2011 Playoff Run
Game 3 of the ECF against Tampa should be on tonight. Watching the 2011 replays shows the real difference in how the game is played just 10 years later. In 2011 we essentially used the starting defense on the Power Play; no comparison to how good our groupings are today. One...
Good win!
D replacements struggled at time and Pasta needs to remember how to exert some energy on his back checking but overall a good win. Their goalie probably feels he should have stopped both shots and Tuukka was certainly on last night. My brother and wife picked this game to be their...
Tampa
One takeaway from the game was we need to do a better job of protecting Pasta. There were a lot of people taking liberties with him before/during and after the play including the first goal. It's one of the reasons I was hoping that Kevan Miller would make it back and be our protector...
Upcoming Tampa
All they need now is a split of the games (I know...bad reasoning). I am going to the Saturday night game at the Garden. It will make up for the Calgary game we went to on Tuesday.
Back on track...
Good bounce back win for the B's last night with one of the new B's contributing to the win. Way too early to get excited but we shall see; Tampa on a loosing streak certainly helps.
My 7th Player award vote goes to Carlo; he's becoming a D-man you can count on every night...
Something a little different
Honorable mention to:
Pousette Dart Band
Jonathan Edwards
Tavares
Spyro Gyra
Manhattan Transfer
Boz Scaggs
and many more.....
Halak...
has been a problem the last three games he's played. Never gave up softies and now he's giving them up two at a time. Give Tuukka a couple in a row. The B's are coming up on their week off so bank as many games as they can.
B's Start
B's have started off fast; disappointed that Karson Kuhlman (and Krejci) got hurt. Kuhlman is probably the fastest skater on the team so hopefully back in a month. Cup rematch tomorrow, B's should win since the Blues goaltending has been shaky.
