DON

Go Habs.

(Yannick Weber)

Who will they likely replace in lineup, when they do dress?

Beaulieu and Petry might be a good pair, have they tried them yet?

Holloway tied for 3rd in AHL scoring, Thomas tied for 5th...very early in season of course but still good.

picked out Bob's line eh. Gotta complain about something and Semin is this years Rene Bourque for me, got skill but bit lacking between the ears it seems. The positive stuff is a long list and cant find much to bitch about, so Beaulieu and Semin (possibly Gilbert) play are it for now.

Delusion! He is what we have seen...a washed up & soon to be KHL player. He has been playing with same linemates for a month, forget about him give up all hope, beyond here lies nothing else, he hasnt another gear nor will have a sudden realization that he must produce or be gone.

They are off to a good start, but seems very young teams are quite streaky and first few games may mean little in long run, but hope you are correct. Holloway-Hudon and other top forwards are doing very well. It was quite a surprise when Big Mikey scored with 1second left, but the way the stunk it up for first 2 periods they didn't even deserve the 1 point (but Tokarski kept them in it long enough).

Just people were hoping he would play a bit desperate being cut loose by Carolina, but to me he seems very soft, slow and not 'real' motivated and maybe a younger more hungry winger couldn't be worse could he?.

Off to shootout Hudon scores, opponent scores Carr stoned, opponent lost puck-no shot Holloway stopped, Petrov stopped by Tokarski Andrighetto fanned on shot, Wright Tokarski blocker save. Thomas scores, Beck scores McCarron stopped by Gibson, Kearns fired over top of net Dumont scores, some guy scores 5-hole Scherbak backhand off side of net, Vaive stopped by Tokarski Eisenschmid denied, other guy scores and winning goal.

Dumont-Rose-Ellis on the PK

Carr-McCarron-Barberio start OT Hudon-Thomas next duo, but Barberio quickly takes a slashing penalty. 4 on 3 coming up 0:44seconds into OT

8.7 seconds left and McCarron takes faceoff and he scores with 1.1 seconds left in 3rd. (from Thomas-Esenschmid) Off to OT

Barberio (1) ties it up 1-1 couple minutes left in 3rd. IceCaps quickly down 2-1 with 2 minutes left.

33-10 shots mid 3rd 0-0 still

Midpoint of game and showing only 6 shots for IceCaps. (shots now 20-7) Nothing at else of note but 25-8 shots near end of 2nd. 2 whole shots in the 2nd! Tokarski playing well to keep it scoreless.

0-0 after 1st Toker is playing net. IceCaps only 6 shots

Have we seen enough of Semin yet, to criticize him and call for a replacement (even if just a game or two)?

IceCaps 2nd in Eastern conference, but are #1 in the league in PIMs.

McNivan 1ga 23save win Bradley gets his 2nd. MacMillan -4 after 2 ECHL games.

Nice move by Carr on breakaway, Holloway set Hudon up for basically a tap-in and Thomas with sweet shot, Scherbak gets his 1st, Hodon could of/should of had another one or two and Holloway keeps producing. (oh and 0-5 on the PP is more like old times)

Weise 80% on 5 faceoffs Flynn 75% on 12 MItchell 15% on 13 and again Galchenyuk held his own, 55% on 11 faceoffs (Eller only took 1 and DD none)

Make it 3-2 on Hudon (2nd) from Holloway.

4:45 left and now 2-2

"Rocket" shot by Thomas (4th) 9:10 and up 2-1 Off faceoff win by Big Mikey they added.
