The third period penalty... I can't remember. The overtime penalty... someone's doing herbies on Monday.

Something positive we can take from this weekend: Our defensemen can certainly rip the one-timers. If we can get the offense going next week or the week after, look out, we'll be tough to beat.

Cable problems here with Comcast and lost the feed at the second intermission-missed a good third period by our boys. Love the grit they showed. Still fee our defense is already pretty solid and will nly get better with the younger guys gaining experience. Offense took all night to wake up but at least showed signs of life. Cannot complain if we can hold a team like CC to 2 goals each night on the road. If we can keep that kind of defensive posture going, this team will do better than OK

Spend my money and flew to Colorado (felt like going to Japan for a weekend).
Game 1 -- atrocious officiating that hampered any flow in the game. The Colorado Penalty Box Guy's post about that game is absurd. We were clearly robbed by the referees on the none goal.
Game 2 -- atrocious coaching. The team was lethargic, unprepared and unmotivated. Initially the only forward line that showed energy, created offense, and yes, believe it or not, actually checked somebody, was the Burgdoerfer/Rabbani line (Rabbani with a couple of monster hits -- Burgdoerfer with relentless forechecking). The energy of that line ultimately resulted in a power play (Rabbani coming down the middle and getting chopped down) that energized the rest of the team and led to the tie.
Dr. D., the defense did not play well -- Yorkie played exceptional and bailed out the defense. We have defense men that can't shoot from the blue line (I know, not all of them but some), that are sloppy in the break out and their passing. The defensive play that stood out the most for me was a defense men cross checking a forward behind our net -- an absolute undisciplined and stupid penalty since one can not score from behind the net -- but that player was rewarded with being on the ice again and again.
The power play is virtually non-existent and good things happen by accident -- Pollachek seeing the ice well and delivering an impossible to miss pass to Helfrich for the tip in from a foot or two away from the goal -- but not by design.
The coaches' lack of feeling for the flow of the game is incomprehensible at this level. Why didn't he play the guys that brought energy over the guys that were lethargic? Are their any repercussions for the lack of discipline penalties by the supposed leaders of this team or are they untouchable? Ultimately a team is the reflection of the coaches personality -- in this case I would describe it as unbalanced, unorganized, undisciplined and unfocused.
Obviously, I think that the Athletic Director send the wrong message by extending Appert's contract and rewarding him for underachieving big time last year. But than, Appert does the same thing -- rewarding players with ice time for not producing and committing unnecessary penalties.
Sadly, unless coaching improves dramatically, I think we will be in it for another long painful season.
Cheers everybody.
