.

Was glad to see the resolve and the ability to come out aggressive in the 3rd and put it away.

Also nice to see the help around the league from Toronto and Florida.

No regulation losses in the last 11, I think. Not bad. Even the Ducks who were on fire are 7-3 in last 10 now. We starting to roll right at the good time.

Back to Backman for one second….Mara comes back, do you sit Wally? Just get nervous anytime Wally has the puck in our zone.

And Shoe….fuggedaboutit. The guy is a bull and never stops moving his feet.

BTW, anyone catch the post game entrance into the locker room? Prucha and Hollweg didn’t look too happy.

And Richard is right….about the time change obviously but more right about the fairweather d-bags on this site pissing and moaning.

thanks for reminding about the clocks, it really makes a difference when getting there early for the autographs :^)

As one of the suckoffs and blowhards from Tuesday Night (thanks Richard), I thought we had a great 1st and 3rd last night, but the difference?? Lundqvist. That was simply the point I was trying to make the other night when I was acting like a “fairweather fan.” When Hank is on and making the big saves-we are a force to be reckoned with. He kept us in it last night in the 2nd when we needed it and we won comfortably.

HUGE weekend coming up with 4 points that can set us up beautifully for the last 3-4 weeks.

And another round of kudos to Staal and Backman for not taking a tired/lazy penalty when they got caught out there for 2min of an islander forecheck.
