First game against the Ducks filled with youngsters, the second against the old timers from the Kings. Let's keep skating!

[bbgarnett]

come on Talbot can't be letting those leak through

[bbgarnett]

Ugh Merrill with a stupid penalty 

[Jimtown guy]

No I’m not a Gopher or SCSU fan so I’m neutral on this. But how is this not a penalty? Gopher fans yelling dive. I don’t see that. Gophers scored in overtime 5 seconds later

Quick is giving huge rebounds. A shame about the PK.

[bbgarnett]

good kill just wish Ek could have held just a little bit longer and hit Merrill leaving the box. Would have been fun seeing him on a breakaway.

They had to be tired so better to be safe.

[lynxrattle]

A good kill and a fast start to the game.

[bbgarnett]

PPP time 

[lynxrattle]

Not too clever, that Arvidsson.

[lynxrattle]

Damnit. I could smell a goal coming.

[lynxrattle]

Kings on a roll now.

[Jimtown guy]

Talbot!!!!!!!

[bbgarnett]

WTF was that Gaudreau

What an odd decision by Gaudreau, but Talbot saves.

Lol...I read that as "I could smell THAT goal coming" and watched the last 5 minutes of the period wondering how delayed my feed was. 

[EmptyShelf]

We have an offensively challenged line-up.  Too many role players.  Thus, we need to play more sound in the D end and give up less rebounds.

What did it smell like?  Was it a fragrant bundle or a steaming pile?

I have a few other adjectives that are more apt:

1) Idiotic

2) Ignorant

3) Imbecilic

4) Report to the Minors

Don't ask me, I didn't post that originally.

I see our board enthusiastic attendance has swelled to five.....Good start to the season.  I hoped there would be more enthusiasm with the Twin Boat Anchors departure, thereby exorcising the last of the Country Club
