More dumb penalties

Was saving the GDT for when I came home from work - then plans changed while I was out and I swear we were stopped at every. Single. Fucking. Stop. Light. On the way home.

Oh, and then my computer took 10 mins to rev up.

All is good now.


GO RED WINGS!!!!!!!!!

They surely cannot win if they don't keep their ass outta the box.

This was basically WW88 on the 40-minute car ride home:

But I made sure to slow down, smile and wave at the police officer stationed off the exit ramp.

These goalies are getting scary confident playing the puck. One of them is going to screw up causing a goal

 

[sherbert1421]

Callahan is a pos. he really needs to get kronwalled

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

MRAZEK!!!!!!!!

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

[tsawchuk]

We certainly don't appear to be the better team after one period - too many lousy passes and losing too many key faceoffs. There's a bit too much of a nonchalant attitude at times; that'll get your ass in a sling real quick. Mrazek has kept us out of the heat that period. Win some faceoffs boys and take control of the neutral zone or else we're going to be on our heels this next period.

My reaction when researching that stat:

 

[tsawchuk]

I just had to check the stats myself.

Looks to me like the boys are a little tight, they just need to settle down and play their game, keep Stampos under control and just play.

Mrazek saving them so far.

Weak fucking penalty
