That’s right up there with the Ruutu, Snuggerud, and a 1st for Gretzky back in the day.

The Utah Maroni.

I hope the little rat bastard never lives the face lick down.

It was funny when Montour was doing the licking motion at Marchand during their scrum.

Ink made that post a day before the game when we had no idea that Murray was healthy enough to play.

Be nice to see Savoie vs. Komarov in the Memorial Cup finals.

Do I get any points for getting the province right? 😄

Good. Now Mark Stone can get the proper treatment for that pesky, long term injury he so desperately needs.

First Bandits game I’ve watched this season. It seems like each time I watch them, they are a 4th quarter juggernaut.

This Moose Jaw vs Saskatchewan series is one for the ages. Five of the six games have gone to OT. Moose Jaw must win to stay alive.

Actually, that game started at 4pm EDT and Moose Jaw is up 1-0 early.

Wonder is this gangs got together again last night. Talk about a deja vu

Sucks about Stillman, but the Amerks can really use Clague. The Lightning saw fit to return two Dmen to Syracuse for their playoff run and the Sabres should have done that with Clague at least.

It was nice of the Crunch to go into Alamo mode in the 3rd period. They simply stopped sending forecheckers and the Amerks enjoyed clean breakout after clean breakout; something they hadn’t been able to do pretty much the entire series to that point. And once the Amerks got rolling, Syracuse was unable to recapture the momentum, which is often impossible in sports. Any chance that Stillman and Clague might return next Friday?

I don’t get any satisfaction from seeing disappointed Leafs fans because we can all relate, but it’s always nice to see Toronto’s arrogant media get its comeuppance. Never gets old.

101/106. Not too shabby.

Stick a fork in em. They have no answers.

Is it asking too much for the Amerks to get some semblance of a clue in their own end?

Never thought I’d miss Stillman and Clague from any lineup of hockey teams I root for, but yeah, they are definitely missed. The Amerks D corps has been an adventure in their own zone for most of the season and the Crunch has owned them in this series.

After they were eliminated in the playoffs, the Lightning re-assigned two defensemen and a goaltender to Syracuse. Lilleberg and Crozier, the two Dmen have had an impact on the ice. So your point is well made.

Yeah, Skinner doesn’t strike me as a Lindy type of player.

They’ve been one goal games because of one player, Devon Levi. As you alluded to, their play in the D zone was horrendous last night, but it’s been the same way in all three games. Indeed, it’s been that way all season long. While I’m glad the Crunch aren’t seeing many grade A chances despite their dominance in the Amerks D zone, the bigger issue with that is the lack of puck control and offensive zone time as a result of being stuck in their D zone for long stretches. I just can’t agree that the Amerks outplayed the Crunch in any of the three games, despite the win in game 1.

They’re just giving him an opportunity, nothing more. He may not survive OTAs.

Are you saying the Amerks were better than the Crunch in games 1 and 2 or that the Amerks were simply better in games 1 and 2 than they were in game 3? Because from where I sit, the Crunch has been the dominant team in all three games.
