On a more.... ummm ... hockey note. Ziggy just isn't ready yet. His mental discipline and consistancy just isn't there. He had a few decent games, but can't seem to keep it up yet. I think he needs a tad more seasoning.
I thought Oshie had one of his better games tonight. I really, really like TJ, but he frustrates and annoys the hell out of me sometimes. It almost seems like he loses confidence easily.
Congrats to Ovi! He's now the most point scoring Russian ever, just overtaking Federov.
Our D wasn't as bad as they have been for some time. Which isn't saying a whole hell of a lot, let's face it....... but still.
WE WON!
Even if it was against the Kanucks, who played yesterday and are on the road and we only just beat them and they no longer have the Sedin's.
It was great to see Beagle again and that was a lovely moment when Ovi went over and gave him a hug.
It was really good that we crashed and attacked the net and got rewarded for it. Biscuit anyone?
I agree
I was just saying...LAST game I think, that I prefer Ziggy over Djoos, but last night Ziggy looked exposed. Although, I don't think Juice is the answer. He has better sense and positioning, but he simply is not big enough - not physical enough to be a bonafide NHL D man. Ziggy may NOT be ready, but I think he will get there with some good coaching and experience. He certainly has the size and he seems quick enough - he just gets caught because his game isn't quite there yet. Not sure what we can do. Juice aint it, Bowey is in the doghouse, and we sure as hell can't afford the price tag of a real D man.
I think our D looked better last night - alot of that is team D, but Nisky and Orlov looked better for a change. Orlov, for the most part has been trying to get his own Volcano this year.
Nice to see the team play with some effort and nice to see Holtz rewarded with a win. He had some game savers last night - glad they weren't wasted.
