I think it's a Brad May mask. Print it out, wrap it around your face and pretend to be tough!

P.S. I have no idea what the extra eyes and s*** are for.

I hope Howard doesn't burn out.

You do know Bertuzzi is our 3rd leading scorer right?

[zettie85 106]

Anything that works is good with me.

No way Howie can repeat performance like he did in LA ... you're setting him up for failure.

I'm not very optimistic about winning in San Jose ... however, if we take one point tomorrow night, I'd be pleasantly surprised.

I see May is playing. We are assured victory now!

I would have said that too - in October. Bert has impressed me by the same margin that Leino has disapointed me this season. On a team where almost nobody has played as good as they were epected to, Bert has been better than anyone would have guessed he'd be.

Probably the most appropriate time to put a face palm I've see in a long time on this site.

interesting on howard starting again, but ill go with it. i also think miller is the easy promotion to the 2nd line, him and clear both drive the net hard, the whole line plays great defense, and (hopefully) filpulla can put some hard shots or good passes on net to the junkyard dogs waiting in front of it.

If Miller doesn't do well early in the game, you'll see Helm worked in on the 2nd line.

I thought people were bitching on this forum that Ozzie only plays the hard teams. Now I see every one on here posting that he should start.

In another thread, one poster was claiming that Howard is not good enough to handle the top teams.

He has won against both Colorado and LA recently, both very good teams, playing well. San Jose is a tough game though, for not just him, but the entire team.

No one said Howard couldn't play the best teams. It was said that Howard's stats were skewed based on the face he DIDN'T play the best teams.

And when he didn't play many hard teams that was the case.
