REX!! Saved

Radulov - Missed the net!!!!!!!!!!!!

DATSYUK SCORES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE! We need to win in OT.. our record in shootouts doesn't give me alot of confidence.

Actually, it's 8===D

Crap. I didn't want Nashville to get a point. Even if we win, we're still behind them.

Step 1, Clear the Zone Step 2, Transition Game Step 3, Profit!

Ozzie is just not a finisher for some reason. He always seems to stand on his head when we have a big lead, but when it's vital he makes the save, he'll let in a softie. I dunno what it is.

NOOOOOOOO!! Another softie by Ozzie, from what I hear.

Go CALDER..almost! Wonder what the Preds GDT is looking like right now.

SCORREEEE AGAIN!!! 3-2 Wings!

Isn't Marty Lapointe now or was captain of the Hawks? I thought I remembered reading that. He also had a stint on the B's too.

There are actually a few of us in Austin on here. I know BigTex and Lint123, as well as myself. I don't have CenterIce...wish i did though.

That diary is really fascinating. Would be awesome to see what all the other GMs were thinking. Too bad that'll never happen. I can't imagine how many enemy GMs would be made if everything came out.

And was laughing the whole time during both fights.

What if we get both?

I can't imagine that Stevie would be pushing Forsberg as far as trades. Forsberg would be a good fit, but he addresses none of the needs of this team. We need a hitting (Forsberg's not) gritty (Forsberg's not) winger (Forsberg's not).

You may want to check with the Michigan Highway Dept, but I don't think they need anymore traffic cones in Detroit.

I was at the game also, and Liv did look really good. As I said in my other post, I think he needs to work just a bit at controlling those rebounds. Fat rebounds just sitting there in a sea of skates led to quite a few tense moments. Any idea why Jimmy was wearing a Wings cap instead of a Griffs cap?

Was at the game on Saturday night in Houston, and I have to say it was awesome. Liv did look VERY good for most of the night. He needs to work a bit on his rebound control, as he was forced to make several tough second chances. Overall, the Griffs looked really good. I think the biggest surprise though was Hussey and Kolanos. It was insane when they'd be skating up the ice, chip the puck behind the defender, and then TURN ON THE JETS to get around them. The speed on Hussey especially was amazing. I'd have to say though, the low-lite of the game was how one-sided the officiating was. The only powerplays GR got were when the Aeros player was so blatant that they couldn't ignore it. The Aeros, on the other hand, drew multiple penalties by diving, and got away with alot of other stuff. At one point, one of the Griffs was pulled down breaking to the net, and slid in head first. The goalie basically put the guys head between his pads, and sat on him so he couldn't get out. Then when he finally got out, the goalie slashed him a few times for good measure. Also, in the 2nd, the Aeros goalie came out to play the puck behind the net. A Griffs player was pursuing behind the net, and the goalie threw a bodycheck into the Griff as he attempted to avoid the goalie. Again, no call. One other thing, and maybe you guys can help clear this up. Booter was in the attacking zone, and had just passed the puck, when Stokes from the Aeros skated up, and elbowed him in the face. Booter then fell down, and the whistle blew. They got up, and Booter went to the box for Roughing and Unsportsmanlike, and Stokes went for holding. The officials got someone off the Griffs bench to sit with Booter. He left after 2 minutes, and then Bootland was by himself. The other 2 minutes expired, and still he didn't come out. He was in there for 5 minutes for some reason, and none of the scoresheets or anything mention why. Any ideas what happened there? All in all though, I had a blast at the game, and was glad we won. It was weird being in enemy territory, I must say. EDIT: Formatting

I'm agreeing with you. This is not the type of d-man we need, but based on Holland's track record, this is likely who we're gonna get. I don't think the poster you quoted knew about the concussion problems. Otherwise, I doubt there'd be a hooray in there.

Assets Has tremendous poise on the ice. Makes crisp passes and loves to find streaking forwards. Is valuable in any game situation. Flaws Has a history with concussions that is a long-term concern. Needs to be more physical in front of the net. Career potential Top four defenseman. Sounds like a Holland type of guy. I bet it's him.
