An opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it.
Doesn't that statistic kind of make the others moot points?Originally Posted by HURRICANE'S ROCK
As for displaying the differences between games with some player injuries and where they are healthy, you do know the Ice just got back to health as well...
Finally, the shots on goal generally fall in favour of the team that is trailing in a game, as they have to pull out all the stops in order to try and get the W. On thing I am sure about, I am happier now than I was before reading your stats, because having that kind of success in the regular season meetings, shows that the Ice are affective against the Canes system.
Okay I will.....ThanksOriginally Posted by HURRICANE'S ROCK
Let all Hurricane fans be with their team right to the end.......remember last time the hurricanes came by the second round they almost won the memorial cup........i know that is history but we can still cheer them on and BELIEVE.

GOOOOOOO!!!! Canes!!!! GOOOOOOO!!!!
vci33 Lets pound them to the ice.
Versteeg is suspended for Game 1 because of his low hit on McCue's knee last Sunday.
It looked a bit low at the time, although no penalty was called by either ref...oh well, either Yadlowski or Alexiuk will get a chance to play tonite.
Damn was that ever a frustrating game to watch! I was extremely disappointed in half of the club. It was like they half of them were sitting at home watching the game on tv! Boychuck was horrible to the worst possible extent tonight. Absolutely ZERO hustle from him. And in the dieing moments of the game when they needed to pressure they looked like they just wanted to get home and watch some OC reruns or something! What happened to the energy and passion in the first series Canes?! Were was the physical game? The speed? At least half of the team was just along for the ride with the only true exception in my mind being Hotson who was great all night long as well as Craig who seemed more interested in hustling than most forwards did.
Once again we screw up a lead against Kooteny, and more power to them for the come back. That being said, if the Canes do decide to show up, this game and tomorrow nights could be a VERY different story. And what is up with the fair weathered fans in Lethbridge. I had a woman sitting behind me who so excited until we got behind and then it all came out, "WHY did we even buy tickets to this game!! Lets go right now!". And with five minutes left they walked out of the building! Overall, exteremly disappointed in the boys! Were they horrible? No, but they only played a FRACTION of what i know they can and that speaks louder to me about their character than anything else.
Ill be there loud and proud once again tomorrow but unless the boys come out ready to do the same, this series will be over in a hurry.
Go Canes!
Very good analysis, As much as the top line brings to us, they were not in the same rink. Get used to the trap and fight through the zonal interference. Kootenay does tie up the center zone with their trap. Hail mary passes don,t work here and we need to win the individual battles not only in our own zone and theirs but at center ice.Our best line was our worst line tonight, 5 on 5 . But this team has been learning all season and unfortunatly they received another installment tonight.Let,s have some more execution Saturday night . The physical play of Versteeg will help tommorow .I for one am getting fed up when the league review plays after the fact, Mr. referee in chief let your officials do their jobs.Who the ****** needs you to rule after the fact. If the officials can,t do their jobs on the ice get someone who will and stop penalizing players when a call is missed.It was a two man system and both ruled the hit legal . Yet you after listening to some one cry about it watched it maybe5 times and decided well maybe it was a low hit , well maybe it was not. When your cameras are up in the rafters any hit is going to look lower than it was. No one wants someone to get hurt but injuries do occur in sports and this suspension was not appropriate for Versteeg or anyone else
