Sprong took OVs spot for morning skate, but sounds like he's still a game time decision.

If OV misses the game due to injury, it will only be the 18th game of his career missed because of such

Starting lineups for a 7pm game must be submitted by 5pm. Only in this town do we have to wait until 6:58 to get them verified.




Damn, I was off by about 20 minutes. Confirmed at 6:38, no OV tonight.

   It looked like his stick caught in his hands. It wasn't much of a hook that's for sure. He only had one hand on his stick.

    I thought the 2 goals the Isles scored on the PP were lucky bounces for them.
The shorty we gave up was a softy by Samsonov combined with an unusual line change. I guess they figured there was going to be any kind of scoring chance. And there shouldn't have been.

     I'm not sure who they should go with on Tuesday. I'm liking Sammys game better even though he did let in a soft one.
     I'm guessing they will go with Vanecek.
