When Malenstyne comes back, does he get a sweater? What about Wilson? Who sits then? Protas, Milano? Certainly don't see them sitting Mojo or Eller.. Never mind, what am I thinking. We'll have another injured forward or two by then anyway..  :)

Did Alexeyev get hurt toward the end of the game?  I notice his shifts and TOI suddenly stopped.  Or was it a coach's decision?  He seemed to be doing OK when he was in there.

Concussion protocol - and definitely needed.  He got clocked but good.  I would expect he has a concussion.


 - 5 minute major, match penalty assessed to Olesiak for the hit to the head.  I would expect he gets 3 days suspension for the hit.

Pretty well played game I thought.  We OWNED the entire second period.  Could have been 4-1 in the second.  We let off in the third some, but still competed.  Much better team D.  Lindy has looked good, but the team has played well in front of him.  Not to take anything from LIndy - he played an excellent game.
Also nice to see the boys actually beat an opponent with better than .500 record


The 5 minute PP was atrocious - talk about a momentum shift and game changer.  Good think Volcano snuck one end at the end.

Yea, Alexeyev got his clock cleaned on that high head hit. Was down for a few minutes before looking wobbly, straight down the tunnel. I heard they talked to him after and he "seemed" in good spirits.. Hopefully not a lengthy recovery, but definitely a concussion.


Fever was also seen after the game, w/o an arm brace! Hopefully he's getting close as well.
