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.
