Speed Kills
3 Nick – According to the stat guru, Nick was on the bench for the first four goals scored by Guese therefore alleviating himself of all responsibility for the loss that the Gamewinners suffered last night.
2 Borges – A points machine these past few weeks. JB is finishing on more chances than not these days. More than can be said of Brett and Jared
1 Darrin – Fifth goal was a bit on the weaker side, but he made a ton of saves in the first to keep it to only two goals and then his saves in the third were spectacular to give the Gamewinners a chance at pulling out the win. I don’t think there’s another goalie in the league that’s forced to stop more breakaways than Darrin. Then again I don’t watch any of the other games so I can’t really say that with any certainty.
Honorable Mention: Billy T
Billy was sick and stilled showed up and did his best. By the looks of it he was sick with vertigo.

I'm kind of sick of us thinking that we don't need to sure up the defense every week.
When you have Ron, Jared and Borges all firing away and capable of leading the league in scoring, supported by Mike W, Johnny and the occasional Griff, you don't need me to play offense too.
Billy and Mike are two of the least talented players on the team. Not trying to be mean here, you guys can definitely play a good role for this team, but it is what it is. WHAT ARE WE DOING LEAVING THEM ON DEFENSE TOGETHER?!?!?!?! Since when has defense become the least important position?
Mike D should go to wing and I should drop back. For every game no matter how many show. I'm not saying that I'm the answer to all our problems back there on defense. I'm sure I'll be beaten and dangled around a couple times through the season and make mistakes. But we need change the philosophy! Even if Joe does eventually come back, this change should still be made.
i wasn't gonna win the points race anyway
Hey, I made WPR!! WooHoo!!
I do agree with Brett, he should play D,especially in the games Nick is not playing.
I dont remember that team being that fast. We've played them before and beaten them. In fact, they might be the fastest team we ever played there.
Did anybody else notice Nicks bright red face last night? He was working hard! Or he's out of shape. One or the other. Nick, those classes are killing ya!
Ya even scofield after the game said Brett should be back on defense. Are you sure you want to play back against the north stars tho?
it can be both billy.
I brought this up last night because it was very obvious again.
I think Billy and Mike are fine when separated. But they dont seem to gel together very well. they dont compliment each other at all. in fact i think they magnify each others weaknesses.
the defensive lines broke down this way:
Ron and Nick were a plus 3
Billy and Nick were a -1 (4 on 4)
Nick and Mike were a 0
Mike and Billy were a -3
Look, every defenseman has bad nights (this is where we generlize and add smiley faces), Ive had my -3 nights (and worse) and will again (probably next week) but im a huge believer in creating optimal defensive lines. Its just like a set of wingers and a center. you cant just throw any players together and expect the same results.
i liked the dlines we did a couple weeks ago of me and billy/ brett and mike.
though i still want jb back on d with me so yeah..
i was going to write a recap (seriously i was, just got a new laptop and im ready to type) but i feel like brett stole my thunder...plus a seinfeld episode i have never seen before is about to start.
Btw, Jb why werent you one the boards last night? Im still confused on that play...where was everyone???
Jared "pokey" woulda had it.
We've been saying since last season Brett should be on D.
Mike
I could play up vs the north stars and try to build an insurmountable points lead on Borges and then drop back to d
exactly mike. how long did i ask for jb to drop back?
even more so, if we ever did that maryland tourney we have no chance unless we have two very solid d pairs....and a different roster.
Last night was so...ah typical. New name...same results.Unfocused. Unprepared. Uninterested. They out muscled us...they out hustled us. Crap hockey from just about everyone.
I want iPads to be one of the choices for the poll. And I have tried to post a couple times from my new iPhone and nothing happens when I press publish.
I cant wait to kill the north stars 10-2 and feel like we've turned the corner as a team next week!
The new name isn't official till we dawn the new Jersey. Will frendon show up to drop the ceremonial first faceoff for the gamewinners next week?
jared when you post from your phone there is a tab under the comment box that says "comment as".. are you filling that in? i know that was why some people couldnt make it work.
Ipads...this.. a thousand times this. writing the last two recaps of montreal on that was painful.
I finally started that videos page per request....link on the sidebar

I do
link?
