LaPoint's injury was pretty horrific. At least to witness.

Miami's forwards could motor. Speed in hockey is a funny thing. So much depends on rhythm and anticipation. A good passing team will look fast. But this year's team has real nice speed up and down the lineup, and they can play the greasy game too. Not a lot of elite level ability but a real nice mix of character and skill. Another thing I like is the fact that they are not soft but most of the boys seem to have learned to keep their composure pretty well when someone is trying to egg them into the box. One-and-done playoffs are impossible to predict, but I like this team's chances.

I felt that way too about the outcome. The difference in team speed was obvious.

I thought the Lakers played better Saturday night and had much greater influence on the flow of the game then. The Sioux were focused on the D game, obviously, but the Lakers were winning more puck battles and not allowing as many prime scoring opportunities.

Of all Hak's faults, perceived and real, sugarcoating has not been one of them.

It was a little reminiscent of Derrick LaPoint.

There's no better time to have a non season ending injury though.

I think their primary objective tonight was play tight D. They have done that, though I don't know how the Lakers missed that one wide open net.

I thought they played quite a bit better in the first last night. The score, though . . .

I can't say I couldn't care less whether you could care less about any of this.

Truthfully, Mafia, I like TCoS better. It can be pronounced as a word. So I'll go with that. I guess we can always ask Hammer.

I could care less.

Yup. You gotta get him back in there. And it's not just for Cam. The defense needs to know they have to stay on their assignments, something they have been forgetful about from time to time, and Zane has bailed them out more times than not.

One thing that seems to have improved a lot this year is our ability to maintain possession along the boards and come out with the puck. Parks is a beast, but others have been doing this very well too. The cycling is better as a result. Wondering if it's just my imagination or others have seen this.

TCS. Book it.

Mafia Man could care less about this usage.

Not a traditional circle of sticks, though.

Hak's boys score 7 while Blais' boys get 7 against them. Who you gonna fire?

Those are small voices, though, with how well the FB and BB teams are doing. Unfortunately.

That's true. Once they smelled it they really went for it.

He sure made some good saves in the second. The boys missed a lot of nets in the first.

That's a little blind. They played very well on offense in the first but just couldn't bury them. The flood was coming.

Boys are playing well on offense. Could have 5 easily. Thank god we have Hak in box and not Blais--his team's getting handled 7-1 tonght.

4-1 Sioux. TCS weekend.

She looks like a nice girl from Pembina.
