[Mickstix]

Mantha!

[richkrt99]

Hillbilly Here!  Just in time for Big Tony Ray Ray.


Damn that dude is like....actually doing his job.  What a novelty

[richkrt99]

I see Vitek is in goal.  That's two in a row, no?


And Sprong gets a sweater two games in a row?

[Mickstix]

Yep, good see Mantha earning that salary! Sprong only getting ice cause Eller is on (I thought the NHL did away with) flu protocol. And yes, Rebound gets the net 2 games in a row! 

[richkrt99]

Sprong / McMicheal / Wilson


Who did Tom piss off? 

[Mickstix]

Sprong / McMicheal / Wilson


Who did Tom piss off? 

 He's on the "3 second" forecheck line! 

[Mickstix]

Mantha x2!! Had the lucky shamrock on him for that one!

[richkrt99]

Damn Big Tony.  Yeah he must have a horseshoe in his jock for that one to go in.

[Mickstix]

Didn't look like they were shadowing Ovi on that PP. Bummer he couldn't get a clean look.

[Mickstix]

BS penalty call. What else is new.

[richkrt99]

How is that interference?  The puck was loose in their skates.

[alta]

[alta]

[Mickstix]

I'll see your corned beef dinner and raise you a Annie's soft pretzel w/ lotsa mustard, for intermission snack!

[Mickstix]
