Negative! It didn't go in. It just impacted on the post. Edit: Hey... we should turn this into a sequel. More Death Stars! More posts.

Without precise calculations we could bounce too close to a goal post, but here's what I've got: Skinner (0) +3 goals (career 10% on 31 shots); Eichel (2) +3 goals (career 10% on 50 shots); Hall (1) +3 goals (career 10% on 43 shots) Of course, that just means they'd all gotten hat tricks in the same game and we'd have one more in the win column. But if we had 9 more goals overall in any capacity we'd have a +3 goal differential as a team. That almost guarantees a top-half standing in our division (Bos +15, NYI +1, PHI 0, everyone else is minus). Probably 3 wins or 2 wins and a loser point -- right up by NYI/PHI where we figured we *would* be in the standings before the season started.

I believe in many forms of The Concept Of, the light side and the dark side of the Moulson/Ehrhoff, but I'm unfamiliar with these hockey gods. Who are they? What are their functions, names, and relationships?

Thanks... uh.... GMDR, GMTM, GMJBott, GM Sheevyn. Anyone else?

Hutton lets it in... on net or not.

OK, HCRK, please don't staple Bryson to the bench in the 3rd because he's a rookie. Keep up the pressure! Remember the Alamo Death Star!

Thanks, Linus!

Not sure what's different about this game/period, but we're getting several odd-man rushes here in the 2nd. Someday we'll pass for the backdoor tap-in.

Nice to see Eichel take the shot on that 2 on 1. Get the confidence going, kid!

There's still a chance to hit pohhh-- (It's sounds like "posts") There's still a chance to hit Goalllofsson. Oh, Okposo, if you had any wheels left you wouldn't have had to chip that over the blue line.

If we want to be better 5 on 5... just wait seven more seconds. Shoot that biscuit just after the penalty expires.

Goooolofsson!

Hold your fire. There goes another one (ping). Verify range to target one... two.. five, five sir, pings only! (I'm caught in a quote loop!!!)

What the heck, posts???

PP get a goal. Then next shift, start a brawl! Give in to the Dark Side!

Get him Staal... that was flippin' dangerous!

Solid PK.

Bad luck is a point of view, Anakin Sabrespace.

Bryson doesn't have the reach to go for the puck there. Just stay up and push him and you'll probably be OK. But desperation leads to penalties. Great speed by Hughes.

Oi. Tough bounces.

Seriously... bigger nets and we outscore our opponents an extra goal per game. (we routinely hit 2-3 pipes vs. 1-2 for opposition)

Nice jump, Sheahen. Let's bury one, gents!

Chief Ruff: I've analyzed their attack, boys, and there is no danger. Should I have your ship standing by? Devils: Evacuate? In out moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances! Chief Ruff: No. That's not what I said. I said there is no danger. I meant your victory ship. For the celebration.

Interesting quote from Severenson on the NJ intermission interview. Says Coach Ruff simply told them "If we play our system better than they (Buffalo) plays their system, we'll win." So Ruff believes his system is superior. (I do, too.) Basic message is: Play our game, we'll beat this team. Where... HCRaKru's is saying "we're still learning how to play" and whatnot.

Bryson... Borgen... Joker... they all look good when they first arrive.
