Norfolk and the Pens had a brawl-filled night prior to the game I saw, and they continued with fights and scrums all night. I had comped seats to the game, 2nd row center, so I was close to all the action. With about a minute left in the game, and Norfolk up by more than a few points, all 10 skaters on the ice got in a pile up brawl. The goalies were looking at each other. Desjardins likes to lift his mask when there is a stoppage. I, of course, wanted to see a goalie fight, so I caught Desjardins' attention and motioned for him to go across the ice and start something up. He just smiled at me and shook his head. The exchange made my night, even if I didn't get to see the goalie fight.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11475304953684560462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-62061665859490291752011-01-02T14:58:49.524-05:002011-01-02T14:58:49.524-05:00interesting take on Arty's line pairings, i ag...interesting take on Arty's line pairings, i agree<br /><br />anonymous...the second goal is on gilroy as he should not leave his feet like that and be in no mans land. playing the pass means playing the man that is going to accept the pass, not just sliding through the lane<br /><br />i think gilroy should stay in for his offensive instincts as the team needs goals and i like his pinching and rushes<br /><br />dejardins played wellcraignoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-13148036445034667182011-01-02T13:08:37.218-05:002011-01-02T13:08:37.218-05:00wow a sad performance, Tampa Bay is good but not t...wow a sad performance, Tampa Bay is good but not that good, watch us miss the playoffs again this year if we don't start seeing consistencyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-30401385791779851662011-01-02T11:27:46.255-05:002011-01-02T11:27:46.255-05:00Not all the blame should be on Gilroy for those go...Not all the blame should be on Gilroy for those goals. Hell, not even sure if any should be. Yeah, he pinched on the first one and mis-timed his sliding block on the second, but it was actually Gaborik who needs to take some (all the?) blame on both. Goal one - Gilroy pinches. Any hockey kid from squirt-level on up knows that if your D goes up, a forward needs to cover. Gabby did that, but instead of backing out when they came at him, which anyone not comfortable with or used to playing D should do there, he himself pinched in to attempt a half-assed check on the puck carrier. It did diddly-squat, and the Lightning were off to the races for the goal. Goal two, Sauer takes out a forward, Gilroy is left with the rest. Again, any squirt knows you take the pass in that situation, so that's what he tried to do. Misplay on his part, yes, because he missed it, but Gaborik's lame excuse for a back-check led to him just standing there and watching as TB scored the winner. Gilly's not perfect, but Gabby needs to shoulder some of the defensive responsibility, and therefore the blame as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-22504136346243530742011-01-02T08:38:27.188-05:002011-01-02T08:38:27.188-05:00Not your intention, I'm sure, but you made it ...Not your intention, I'm sure, but you made it sound like Hank wore the nerd look DURING the game.
