How can Ray say they had a good period with a straight face? They didn't register a shot on goal for 17 god dang minutes! Was it good in that he didn't fall asleep?
I somewhat agree but a 4th line of Griffith - Crisco - Nolan seems...well...bad.
Girgs on that line adds a bit of defensive responsibility and complements the muscle along with Nolan.
Then again, maybe a powerhouse AHL line would translate well to the NHL?
Is there an update on Risto or is he "day-to-day" and is that actual day to day or the Houlsey day to day?
Wasn't Bogo skating last week? Has he been practicing or should we assume he'll only play 15 games this year.
Is this the game where our defense finally finds nets a goal?
I would swap Girgs with Mouslon and then tell the 4th line to show-up an hour late for the charter and call it an "logistical error" and then I'd be saying the same thing.
He said it with his eyes.
I know it's confirmation bias but I feel that every time I read about a slumping player in the BN pre-game articles that player usually has an amazing game.
My guess would be the Carolina game where we only put up 3 points. I know it was a defensive battle as we held them to 9 points but I'd qualify any game that a team can only put up 3 points as an embarrassment (for the offense at least, the D did their job in that one).
Man, almost thought we had a goal from a D-man. I'll take it though. Good to see some life on the PP. That was also set up by a nice spin-o-rama by Baloo, nice to have him back.
