We have our codes of conduct... :) Misconducts can rate 5 or 10 or for the match. ;) The thread makes for better reading when we're playing well.

I have said this a few times-I love that third line. They do a lot of things that do not show up on the scoresheet. They cycle, they keep the puck in the offensive zoen, they buy time to change defensive pairs. I think they can be a difficult group to play against. We certainly will need one line to be able to keep those SLU big guns off their game. A very good test to tell us where we are now winding up for the playoffs. Go Red!!

I keep hearing about those big guns that SLU has. SA made them sound like they were unstoppable and yet, SLU is a .500 team. Somebody is stopping SLU, or SLU is having trouble stopping the opposition.
Sounds like a match up game. You are right about the third line, but I would be happier if SA would switch Lee with Neal. Then he could put that line against the Saints top line and give the top line a little more scoring punch.
Either way, if we play the way we have been, I see another game in the win column for us.
Kasdorf will be the difference.

SLU does seem to be top heavy on the forward lines-but stopping that line is easier said than done. They are among the leaders in the nation. i see this game as you do-it is all about match ups and SLU gets the last change which can be important. We have to neutralize the big line without letting anyone else be the one who beats us. As usual-special teams are key for us. We cannot let this game get into a penalty fest-it is just not our forte. As SA said in an interview though-we have to just concentrate on getting the job done today-we can start to think about the next game in a few hours. We have 4 games left with the North Country teams-we have not seen them yet this year and we just have no clue yet how we stack up against them head to head.

Not sure about anywhere else but we are right now at the snow/rain border of this monster storm. Nothing on the ground yet but winds are 25-35mph. I just hope not to lose power. We are expecting 4-6 inches late tonight but very high wind gusts.
