its come from the org (team, coaches, mgt). its comical especially to those who follow western conf teams. comical thing is other eastern teams have said similar things. for western clubs to have that kind of schedule for travel would require the season to start july 1...

Blue line shots are not going over well with Garon.

Third shot from the blue line that's gone in. I think one might have been deflected.

Jackets are giving up way to many penalties...it's like they are trying to lose this game.

[3074326]

I just hope we don't see prevent defense.

Dorsett is hurt.

Yay, they didn't give up a lead and they didn't let the other team have two points.

I think I meant "a point" here, but that works too.

For as good as they looked in the first period, they looked almost as bad in the 3rd. That being said, 2nd night of a b2b, on the road, backup goalie in, down Huselius, Blunden, Murray, Commodore, and eventually Dorsett....give me the 2 points over style points every time.

I also find them quite anti-climactic. Shootouts seem to be made up of short bursts of crowd energy (as opposed to the constant excitement of the final minutes of regulation/OT), and half the time they end on a missed shot (which is almost the definition of anti-climax unless you're a huge goalie fan). I guess it's better than a draw, but not by a whole lot.

Er, sorry, Bucknuts flashback, circa 2003.

Count me in as someone who finds shootouts boring in the NHL. At least, if you want to make them really count, do 5 like soccer does, not 3. Then the depth of the teams can really shine through as a measure of quality. The way it is now you get a couple of shots, and then a night of work is blown one way or the other. That one against San Jose really seemed anti-climatic, and maybe it was just me, but it didn't seem like crowd was too into it either (I know some of you were there, maybe I'm wrong). Plus when the guys finished, there was no big celebration by the winning team, just kind of a yippee, WTFE response. Contrast that with the OT winner in Washington where guys were excited...I dunno, I just don't care for it.

Bucks win. ND, UM, PSU lose.

Carolina has lost 11 in a row.

Don't let me down, boys.

[3074326]

Hell of a shift there for Mackenzie/Boll/Filatov.

Anybody else lose their feed? All I'm getting is some advertisement on FSO.
