Right On Time.
I'm suprised that anyone would want Franz Nielesn over Silly (for this year). The guy just for his face-offs is worth it. Plus he hasn't really been bad offensively. Good? NO, but that whole line has different motives this year. Just look at Hunter. Also look at how many GP for Sillinger.

AND like someone said he is a guy 15 teams would want come deadline time. Veteran guy, great leader, great face-off, can score, back-checks etc.

Sorry to hear you had a rought time with the 4 Crapitals fans. There were plenty of empty seats in section 112 in the first period. I'd say half the 100's were empty for the first period. Craps fans (both of them) are a half rung above Dodgers fans...arrive late and leave early.

Notice how many of them left before the OT began as well.

Gaithersburg...nice stop on the red line. I live in Alexandria and it is always so nice to leave that clown college of an arena with two points.

Few things about the game tonight...dicey D in the first period...wtf was Berard doing on that first goal? Two giveaways in 30 seconds both resulting in great scoring chances, the second resulting in the breakaway goal.

WTF game were the refs watching? Erskine crosschecked Guerin in the face at center ice while the puck was in his feet...and it was a blatant stick to the face. Guerin's head went back and all that was missing was a Costner voiceover saying "back and to the left"... yet nothing was called and 30 secs later they give Guerin a BS slashing call when both he and Erskine were mixing it up.

Guerin played with fire tonight. I'm sure it helped that the Craps pissed him off with the cheap crap, but you ccould see how the others rallied around him and played harder after he stepped up to Erskine and then Brashear. Great message by the leader of this team. Wouldn't have seen that from Cashin.

But the refs were brutal. They called nothing for 55 minutes and then called stuff that didn't exist in the last 5. If you aren't going to call anything...fine, do it the full 60 and catch your flight. It was obvious they had a game to work tomorrow anyway.

Some Islanders fans had a sign that took up four seats that said "Howie Rose for President". Two thoughts...how sad that the Craps had so many empty seats available and please don't let those signholders vote :thumbsdown:

Great win. Glad to get the two points and move on. And the wife owes me dinner because we won the season series :thumbsup:

Yeah....even with everyone taking mass transit they still bolted early. The refs did tighten the lid after some chippy play. I understand why they did it but did not agree with the calls themselves.

We did get away with one in the third.

I love how this team gets better as the game goes on. Rolling four lines like we did during a good stretch will help us out immensely during the stretch.


Also, IMO....Silly goes nowhere.

Good point on Silly Tinman!!

I have nothing to add. Another big win.
I guess this makes it tough for those preaching "SELL, SELL, SELL".

Never ever quit.
When you see other teams with key injuries and they struggle too and you look at the conference standings and see that you're ONLY 10 points from 1st overall DESPITE being 9th with on avg of 20 games for teams to play, you GO for it.


Come on boys, keep er going!
