Basically the league is saying you can deck someone in the last 5 minutes of a game without fear of retaliation because the other guy doesn't want a suspension.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-41491713866429890212008-10-31T16:01:00.000-04:002008-10-31T16:01:00.000-04:00I'd put money on it that Nash has an injury that h...I'd put money on it that Nash has an injury that he's playing through.

I believe the coach also gets fined.<BR/><BR/>Personally I think Boll can use the rest but you certainly take your hat off to him for coming to the aid of a teammate even as banged up as he is. <BR/><BR/>Of course not that Dorsett can't take care of himself... right Tucker?<BR/><BR/>-LTLLTLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15817321633985765198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-90338074008455255652008-10-31T12:22:00.000-04:002008-10-31T12:22:00.000-04:00Yeah I feel like the refs definately gave the jack...Yeah I feel like the refs definately gave the jackets the shaft.

The effort was there, the skill is there and Freddy looked good. <BR/><BR/>If the CBJ give that effort every night we will be just fine. It however has only shown up in a few games, @ Dallas, opening night and last night. <BR/><BR/>As for Nash getting a center...we have one but Hitch doesn't want to break up a good line w/ Brass, Chimmer and Jake. I can't say I blame him.<BR/><BR/>Defense looked solid, I'm not ready to declaim them good, but they played well last night.<BR/><BR/>We will see if they can keep it rolling with Chicago in town Saturday. Hopefully the crowd shows up, I will be there and do my part.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-39663393162753744402008-10-31T11:00:00.000-04:002008-10-31T11:00:00.000-04:00I hear ya Wally...There has to be something really...I hear ya Wally...<BR/><BR/>There has to be something really wrong with Boll...

That guy needs a break in the worst way.<BR/><BR/>As far as Nash, I'm not sure what to think. He brought it hard at both ends and always seemed to be in the thick of things. We need him as a scorer definitely, but he closed up a lot of space in our own end and I think that helped the D out a lot. Not to mention, for once, I saw our D control the onslaught... they did not let the AVs skate right in and shoot, pass, settle in, etc. They put the hit on immediately and shut them down...<BR/><BR/>Boll got a one game suspension for the 3rd period fight, so he's out for the Chicago game. Seemed like he was holding his arm/shoulder a bit after each fight. Not a lot of punches, but maybe the holding and squirming was a little much? Someone get the kid a punching bag for Christmas... He needs some practice!<BR/><BR/>Overall, a very impressive win.

I think the short shifts really made the difference. And the secondary scoring was great to see.<BR/><BR/>questionable reffing...what's new there?<BR/>It was nice to see Huselius playing good defence. It's what we need. And our Defence finally stepped it up.<BR/><BR/>For my money, I think Nash is just in a bit of a slump. Hitch can't double shift him every game, all the time. Howson needs to step up and get him a center.<BR/><BR/>Norrena had a big game. He needs to string a couple of those together.<BR/><BR/>And finally...win the next two and we're back at .500Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
