Had my last game of the season last night/this morning (finished up around 12:00 AM). I scored another goal, I won a lot of good faceoffs, but the one thing that really pissed me off was the game went to a shootout, I had the goalie dead to rights with a deke and to his credit he stretched out and got a strong paddle on my backhanded shot.....hell of a save really and on such a beautiful move.


The team I played against last night will be the team I am playing on in January so I think that bodes well. They have a great goalie, good solid defense, and hopefully I can keep making progress in my game....I shook a few fellas out there with some nifty dekes and dangles.

What a beast Voracek is, I've been watching the Flyers and him and Giroux are just money together, it's pretty much a 2 man team now with Wayne Simmonds showing up periodically.

What is the spengler cup? I see they are playing hc davos stadium and it has jokerit from the khl playing canada just now :S Who are these canadian fellows on the team ? Doesn't look good for the khl when these canucks are beating them.


Also I hear ovechkin is off to the khl at the end of the year, good move for everyone i think, big long contract and not really being a huge superstar to justify it.. Ovechkin doesnt seem so happy in the nhl anymore and the crapitals could use the cap space.

The Ruskies don't make players like they used to. Ovechkin is a decent player as was Kovalchuk but they aren't the players Russia USED to produce Federov, Bure, Molgilny, Larionov, Makarov, etc. Those dudes were bad as hell. Pavel Bure was one of my favorite players when I was growing up.

Great bench-clearing brawl from the '87 world juniors, Canada vs Russia

My winter hockey season starts up this Tuesday night, I will be playing for a new team (one with a few more ringers ) and hopefully we will be ready to compete for the cup.

I've got my sights set on a hatty for the first match...I will of course get disappointed if I don't score, but I really just hit my stride at the end of last season.

#98 in your program but #1 in your hearts!
