Drive for FIVE!

Let's go Jackets *clap*clap*clapclapclap*

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

If the Isles get a 3 goal lead they're a lock to lose. Against the Blues they're probably a lock to lose anyway.

Buffalo has been playing very well as of late, so the Flames are in for a tough one tonight. Niemi and Bernier were lights out against Calgary, will Enroth make it three straight outstanding goalie performances against the Flames? Ramo gets the call between the pipes for the crimson clad boys.

It's really only Enroth that you need to worry about. The team still isn't scoring much other than their mini-breakout putting up 6 on Toronto and 4 on SJ in consecutive games. They've only scored more than 2 goals once since then. The D is improved too, but they're still giving up a lot of shots.

Is it true that everybody's favourite trade target Chris Stewart has been a healthy scratch?

 

[awaz]

just don't go to OT flyers. if you're going to lose, lets do it right. none of this hanging around and getting a point here and there.

or win. that's cool too.

Um, have you seen who the Flyers are facing? Just hang in there until the shootout and you got yourself 2 points my friend.

Yeah, one of the recent games. LA I think.

 

[beantownmaniac]

Bruins had a moment of silence for Beliveau tonight. You could have heard a pin drop. I'm glad there wasn't some idiot drunk to scream during it (or maybe he was in the men's room).

So Matt Read has been found by secret services - he's scored his first goal in forever

He started slow last year too, came around later on.

He might have been slow to start last season but this season he's been a complete turd sandwich - just awful

Sorry dash, didn't think I'd have this effect on them.

Though I will point out the shots are 38-15 in favor of Calgary as of me writing this.

In regards to the young man named Kevin the Jackets got off waivers;

You Connauton stop him, you can only hope to contain him. That's a 2 game goal scoring streak


So what's that chant I hear in the crowd there in DC? It's three horn blasts and then some chant. Like
*Honk* *honk* *honk* Let's DIVE Caps!

Somefin like that.

I think the Caps had more power plays than the Jackets had shots.

5 on 5, the shots were even. I can see why they are afraid to play 5 on 5.

 

[IndyAndy]

Just got home from work. Looks like Sharks & Wild are scoreless after the 1st.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Wild gotta start converting these odd man rushes.

Congrats on the win tonight, the funny thing is Calgary likely won the advanced stats battle, but lost where it counts.

Edit: Looks like Tyler Ennis had another fine game, where's Greg Nemisz these days?

 

[IndyAndy]

Sharks draw 1st blood on a PP goal by Brent Burns.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

This wild team just has no consistency
