OV has 1499 career points.. still.
Tonight will be Kuzy’s 700th career game.
Milano is a healthy scratch.
Lindy in net.

Oh Hell.  8pm start.  Nationally televised?  We ALWAYS do well in those.
F a bunch of ESPN and 8pm start

[Mickstix]

Oh kewl, ESPN.. Looks like I don't get the pregame show tonight.  And if I had to guess, the games in DC, so we'll get some Dallas homers doing the call? 

[alta]

We just went from 10:30 to 9:00, 8:00 seems reasonable before getting back to 7:00. You gotta ease into the readjustment or you end up with the runs.


 

[Mickstix]

Kuzy been talkin all kinds of shit since the scratch. Really hope he backs it up with something more than an extra stick penalty.

[richkrt99]

Lets hope friggin so Kuzy, but you know....31 years old is a bit old to have to be told to sit in time out.

[richkrt99]

I cant get any of the streams to work

[Surreylily]

Morning chaps.   

[Surreylily]

I cant get any of the streams to work

3rd one down is working for me... for now...   


Scrap that.   

[Surreylily]

Try the 9th one...   

[alta]

GOOOAAALLLL

PROTAS

[Surreylily]

 


WE GOT A GOAL!

[alta]

PP…

[Surreylily]

Uh oh.

[richkrt99]

we wil never score on the PP again

[richkrt99]

pfff ovi.  Phillips looks like a little kid in the middle

[richkrt99]

Phillips must work his ass off in practice.  Im surprised he's our next man up

[Mickstix]

I liked that PP better than most. Bummer is, that loose puck in the slot with Phillips. That's were Backy would of put a backhand on Ovi's wide open blade. We lack in high skills.

[Surreylily]

I think it might happen tonight....
