Dean Logan Mankins is huge!!! that guy is going to have some impact. Oh and the Sox did awesome yesterday and so did the Celtics.
I'm still pissed off about Antoine getting a one game suspension in the Celtics.. O'Neal should of gotten something too. It's so unfair and even the broadcasters agreed. Oh well Antoine will be in the next game on Tuesday, but even when we didn't have him yesterday.. our team still did awesome.
Red Sox beat Texas Rangers, 9-2 Good job Sox! Johnny did good and so did Arroyo.
In other rants...
I went to the Pack game yesterday, and the Pack are now out
sweatdrop . I was of course rooting for the Pack, but knew that Lowell would somehow win in the end. For a fact that Lowell has three players who played for the Flames in last year's Stanley Cup playoffs.
Now If I were the coach I would of benched Bouchard - after his first shift, I told Fairfan it's too bad teletransporters weren't in existence, we could have brought in MacIntyre
Pock- He had his moments, but wasn't consistent enough to deserve some ice time.
Balej - had some nice shots, most of which were stopped by Ward with no rebound. Plays around with the puck too much. At this point, maybe he should have kept it simple and bowled over people to get into the offensive zone because trying to circle back and cut around the opponent just wasn't doing anything. Maybe have faster linemates (can't remember the lines tonight)
Giroux - can't remember him doing anything
Hamilton - I think he had a few shifts but he didn't stand out
Wiseman - don't know if he was ready to come back
Ulmer, Lawson - they filled the roster sheet
Herein lies the problem:
Lundmark - played well. I am not a fan, nor will I be a fan, but after tonight's game: if he plays like this from here on out, I will never publicly say another negative things about him (this does not incluce comments in passing to Fairfan or my friends in Windsor). If I had been so inclined, I might have given him a hug because, even though he didn't score, he played well. He was an active participant in the game. I was happy with his performance; and while I'm sure I could have found some nitpicking negative comment, I wasn't inclined to do so tonight.
Moore - had pickplays on him everytime he brought the puck into the offensive zone. Had no one in front of the net to shoot the puck toward. Had no one to hit the opponent so he could do his thing. I found that he tried to fight it at the beginning, but got tired, or gave up, as the game progressed.
Murray, Gernander, Hollweg, Ortmeyer - um, yeah. Grinders. Hitters. Checkers. They did this. Murray even had a shot toward the net. I think toward the middle of the game, if they hadn't been already, McGill should have given them reign to maybe try to get some rust off the offense that is hiding, somewhere deep inside. We've all seen them do something with the puck, at least once. The third period, with two minutes to go, and the goalie pulled, is not the best time to think of this.
Grenier, MacMillan, Weller - solid - played his zone. Did his best to keep the opponent away from his goalie. That's how I like my d-men
Last season was worst though, but the Pack played like they wanted it. This year they just didn't which really ticked me off.
This just says it all:
Gillies has already gone golfing!!
