Forget how much fun winning can be!
I apologize again for too many posts. Just feel like I should try to do pre and post game and balance it out. Hard to know sometimes

Dude, STAHP! We are fans (ok, some trolls thrown in here n there, but you get my point...) here and reading your posts makes being a fan an absolute pleasure. Post until your fingers bleed
Today was a good game, but I could see several areas on defense that voncern me: passing lanes aren't being filled, we're collapsing vs pushing into opponent's space, and late to transition to offense. Gotta tighten that down.
I know some folks may not wanna hear this based on the "less than savoury" showing for 7 games, but I REALLY want Kane & Sprong re-upped. Aside from them scoring roday, vased on the entire bidy of work, these guys are critical to the continued march to improvement. Kane's sublime with the puck and has an insanely unpredictable shot, he calms things down when he's on the ice. Yeah, his defense is like a Matador, but the other things he does...we need that. Sprong's just a beast. His shot's a bomb, he hits lile a train, and actually dishes the puck relatuvely well. His physicality is essential and he causes opposing teams to have to adjust how they defend when he's on the ice.
PITT's gonna be hot tomorrow. Hate saying this, but we have GOT to win. There's going to be a knife-fight for the final SCPO WC spot so we need to start sharpening our blades. We wanted "improvement" this season; we're being treated to something more. There's still a great deal of work to do, and making the SCPO would be a great thing. Unfortunately, based upon the 7 games before today, I think it'll be brutal, but just making it would be a feather in our hats. This IS a good team, but there are glaring holes that need to be filled.
Good game. Recharge. Have GOT to answer the bell tomorrow.. ..
