No mention that Halpern played on TBL for parts of 3 seasons? Seems relevant showing that faceoff win.

It’s not the TBL broadcast crew, just seems relevant in discussing winning the draw like that against Lecavalier, given he’s strong in faceoff circle plus being a former teammate of VL.

Some good OZ time.

Oh, goody. A Crosby update. I’ve been wondering what was up with him. No one ever mentions him anymore.

by Aliceanna on Jan 31, 2012 9:05 PM EST reply actions  

I’ve heard there’s something wrong with his neck…?

Dingos are involved. Best not to ask.

by alex_k on Jan 31, 2012 9:06 PM EST up reply actions  

Huh. He might want to get that looked at.

Yeah, it’s been a whole 5 minutes. Withdrawal was starting to set in.

Too bad Brooks blew a tire.

Not a bad last few minutes there. We need that, and then some, in the 3rd.

I accidentally posted this in the last thread but agreed!

Nice shift from Brouwer’s line at the very end of the period.

If you have a beer in your hand in the 3rd, drink every time Carlson touches the puck and doesn;t turn it over

I thought the purpose of drinking games is to drink?

Of course they are. If they beat the Leafs, that would help the Caps.

by Aliceanna on Jan 31, 2012 9:10 PM EST up reply actions  

I was going to walk away for a bit and then they scored. So, they could still pull this out in the third. Ugh, decisions, decisions.

Eakin and Ward each had 2 shifts in the first and 2 shifts in the second. Rechlicz stayed on the bench for the second.

44-74: -6 in under two periods. Atrocious.
