Game Day v Prince George

hey, Spencer's back in town tonight! I love my goalies to death, but I kinda hope he snipes one. Just cuz.

"You can't overlook them," Lazo said. "(Brett) Connolly is a dangerous player and they have some guys who can score."

"After the last two games at home, we wanted to show our fans that it won't happen again," said Lazo, who had back-to-back hat tricks in the two wins. "It was nice to have four days of practice last week. We simplified things and got back to the basics. We want to put last month behind us and get a fresh start."

"We needed to get our game back," said Tri-City coach Jim Hiller. "We executed well and we were physical. We are at our best when we are physical. It doesn't matter how big you are, you take away the hands and the stick and knock them on their backside. Johnny used his speed and was the first guy on the puck. The goals were a byproduct of that. His whole line (with Brendan Shinnimin and Adam Hughesman) was good." (Herald)

Oh hey, Johnny's also CHL Player of the Week. That's damn sexy right there.

Thought this bit from Drinnan was interesting concerning Sbisa and the boners people around here seem to have for him:

There has been and is a lot of buzz among fans concerning Lethbridge Hurricanes D Luca Sbisa, 19. Will the Hurricanes trade him before the Jan. 10 deadline, or will they hang on to him? . . . Well, I spoke with one general manager on Tuesday who suggested that were a team to trade for Sbisa it should be prepared to have a tired player on its hands . . . whenever he is able to find time to play for them. “He’s going to be gone for so long,” the GM said. “You’re not getting him until . . . World junior . . . Olympics . . . he’s going to be burnt out. He won’t be anything good for you until playoffs. His whole focus will be World junior and Olympics; that’s all those players think about, their country.”

Remember AMS, there's a little cutie pie handing out the 3 stars awards tonight who really really really really really wants the autographed stick. Don't let her down.
