Seems like a good competition situation in crease in Milwaukee, bodes well for both of them.
Gortz again with 2 goals, Fiala with 2 assists.

I agree with your comment on that pairing. Nakyva has been the worst D-man on the team, until Diaby showed up. A terrible choice putting those two together.
I boo Suter, but I wasn't in my seat when that was shown. Maybe it is catching on!
Fiala assisted on the first two goals, the ones scored by Gortz. He looked good.
It is too bad that Gortz hit the post last night. He could scored a hatter.
Maz has improved or he would be sitting the bench.
Saros was been 13-1 since November. He looks like Ken Dryden out there.

Second was a great wrist shot and snipe. First was an absolute gift from Korpisalo. Not only could he not make a fairly routine glove save, he put the rebound right on to Gortz's stick. Full credit to Gortz on the shot though. I was in section 209 which isn't directly behind the net but by that goal just a bit off center and I didn't know it went in at first.
A couple of other notes. It would have been interesting if Gortz got a hat trick last night considering it was a winter hat giveaway.
I really wish they would've showed Saros' save at the end of the 2nd period last night. Saved a goal sliding right to left.
The linesmen were a disaster last night. The obvious one that sticks out in my mind is Lake Erie icing the puck with a little over two minutes left with no call. A few seconds later the Admirals iced the puck which was called. That gave Lake Erie almost a full two minutes of 6 attackers.
They also need two referees in every game. I don't care if they're underqualified. If they can skate and know the rules, that's good enough because two sets of eyes are better than one.
Full marks to the PK unit last night as well. Killed off every penalty except the fluke that went in off of Oligny. That includes a 4 minute kill where Lake Erie couldn't even get set up. It was brilliant all the way around. Text book penalty killing.
Great crowd last night too. Probably the best of the year sans the school day game.
Really need to start jotting thoughts down at games because I miss so many things.

it's good to hear how well saros is playing and fiala is coming along.
it's also so painfully obvious how much better Milwaukee broadcast pbp is than the preds. and no frankenstu droning on in the background

Hasn't he had tremendously awful bad luck with injuries? For some reason I'm thinking this is the second or third pretty severe injury for Diaby. Am I confusing him with someone else?

Damn, that nolook/ drop pass from Fiala to Gortz was filthy. Fiala looks like patty Kane out there. Do not want to trade . We don't have anyone that dynamic - including Forsberg
Btw Fiala Autocorrects to "Goals"

Guy next to me was getting so frustrated with Fiala last night. He kept telling him to pass instead of dangling but when you can dangle past defenders it causes others to step up which opens up lanes for others. Fiala did that last night and it set up some good opportunities.

Trevor Murphy is very similar to Ryan Ellis in my opinion.
Could see Diaby become a decent bottom pairing d-man similar to Jackman.

What really struck me most about that article was the fact that Kamenev made his KHL debut as 17-year-old. Wow, that doesn't happen a lot, there is some real talent there.
Slightly off topic question here: I noticed on the Admirals store website (Well, I think it's just the AHL website and the Ads section of the store) you can get a customized t-shirt jersey. Anyone know if you can get something like Fiala, Saros, etc or would that be some kind of licensing infringement? Or whatever.

I just clicked on that and typed Saros and 74 and it went through successfully, so I would imagine it would be okay. It probably wouldn't be okay if they were selling actual jersey t-shirts of players for like $40 and these for $25 and you tried to save $15 by putting the name and number of the player you want on the cheaper t-shirt.
Are you on twitter? I'd ask the Admirals and the AHL just to be sure.

Russia advances to the finals to face Finland. Kamenev awarded as the best player of the tournament for Russia (don't know why they awarded it already).

Indeed. I expect his name is going to start popping up in every trade proposal that doesn't involve Jones at this point.

No doubt- but to me, right now he is about as close to untouchable as anyone in the organization.
