2-1-1. Definitely can't complain. Nice to see we're scoring a bit more now. DiPietro will be getting the next start and I'm sure there'll be some more line juggling.

Haha, I just got sick of NHL 09. It got too easy for me but I still had a hockey craving so I busted out the EHM lol, I think I'm hooked all over again.

Yeah, it's about time, I was starting to worry.

Yeah. But like I said, 2-1-1, fine by me for this season. And hey, we actually did pull off a pretty impressive comeback against Washington just to get it into OT and then the shootout, so there is a minor victory there. Plus the loser point

[star king3]

^^Ci cant complain getting out with a point when you didnt deserve to win.
