another game, another uninspired first period. different day, same old story.
Roli was not to be faulted on either of the two goals.

Are you watching the game, Nick? I don't have PPV. Is Souray playing? Is Staios?

Probably better that the game's on PPV. 0-3 late in the game. Guess I didn't miss much, even after sleeping through most of the game.

i went to bp. almost fell asleep. what a crap effort on everyone's part. and that third goal really should have been stopped.
roli needs to be on waivers asap. no one's going to want him. unfortunately, with the moron behind the bench i'm sure he's going to think that putting JDD on waivers is better than getting rid of roli...

Souray in, Stevie out with a "family matter"
Just another no shot, no anything game, and our goalie wasn't there to save us in this one. You can't blame Roli for not scoring, and Shawna said it best to sit Roli until Garon loses. Chicago got a powerplay, shorty, and even strength goal. They kicked our ass man. If the stats even say we got 3 shots on net I call bullshit. SHOOT IT AT THE NET??? Is it the coach again or what the fuck is with not SHOOTING? So many plays I was like "SHOOT" and it was another pass off give-a-way. Just glad we aren't Calgary. They got a shitload more problems than we do.

I think ive been to every home opener since the lockout. And every time (except this year) they come out guns a blazing, everyone is revved up and we dominate the first 10 minutes or so, and win the game. This year, watching the opener, everyone seemed impartial. Like they just didnt give a shit. Since that first period, I thought something was wrong. It has not been rectified, and I wonder what it is.
Horcs is not playing like horcs. Normally he is aggressive, skating hard and defensively aware. So far this year he has played like he has better things to do.
Hemsky normally for the first few games, comes out flying and dangling all over the placed, this year he looks off. Extremely off.
I would like to know why? These are two guys that seem to have the adreniline pumping for the first few games out of the year. Are they sad to see the departure of their buddies stoll and torres and greene? Do they not like the new guys? are the tired of macT??? I have no idea, but the team looks like they just dont give a shit.

I agree on the no give a shit Nick. Horcs is dreaming about his guaranteed $7M next year. Hemksy had one nice dangle through the legs tonight, but it ultimately ended up in the same half-ass tap/pass give away. Nobody gave a shit except maybe Moreau and Stortini. Storts had a nice jersey over the head huggy bear fight. It was hilarious. The Chicago dude even wasted a punch to pull the jersey hole more towards his face. Stortini landed zero punches anyway btw. It was the exact same effort in these past few games we barely won and we got embarrassed by another young squad on their way to the up and up.

i cant even count how many posts the opposition has hit in the few games we have played, we could very easily be at 1-4 not 4-1. . .
lol @ storts... yeah its embarrassing when you have the guy jerseyd and still dont land a few god ones... I will agree that moreau has played will conviction, but that is what he does. almost garaunteed every game..

Man the Storts shit was seriously funny, like comedy reel shit. Like I said, jersey over the head, huggy bear lock on the dudes head, and the Chicago player literally pulled the neck/eye hole over to see.
Horcoff did have a nice lobber tip that hit the crossbar. These guys sucked though, plain and simple. No effort from anyone that stuck in my mind. A few games the kid lines presence created a lot of energy and chances, but even tonight while they were still the brightest, nothing happened. I hope Chicago is really that good cause they deserve it more than Pittsburgh.

just listened to a little of the team 1260. Ryan rishaug was on. I was impressed, he had some good points and I agreed with a lot of what he said. . .
- Ride the hot goalie. Garon wants the games, give them to him. Luongo, brodeur kipper all play back to back games why doesnt garon ? Agreed, if garon is good to go, why not play him?
- This cole on the top line is not working. He said try nilsson up there and move cole to the second line? well I dont really see nilsson up but I agree get cole off the top line.
- We have only played about 5.5 periods out of 15.. there is something not right...
- without garon in net we could easily be 1-4 or 0-5 .....
- Getting embarrassed as we did is usually better than losing a close game. Agreed, maybe they can look and see that we actually have problems...
there were more but i cant remember them atm.
edit
- macytnire played a limited ice time role when he was suited up, why cant the same be done for stortini? true enough. get the talented guys some more shifts.

I don't think Cole on the top line is what's not working, I think Hemsky on the top line isn't working. Sit Hemmer for a few games, see if that lights a spark under his ass. I've hardly noticed him at all throughout these five games.
