Ha, that's what makes these games so good. Ol Time Hockey! Woog, always has to be quick to point out who started what. Thanks there Wooger, like the tattle-tale in 2nd grade.

One thought that I had while watching tonight was that this team plays like they think they have a ton of talent and that will get them by. Drop passes (to no one), toe drags (in traffic)...they look as if they think they can just turn it on at any time. Unfortunately tonight they couldn't accomplish simple things like effectively moving the puck into Denver's zone or even figure out how to space themselves on the few rushes they did get. What's the point of having two guys charge out of the zone along the boards with the trailer having the puck..and never passing? The guy in front has to slam on the brakes to prevent offsides and the trailer just plows into him with the puck. It happened multiple times tonight in Denver. That's just poor play.

I was at the game, just got back and your call on Finley is spot on. This is the first game I've seen in person this year so can anyone else tell me if that's how he plays ALL the time? Because that was pathetic. Not that the rest of the team was looking sharp, but Finley and LaPoint (albeit just a Fr.) couldn't do anything out there. You expect some shakey play from a Freshman, but it's inexcusable from an Upperclassman. Maybe he should stick to slashing mascots. I felt real bad for the Sioux fans from Portland OR sitting next to us who flew in to Denver to see this game.
