Game 1 of 72 in the books
It most definitely was the first game--sloppy passing, sloppy line changes. But the end result is what matters and that's the 4-1 win.
I didn't think any one player played particularly bad, I think it's just a matter of chemistry needing to come together. That's why there's 72 games.
Some observations:
- The new retro-style jerseys are HAWT. And more amazing, the team splurged on matching socks.
- The "ice girls" were tastefully dressed
- Ty Rimmer is pretty good. He's got a different style than Owsley which I'm so used to seeing, more...floppy for lack of a better term, but it works for him. He got some good help from the D corps as well.
- Mason "Wrecking Ball" Wilgosh. That is all.
- Total highlight of the night?? Michal Plutnar's goal celebration.
- Penalty kill looked great.
- Walter's scrap may have sealed Olli Dickson's fate.
"We had a lot of new faces in the room and a packed building, and it took us a bit to get our legs under us," Hughesman said. "Everyone played well and contributed. I think a guy like (Lukas) Walter, stepping up with a big hit and a fight helped turn it around for us."Tonight the Portland Winterhawks are in town, ought to be a good show. Don't forget you can skate with the Americans after the game.
"I thought we got better as the game went along," Feser said. "Everyone did their part and we were good on the PK. We had good communication on the power play and it showed in the results." (Herald)

Plutnars goal celeb. was fantastic. Walters fight was a pounding.
Rimmers work in goal gave a little piece of mind to any doubters.
The "ice girls" didn't bother me one bit and I actually liked their outfits.
New jerseys were VERY COOL and now I want one. BAD.
Hit on Wilgosh was crap, and I loved our fan reaction.Didn't feel bad about it at all.
Looks like you took the camera away from your face long enough to get this one right DS...LOL j/k ( i mean that in total laughs at the creep who said you needed to do so.) I dont always agree w/your opinion of the games but your pretty spot on for most and this is one!
Yep, she finally figured it out.
* I hope you didn't take my comment about the camera seriously. Not sure how to read the post below. I wasn't saying your wrong,I just don't always agree with the opinions put out, but you have a great point of view on the games & its always a pleasure to read the blog posts.
@bc I didn't take it seriously, I LOL'd. The "put your camera down and figure it out" is the punchline for this season, it will be used over and over, all in great fun.
At least nobody is basting lambs this season.
