Not  a lot to say about this game so far.

[Mickstix]

Yep, was lookin like same ol shit till Bear scored. We usually play a decent 20 at some point. Usually don't get rewarded.

[alta]

Bear scored and Edmundson got in a fight. Not a bad 1st.

[Mickstix]

So, call me crazy.. But I like this 1st line. Should be a thing.


Ovi-Kuzy-Wilson gonna have to figure it out and we'd have 4 decent lines. Prolly still won't score, but they'll look good! lol

[Surreylily]

Quacks making us look good.   

[Mickstix]

Quacks making us look good.   

   My bad

[Surreylily]

 
at the start of the game, they showed the comparison stats between both goalies and theirs were even worse than K's   

 

And we're still only 1 up.   
 

[Mickstix]

Yeah, prolly gonna needa shoulda coulda woulda score more than 1 tonight.

[Surreylily]

I'm starting to get a little worried that the inevitable is going to happen......

[alta]

GOOOAAALLLL

WILSON

[Caps17201]
