April 14 Matchups

Too bad about Colorado tonight, they should have been on that puck for the icing in overtime. Sakic potted one, and that's always nice to see. Good game anyways, overtime for the third consecutive game, great series so far.

Detroit should have swept this series. They need to absolutely own the next two games and regain momentum for the next round. Arnott's shot was an absolute bomb tonight. Good on him.

GO PENS GO! Do I like the Pens, they're fun to watch - but I'm not going to buy a jersey anytime soon. That being said, Ottawa are a bunch of pansies and I despise that team, so it was nice to see them get taken over in the third. Nice goal by Sid the Kid to go ahead, then Staal and Hossa potting goals too - good stuff. The passing on the Talbot goal was beautiful! Every Penguin touched the puck. I have to admit, Foligno's goal was dirty too.

I was on the ice for the first time in what seems like a month. I went to the Winning Attitude to get my stick cut down more (I don't have a saw here in Guelph) to regain my handle and it seemed to work. I was pretty rusty, but I did pot two breakaway goals (kick double-deek & Forsberg) and then potted a beauty in a little shootout afterwards. I came in from the outside and pulled the Bure (off the skate). Not quite as pretty as Pavel's, but it was a nice confidence booster none-the-less.
