I promised to put up all of our goals from every game for the rest of the season but after last nights game, there are unfortunately no additions.
Before I talk about the game last night I have to ask a simple question, WHERE THE HELL ARE THE HOCKEY FANS AT?  Our team is surprisingly good, and the best team in the league came into our building last night, and the arena was less than half full.  The fan turnouts for most of the year for that matter have been awful at best.  Don’t get mad when the owners are forced [...]

Mike Smith was not awful, letting in 4 shots out of 39, but he continues to be the 2nd best goalie we have on the team.  I have been waiting all year for him to regain his spot atop the depth chart at G, but just like the Lightning, he can’t put anything consistent together between the pipes.  The [...]
