Tired

A shootout loss--not great, but got a point which is better than zero.  The boys looked tired, often like they were just going in slow motion.  I don't particularly blame them, it's been a really rough month.  They came out slow, PG dominated the start of the game, but give the tired team some credit, they kept fighting and took it to OT then to shootout.  Snow angel count:  zero.

"They are a dangerous team up front and they have guys who are dangerous with the puck," said Messier, who had two goals and an assist in regulation. "We played hard this month with all the road games, and it's good to get a point even though we didn't win."

"I wish we'd had a little more in the tank," said Tri-City coach Jim Hiller. "You don't want to lose that point in the shootout. They (PG) have a really strong offensive team. Prince George scores a lot of goals and they can score in a hurry. You have to be on your toes."

Former American Spencer Asuchak put the Cougars back out front 3-2 at 5:53 of the second period, following his own shot for his eighth tally of the year.

"This (win) feels good," said Asuchak, who had all of 10 goals last year. "I wanted to take it to them and show them what they are missing. We proved ourselves here tonight." (Herald)

I'm glad to see Spencer doing well, just wish it wasn't against my team. 

I assume the boys have today off, Shinnimin and Prokop (along with Winger) will be at Ranch and Home later today for part of the safe Trick-or-Treat shindig.

So go ahead and stuff your faces with candy, it's the thing to do.  Happy Halloween!!

One final note, huge Congratulations today to my dear friends Audra and Zac who are getting married today!!
