St. Johns verses Hamilton - GDT FRIDAY Feb 4th
 

who's starting?

Racine is playing in this game ..

Was he not supose to miss this game to go back home to be with his wife?

That's what it sounded like, but I guess not.

Tonight they're saying his fiance still hasn't given birth yet and he could leave at any time.

That right I am sure you heard the Ist period interview with Goal coach Steve McKichan Goaltending Consultant was on in the interview ..

Racine Wife is close and the team has Racine on a rotating Air Ticket so he cantake off any moment when he has to that the team supports that ..

I was very impressed with Steve McKichan interview .. Very well spoken and sounds like a very knowledgable person ..

Love the comment that when the goalies are playing well all is quite, but if they have a rough game they call him in and ask "WHAT ARE YOU DOING " with these goalies ..

POWERPLAYS

Milwaukee 0 for 4 : St. John's 1 for 4

1-0 Hamilton. Racine made a terrible giveaway and Duncan Milroy slid it into the empty net.

Edit: Engelhardt scores his first AHL goal on a nice pass from Jeremy Williams. Tie game.

Milwaukee? you mean Hamilton :D lol

2-1 Leafs :D

either Leeb from Stajan or it is Stajan's itself...they're reviewing.

wootwoot im watchin it on T.V. its on hamiltons cable14

Opps ...Damn Cut and Paste

Bulldogs tie it up with less than a minute left and the net empty. Plekanec.

We're in OT now.

Leafs win. :handclap:

Ling with the PP goal in OT. Colaiacovo and Druken with the assists.

it looks like Racine was busy
can anyone who watched the game tell me how he played/looked out there?

Well very few people watched the game.

But I do know that Racine was named 1st star and announcer Brian Rogers largely credited him with keeping the Leafs in the game during a couple stretches when the team was out to lunch.

On a side note, David Ling was named 3rd star and Brad Leeb was named hardest working player for the second game in a row.

Any news on Racine and Racine Jr.?

Hamilton suuuucks. So much for Montreal's gang of prospects.

Anyways, Racine is the most underrated prospect in the Leafs organization. I'd have him ahead of Tellqvist, but that's just me.

Racine's fiancée is due any day now and they are expecting a little girl ..

Havn't you watched King of the Hill?

She could still be named Racine Jr.

racine wasn't very good i didn't think. he let in two really bad goals. both were completely his fault. he did make a few nice saves, but the goals were awful.

david ling, mvp baby! :yo:

Anytime a goalie makes 39 saves on 41 shots, he played a good game.

not when he directly causes 2 goals, one in the final minute to tie the game.

But the 39 shots he prevented from going in don't count?

Good game for Racine, as I said... anytime a goaltender makes 39 saves and allows just 2 goals, it was a great game for him.

not if he's going to let in 2 bad ones that were totally his fault.

2 bad goals in a tied game after regulation, that's not a first star performance, that's not a good game at all.
