And here is the tilt after Imama bumped the Marlies goalie after the end of the period as he was skating towards the bench.

If the league doesn’t crack down on this type of crap (jabbing goalies after the whistle), the lack of respect between teams will only increase and these moments in the handshake line will become more frequent.

This is also a trend now. They look great in the ozone, and awful in the dzone. Time to break up this line.


Jobst is out and playing center on GA1. It's a deflection off a lost draw.



Goncalves deflection, not really seeing anything amiss. Richards is the other forward here, has the center responsibilities down low.



So the Day goal is Ostlund losing his positioning a bit and it's his man who gets down to the net to score.



I'll go back and dig up the video from Friday. I don't see anything particularly egregious in those three other than having a three-game guy lose a man on one of them.

Okay from Friday:

Everyone is up in the play. I'll have to go back to the VOD to see what happens before it to create the 2-on-1.



First GA on Friday is a 2-on-2 between the defensemen, Duke gets his stick free at the net:



I'm not seeing a bunch of terrible defense here outside of Ostlund on one play. *shrug*

I would be more concerned that two of the vet, AHL-level centers got school with clean picks on faceoffs in the defensive zone first and foremost. Maybe get Kulich to block the shot better on two of them - I don't see him flamingoing or anything prissy where he's afraid of the puck or something. On one, the only person knocking a man down is Rosen (the 2nd one yesterday, he eliminates his man on the backside of the play, may even broke his stick doing it).

Jax can close out their cross-state rival with a win tonight, leading their series 3-1. If I was up to it health-wise, I would go up to watch but I'm barely out of bed without meds again today. :biglaugh:

Jax now down 2-0 with about six minutes left in the second period.

Edit: make that 3-0 at the end of two.

Florida gets out of town with a 4-1 win, stays alive with the series now 3-2 in favor of the Icemen. Glad I didn't go - dragging my sick self up there for a loss would've sucked.

Need this win, need to meet their intensity. We are the more skilled game. Thus far, they've worked harder.

Need to learn how to get some non-skilled dirty goals from the sound of it. Hopefully Appert can get the message through that Granato never could. Similar issues with both of their teams.

Im surprised Ostlund isn't out for Warren. Nothing against Ostlund, best offensive player in the first game, but the lineup is lacking pushback.

I do wonder if this is dabbling from on high. Or is it that they give some of the bangers a game off and then if tonight goes sideways, insert Warren and perhaps Slaggert for Game 4?
