I should have given Klesla a huge GREEN light as he was a monster defensively against Holmstrom.<br /><br />2. Zetterberg is a little bitch with his poking and wacks all over the ice.. then of course he skates away.<br /><br />-LTLLTLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15817321633985765198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-66338733416415737942009-04-17T22:25:00.000-04:002009-04-17T22:25:00.000-04:00Good point HR.

I'm gonna watch Modin closer after reading your post... but to your point I'm just thinkin back to the game and now that you say it, I don't remember him doing much of anything.. <br /><br />I really like the guy when he's healthy. I also know players play injured all the time and I admire Modin's courage.. but there is a time when you have to weigh whether a player battling through injuries is actually helping or hurting you.<br /><br />That's why Hitch gets paid the big bucks right?<br /><br />-LTLLTLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15817321633985765198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-6995745154852298532009-04-17T21:39:00.000-04:002009-04-17T21:39:00.000-04:00What a bunch of classless A-Holes!

I take back any previous comments about their fans (overall) having class.<br /><br />On another subject:<br /><br />Someone PLEASE tell me, otherwise -is it me, or is Modin essentially pimping his way back into the lineup, even when he remains (having the skates of cement) 2 steps slow, an act of selfishness, or what? <br /><br />A warrior is one thing, but, playing while still injured, especially during the playoffs, is not helping the team. <br /><br />Keith Jones of Versus, possibly the only "pundit" who is predicting the Jackets to win this series, mentioned, earlier today, about how out of sync Freddie Mo is.<br /><br />Freddie: Do us all a favor, and PLEASE let someone who can help the team play. <br /><br />Carry the Flag!Mase1https://www.blogger.com/profile/14171977182695519123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-48272201542296473502009-04-17T16:17:00.000-04:002009-04-17T16:17:00.000-04:00Good post Wally.

There's been 5 or 6 redirects off CBJ players in the last 4 games. Mason has told the D to keep their sticks off the ice because if they cause a redirection, there's not much he can do to stop it. Leave him clear to make an unobstructed save rather than do him a favor...<br /><br />I think Manny was simply reacting how anyone would have, but it's (of course) not the Hitch way to react. Boooooooooooooooooo!<br /><br />But you get those two goals back and keep it tied through two periods, it could have been epic battle in the third. I've never seen a Hitchcock CBJ team play to the bitter end. No more hanging on for the tie and a point.<br /><br />Overall, it was a good game. They came out hard and settled for damage control in the 3rd. There's plenty we can harp on, but the first ever playoff game is history. Jitters should be gone and there should be no question in any player's mind what level they need to play at. Time to regroup and press on.Wallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246095763036354727noreply@blogger.com
