A couple of scrums, and an unlikely scorer does the Isles in last night.
Of all folks, Brashear beats us with a slide of the stick, and once again, the team looks bad after a significant number of days off? We know that this team works hard at practices, I wonder why the team is so sluggish that first game back?
It is a mystery? Please Kreskin, give us the answer…
Nice return by Silly. Winning 11 of 19 faceoffs. A big plus.
Three Isles Stars.
3. MacDonald – 42 saves. Yes he gave up 4 but only 1 was what I call ‘saveable’
2. Hunter – 11th goal – had only 12 last year. What a nice job he is doing.
1. Silly – nice to see him return.
I just dont get Fritz being here taking 100 seconds a night? It does not serve a purpose… Jackman – he has a role and had a solid game last night.
And please, let’s end the Tambellini saga now! This is getting ridiculous. We are not going to have another David Volek moment (for those that do not know (and there may be a few) – Volek was one despised by many fans until he scored that magic goal in 1993 – eliminating the Pens). Tambellini is not cutting it, and guys like Trevor Smith, Blake Comeau and others should be up here contributing.
Well – got that off my chest. See you at the barn tomorrow.

Unfortunately, I have been feeling under the weather the last few days, so I missed this game entirely. I guess it was a good thing in this case …
