That’s also known as “special”.

The guy in the Skywalker sweater – you have to know him to understand. Even then maybe not. Wears a storm trooper helmet.

BTW, I caught the highlights on nhl.com (thank you, five_hole!). I was very impressed with Kane’s goal. I think he needs to stay here. I hope he stays strong and healthy. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed…

Smoothie – do you think it would mess things up chemistry-wise if the 2nd and 3rd lines were swapped. Do you think the current 3rd line could handle it at 2nd? Would we have a mutiny if the current 2nd line was moved down to 3rd? Thoughts, anyone?

Ha, Thrashers are 3 – 1 for the first time in a long time, if not ever, and no one is around to talk about it. Check you guys Sat morning for some puck talk!

Good contributions from just about every line. 2nd line seemed to have really good jump in the 2nd but they are still getting dominated by the other team’s top line. Their shot differential at ES was -5 again and they can’t seem to sustain any pressure. That’s fine when you’re talking about the top line as they are so good in transition, but we can’t keep winning with two lines giving up so many shots. The top two lines ES shot diff was around -11 or -12. UNGOOD!! Overall though the defensive positioning and presence near our own net are the two biggest differences between this year and last. Still need to tighten things up in our transition game: still too many sloppy changes and failures to match up after line changes.

I guess Friday night is not a good night to talk hockey on a blog! LOL

Check it out. http://www.nhl.com/ice/boxscore.htm?id=2009020087. That’s tonight’s boxscore. Coupla things stand out. Only 30 shots against, this time around. Twenty-eight saves for Pavelec. Special teams was the difference, of course. Two PPG’s by the Pevs Dispenser and a “shorty” by Thorburn. Loved the reaction to goal by Reasoner, Thorburn, and Kovy’s big smile, from the bench. Priceless.

Okay, some other things stand out. What about the D? Kubina gets his 4th helper of the season, as did Enstrom. Popovic was a +1, and played 14:50. Salmela played 13:02. Bogo was a -1, but played 18:48. Kubina played 22:31, and Enstrom logged 23:33. Hainsey had a decent game, too.

What about our Russians? Max and Antro were a -1. Kovy was a -2. Kozlov was even, with 15:58 in ice time.

Kane had the game-tying goal tonight, with a sniper shot to the upper corner of the net, against Brodeur. Pevs’ tallies were his 3rd and 4th on the season, just trailing Kovalchuk by one now. Reasoner picked up another assist. Thorburn had critical insurance goal. The GWG went to Peverley, of course, on the PP. Kane played 13:40. Pevs played 15:56.

And finally, Boulton added to his penalty minutes with a fight. How did New Jersey get Andrew Peters from Buffalo? Was he a free agent signing? Anywho, Boulton only played 5:03 this time around. I continue to like our 4th line this season. Especially Thorburn and Boulton.

Hope I didn’t just get Ranalloed.
