  1. We would have won in regulation if we had scored in one of our powerplays We would have won in regulation if Bo had won 2 faceoffs that were crucial
  2. It's an interesting discussion, though. Which is the better team over an 82 game season? ......... Team A: 42 reg wins and 40 reg losses, for 84 points Team B: 30 reg wins, 27 reg losses and 25 OT losses, for 85 points
  3. My guess is that Benn is playing the requisite nunber of games to be our qualified veteran D for expansion draft purposes. JB will sign him to a one year deal, with a hefty inducement signing bonus and a low salary, as bait for the Kraken, and if passed over, will either be a cheap 7/8th D or else an attractive waiver pickup for another team
  4. He fully intends to, is my understanding. But he needs to sign before he starts the visa paperwork, both here, residence and work, and US - the visiting athlete's visa. And he needs the Visa before he can get over, late summer, to acclimate and find somewhere to live. If he intends to buy, then surely he is looking for term. My guess (uneducated) is he's looking at 5 years. He's a loyal guy, and I can't see him being interested in 1 or 2 years to tide him to UFA status, then bolt
  5. The "er's" are out in force, though..... Miller Boeser Hoglander Edler
  6. Travis S. Green ..... the "S" stands for stubborn (couldn't come up with anything meaningful using his "V")
  7. I said it elsewhere a few months ago ..... the IIHF have it absolutely right in their round-robin games, in my opinion. 3 points league-wide for every game. Regulation winner gets 3 points, loser gets zero. Game tied after regulation, each team gets 1 point, and O/T or shootout winner gets that extra point
  8. Yeah - Hoagie needs to get on a roll to keep our Calder Trophy finalist streak alive, 'cos Podz is a lock for next season !!!
  9. With the knock on Vesey being that he doesn't hit, sounds more like a smaller Sandlak. I used to sit in front of one fan who repeatedly yelled " Hit him with your purse, Jimmy"
  10. Vey is mentoring Podz right now. Has been his center for quite a few shifts at St Petes, although Linden plays mostly 2nd line C minutes. So only linemates when coach gives Podz a promotion
  11. Kudos to Baumgartner for dissuading Green from playing a hunch and inserting Chatfield as the 4th shooter instead of Gaudette!!
  12. Also, Demmer have up a lot more rebounds in the 2nd than he did in the 1st
  13. This is one of the most balanced commentating teams we've had for some time
  14. Can't wait for this period to be over - we suck in the second, with the long change
