puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 it's always so dark in the Oil's arena... or my eyesight is fading, not sure which. they look a little scrambly tonight, little miscues and a turnover just there. Lilja looks good, again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 It says on the first page he's with Kopecky and Drake. has been, so far. It's no one's imagination that the DHZ line looks better than any other. Roloson looks scared just then when Dats teed up on him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 Good speedy game so far. Looks like were just rolling all 4 lines at this point. The refs are really letting them play. Good to see, unless they let hooks go that prohibit players from clearing the zone like almost happened with Hudler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 Franzen's too good for the 4th line but I guess there's no other alternatives right now. Sounds as though it's been a relatively slow start to this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And That line of Franzenstein, Count Drakeula, and Koper is know known as the Transelvanian Trio even though Koper needs a supernatural nickname to match the bill... Too bad Cleary aka Teen Wolf (from the playoffs) isn't on that line. Well before I was sidetracked, that line has been impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds as though it's been a relatively slow start to this game. I think the radio commentators mentioned that Babs said Franz isn't 100% just yet, so they're probably putting him on the lower lines to ease him back into the game.

terri27 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 (edited) Lily's all mellow with the refs there-but he's still in the Oilers face! Lily: "Yeah I know you're a dink and your mama plays hockey better that you." I'm really starting to love him. Edited October 31, 2007 by terri27 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 (edited) That didn't look like a penalty to me after seeing it only once so far. That stuff happens sometimes when you try to cut inside. And Staios or whoever that was should get an instigator penalty.\ Edit: after the replay I maintain that is a HORRENDOUS call.

I think that it is more that the 2nd line has been great and Babcockles doesn't want to throw any chemistry off because we have dominated the competition Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 What a hit by the Pain train!! He didn't put his knee or leg out. It was a pretty clean hit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
russianswede919293 95 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 Yeah they did exactly what you want from a 4th line. Cycled the puck, threw the body, wore down the defense. Definatly they have caused some key turnovers... also Lily pads did NOT stick the leg out it was a nice hip check, it should not be a PP... OH WELL...SHORTY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GSBrooks13 204 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 It was obvious Lilja didn't want to fight. Even if he didnt I am sure that he wouldn't have backed down if the refs didnt step in.. and he did drop his gloves.. well atleast one of them.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

russianswede919293 95 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 I've got an intramural hockey game at 11:15 tonight...I am totally going to miss the 3rd period. Hope the WIngs can have a safe lead by then. We seem to be playing a pretty good game out there. Nothing spectacular yet, but we'll wear them down and wam bam its the datsyuk gang, and the score is 2-0 and Z has 2 more points...
