A few quick notes tonight:
-WHAT A GAME!!!! That was one of the best games of the season...the fans got every penny out of it.
-Our guys were flying from the gates...Erik Felde was flying, Levi Nelson was flying...they threw everything but the kitchen sink at Lazaruk in that first period and ended up empty handed at the end of 20. However, if you keep chipping and stick with the plan, success will come in this game. The Broncos did exactly that and managed to score three unanswered to take a lead in the third. Geordie Wudrick was among the best players as well, with one goal and one assist....and Matt Tassone also deserves kudos for his play.
-how about the 3-2 goal by DUDAS???!!!! One of the prettiest goals to date this season! That brought fans to their feet, and got non-hockey people cheering. lol And if that goal is left out of www.whl.ca's "Plays of the Week" feature, I dunno. I'll be pissed. Hopefully they add this one...it's worthy.
-on defense, Doyle, Claffey, and Stamler had stellar games.
-things tonight that were not-so-nice, included the first goal allowed by Yonks, (even though he bounced back to have a pretty solid rest of the game) at times the play in our own zone was endless...we've seen this quite a bit this year...some of our guys on defense have to learn a few things. That's fine...new things are learned every single game.
-the OT winner was a labelled shot, and almost IDENTICAL to Stamler's OT winner last Friday versus Moose Jaw by Bretton Stamler. Tonight, the hero was Erik Felde, and it was only fitting. Again, Felds was flying tonight.
EXTRAS:
-the officiating in this game semed to be loved by all....for a while, everything was let go. I exploded in anger at the Felde call which gave the Ice momentum to eventually tie the game at three, but afterwards I thought about the entire game, and the officials were pretty darn good. Can't complain about this style of officiating.
-great Wednesday crowd at 2294. WOW. Fans have sure stepped up to the plate this season! Thanks for coming out!!! :)
-Dean Chynoweth is having success versus Brother Jeff this season. That's great to see. lol
-I got the ole' car looked at yesterday morning for it's bumps and bruises sustained in the P.A. mishap. It turns out I saved money by being stupid and NOT calling a tow truck, if you can believe that. A tow would have cost $300 or so...to get the car back on the road intact. The part that was wrecked by having a passer-by pull it, is worth like $50. Turns out the bill to fix it will be around $200. WOW. Surprise. Good luck my way...ONCE. lol
-yes...the 3-2 winner scored by Iginla to win it in Dallas tonight with 2:30 to go in the game, stung. Kujo was good in goal. The Stars had an extremely rare Wednesday night problem. I'm happy with the position though.....only ten points back of the Red Wings....second best in the league. Gotta be good. ;)
-FLATHEAD...I know you'll want to add your thoughts on that last note. haha Always interesting....;)
