So, that sucked

ass-pat to Wazz for sending the image.  But yeah, that's about how it went last night.  

"This is one (film) that you don't even watch once," said Ams coach Jim Hiller. "You can slice and dice this game 100 different ways, but it was just a bad game for us."

"Early on, we weren't as firm on the puck," Hiller said. "We had opportunities with the puck on our stick but couldn't get it past our own blue line.

"We just weren't ready for their pressure tonight, and it showed. They wanted the puck more early in the game, were firmer with the puck, and they were able to find the back of the net."

"We were fortunate that way last year" avoiding the injury bug, Hiller said, "but we're paying the piper a little bit early this year." (Examiner)

That last quote refers to Stebner leaving early in the game and not returning.  EEEeek.  Time to whip up a  batch of healing waffles--they worked for Neal.

Let's just forget about last night, mmkay?
