Had a little bit of nerves after the second period….. Was not sure if we were going to get one…
However, one was all we needed.
Great move by Bergenheim, getting the puck to Satan. I like the fact that Satan has found his touch – at the right time. He showed great patience in waiting for the right time to get the shot off.
Ricky was brilliant, but had some great luck as well…. Ask Vinny L on that.
Once again – the defense are the usung heroes of this game. Meyer and Martinek are looking like they have played together for about a decade. Drew Fata has done just fine, being smart with the puck, and making some great hits. Even Berard and Bergeron were not bad on the back line.
Brendan Witt? Chris Campoli? Bruno Gervais??? No – I am not being silly – we will take them back in a heart beat. But the other guys are doing a tremendous job.
Driving home – we had the 8th spot. However, the Bruins got two goals late to tie the game, then win in the shootout. So – we are back to 9th, one point behind the B’s. But we have momentum, and go into New Jersey (the conferece co-leaders). The Devs are on fire of late, no pun intended.
But remember…. We are 5-0 versus NJ – and DP has only allowed one goal in two games at the Rock. And the crowd should have a great number of shirts with White, Orange and Blue. There will be over 110 Boosters attending (including myself). I am looking forward to yelling my heart out and see the 7th straight win.
Isn’t it interesting that we got on this streak before the deadline… It will make it a tough time for Garth Snow, as he surveys what he can and can not do as the trading deadline looms Tuesday afternoon. What do you do, what do you do….
Things we can talk about for the next few days.
BTW – I will be on Hockey Night on Long Island on Saturday afternoon. Check out Blogtalkradio.com/hockeynightonli

I’d love to see them keep this going, but I get the feeling guys like Fedotenko, Vasicek and Satan are going to get dealt for something. Maybe help on defense and another top six forward. They Tambs can come back up and maybe even…Okposo. Yeah I said it!
Patrick, my unsure brotha!!!!
Check Greg Logan’s blog…. I believe that Garth is building – not selling… We have so much cap room… Let’s not be such a naysayer….
It doesn’t matter how it’s done, as long as the end result is two points. I have to say that Freddy Meyer is really stepping up and doing all the little things that are going to make him a mainstay here. It’s one of those things where it doesn’t necessarily show up on the score sheet, but real fans of the game Notice it and Appreciate it. Keep it up, Freddy.
I don’t know what Garth can really bring in. From reading all the rumor sites and such, there aren’t any real big name players on the table or any impact players who’d be worth trading for. The conferences are so tight that most teams are not willing to unload anyone.
