Looking for a top effort game tonight. They may not win, but I bet they are pushing hard. We need to get some guys going besides Chicky.  How about Strome and Protas stepping up and McMike to reappear!


I'm predicting a 4 to 1 win with goals by Protas, Chicky, Willy and the empty netter from Ovi.

Roy and Lapierre apparently had flu symptoms this morning, game time decisions.

Amazing what scoring a goal or two will do. They look spry all a sudden. Was gonna say that cummy PP hadn't scored a goal since Skynyrd got hurt. Then I remembered they miraculously got one 5 on 3 the other night. lol

PK and PP looked good that period. Bout it. Didn't realize how expensive PP goals were. We certainly can't buy one.


Yea Beagle, we'll definitely take a Willy and Ovi goal to finish off the night!
