Question of the Day

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

So what was the ice quality at MSG last night?

What did the players think about it?

Did it affect the play?

Why no articles on it? What gives?

See the Comcast SportsNet website or tune in info here. Watch me get grilled on my life. Let me know what you think afterwards.

Odd Game - Take the Point and Be Happy

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

It was a strange game and a strange third period and shootout during a long season. We will play in games such as this one and be happy with a standings point.

We sure were in the penalty box a lot during the third period, weren’t we? There were some phantom calls out there but I believe, over the season, they all even out.

I was unaware of rule 25.2 regarding shootout goals as was our goaltender, coach and most fans. Live and learn.

The Rangers played desperate hockey last night trying to avoid a season sweep by us. There was a real intensity to the game and it was a fun one to watch as a fan.

Mike Green is now historic. He is in the record books. It is so odd that he didn’t qualify for the All-Star game for whatever logic at that time was out there. But he is now a candidate for the Norris Trophy and leads all D men in points and goals by a wide margin.

Perhaps the wisdom of crowds is overrated?

ON to Florida for the father/son weekend and back to back games. Three road games in a row.

It is time to heal up as well and hope to get some of our key players who were MIA last night back in the lineup.
