You ever have a conversation or even watch a TV show where the speaker has a very strong foreign accent? You spend so much time concentrating on listening to them that you don't actually hear what they are saying? Last night's game was like that for me.
I was concentrating so hard on staying out of the way and getting good shots, all while trying to avoid getting hit by sticks, pucks, and hockey players. Point is, there's large chunks of the game that didn't completely register, they might when I go through the gazillion photos I took.
That being said, I do know a couple things:
- Powerplay looked good, 3 of the 6 goals were on the PP.
- Shinny's short-handed penalty shot was damn sexy.
- The forecheck was outstanding.
- Pechurskiy is one feisty goalie when guys are in his crease, I freakin' love it.
- I love watching Adam Hughesman score. No really, he gets so excited, jumping super high into the goal celebration man hug.
- AMS didn't appear to have their foot on the gas from the drop of the puck, but after Blazers scored right away, that sure woke them up.
- Adam Hughesman, Enforcer? I don't think so. But gotta love the passion and energy, same with Plouffe's tilt.
- Mike Brown got more ice time last night, I'm liking his style of play more and more.
- Speaking of who is impressive, Patrick Holland continues to be solid, same with Sergei Drozd.

The Americans and their fans raised over $2,264 as part of 'The Herald and Hockey Help Haiti' fundraiser tonight. The initiative, which benefitted the American Red Cross' International Response Fund for Haiti, used proceeds from walk-up ticket sales, monetary donations at the game and a silent auction to help raise funds for the island nation that is still recovering from the aftermath of a 7.0 earthquake that struck on January 12. For more information on how you can help, visit the American Red Cross online at www.redcross.org

I loved the Blazers dark jerseys too. The orange piping around the numbers is freaking cool. That's my favorite new jersey in the Dub so far. Our are just okay. Uh-oh I sound like a freaking fashionista. I must be reading too many of Spokant's US Weekly's. I swear I don't watch "Project Runway" or anything.
On 2nd thought, I take it back. Who cares what they wear as long as there's blood on it.

Eww, not blood. How about tears of sadness cause the Ams owned 'em?
Uhhh...Spokant, do you have a multiple personality disorder that I don't know about?
