[BalticWarrior]

Zemgus still on the 1st line looks like hes not totally out of place there,good

 

[Woodhouse]

Per Rolston's pre-game interview, Flynn will return to the lineup tonight; no mention of how that shakes up the lines for tonight though.

 

[Woodhouse]

2-0 RCH. 4:59 left in 1st.

Leggio stopped a Grant breakaway; McNabb-Biega with the turnover.

Moments after Hodgson rang the post, Rankin buries a tap-in of a backdoor Hodgson pass. 0:28 later Adam got credit for the second (more of a Hoffman own-goal) as rebound of his initial shot was poked through Bishop's five-hole as the goalie stretched to cover it.

Foligno with a curl and drag, but Bishop stood his ground.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

And Bingo ties it at 2.

 

[joshjull]

That goal should have counted. Booooo

 

[Woodhouse]

Well, that one counts.

Porter makes it 3-2 RCH with a wrister from between the circles.

 

[joshjull]

Nice puck movement by Foligno/Hodgson/Flynn


Then Flynn to the box

 

[SackTastic]

Playing Mariah Carey in a hockey rink?

I don't care if it is Christmas, that's a major party foul/

All I want for Christmas is yooooouuuuu!!!!!

 

[SackTastic]

So wrong....so, so wrong.

 

[joshjull]

Hodsgon should have shot on that 2 on 1.

 

[joshjull]

McNabb not having a good period.

 

[SackTastic]

McNabb not having a good period.

Or anyone else for that matter.

 

[joshjull]

I love the 4th line everytime they're out there.

 

[French Connection]

McNabb not having a good period.

It can't be that bad 'cause if he is he would not be player due to RR's who doesn't perform will sit style.

The sad thing about this he will do zilch to help and let BM just flounder on his own.

 

[joshjull]

Despite the Amerks down right now. Its been great watching a game on TV for the first time this year. I have fios at home I haven't seen any until now. I'm at work and hoping it stays quiet.

 

[joshjull]

Or anyone else for that matter.

True. Defensively they've been bad as a team.

Same here. I have DirecTV at home, haven't been able to watch anything, including the classic stuff.

At my girlfriend's place helping her make cookies, and taking advantage of her TW.

Be safe tonight JJ, especially if it gets really crappy out.

Thx.

Is it just me but the Amerks don't seem to have much speed.

 

[joshjull]

The 4th line working hard and gets us a PP.

 

[joshjull]

Ugh

That was ugly. Lets see some energy to rally.

 

[joshjull]

Rally on!

 

[Woodhouse]

Attaboy Sundher! 5-5... crashes net and pots a rebound of a Legault shot.
