Nice to have this afternoon game out of the way. Now the Doobster could dedicate the rest of the day to video games. Will be back this evening to comment on some of the other games. Should be some good ones. Doobster is looking forward to

Avalanche @ Kings

Red Wings @ Maple Leafs

Sabres @ Bruins

Flyers @ Blue Jackets

Hurricanes @ Lightning

Oddly chippy game. Hated Giordano by the end. He had a few slew-esque moments. Maybe it's because of the guys that are in the lineup, but it's another game against a team we don't see often, and another one filled with a lotta hate. Big hits, although no fights.

Favorite moment of the game.

Dang, I hope Russell's injury isn't serious. Have I mentioned before that I hate afternoon games? Nice to see (although I didn't haha) the Flames battle back and make it close in the end.

How about Brandon Sutter? Hello, hello, geez I guess Shero hung up the phone.

Pretty sure that was the terrible triad there (ACL, MCL, medial meniscus). Looked 100% blown out. Really rough to watch...and that's coming from me.

I sat and tried to think of a way I would trade Sutter to you guys...I got nothing. I shouldn't be thinking so far in advance, but...I know Squiddy will get moved unless the Flames make a major turnaround, and I really HATE playing against him, so I'm sure I'd love having him, haha. I know he's a natural center...but mayyyybe he wants some time on the wing?

By the way, nice rocket by Crosby today. He didn't use to have that kind of clapper (pretty easy to tell he's worked on that aspect of his game).

My favorite part about Sid is the fact that he sincerely chooses some aspect every year to work on. First it was faceoffs, then it was defense, then PK, then redirecting pucks. Piece by piece. That goal was slick, mostly because of the teensy little chip just past center to get past the dman. It was insanely impressive.
