Re: Resurrecting the Isles (EHM)

Yep the Rocket and the Pocket Rocket!! Loved those guys.

Re: Resurrecting the Isles (EHM)

They just seem to win a lot of close games due to that as their goals for and against is 109/105.

That's a relief, I thought they were legitly good. It may also be due to what division they play in.

Re: Resurrecting the Isles (EHM)

Is Kovalchuk still on the Thrashers or did Atlanta have a brain fart and let him walk?

Week Recap:
3-0-1, should've been 4-0 but we blew that Florida game big time, a late 1st period goal, then letting up a shorthanded goal in the 3rd... but then we come out and pitch a shutout the next game so it was good to see the guys rebound strong. Christensen got injured in Sunday's practice and is day-to-day, but Plekanec is back, so the lines will reflect those changes.

Kovy is still there and he's leading the team in both points and goals by a ton.

Re: Resurrecting the Isles (EHM)

Man what a run for the playoffs you've gotten here. What place are you in right now?

1st in the division, leading the Brodeur-less Devils by 6 points. 4th in the conference by points with only Carolina, Boston and Ottawa better than us. Standings will be updated after the next week of games. Once it gets to the 60 game mark, I'll update the standings weekly rather than bi-weekly.

2nd Star: Steen (TOR) - Goal, Assist
3rd Star: Kubina (TOR) - Goal

Notes:
-Christensen is moving up to the 3rd line and Pouliot down to the 4th and obviously DiPietro will be back in net. Campoli should be 100% for our next game and assuming he is, MacDonald will be the healthy scratch.

Player of the Week:
Kimmo Timonen (PHI) - 4 GP, 3 G, 4 A, 7 PTS.


Week Recap:
1-2 this week.. nearly got robbed of a win by Luongo, DiPietro was weak against Atlanta and we didn't play nearly well enough against Toronto on home ice. The loss of Sedin has really hurt us as with Booth already out, we're decimated on the left wing with no one that really has the ability to play on the top line. Bottom line, someone needs to step up.

Those two wins against New Jersey were huge as well as it gives us some comfortable distance between us and them.

If this continues, it looks like you will make the playoffs. Just hope you don't have to play Ottawa, who seems like your mortal weakness.
