From what I'm hearing from the radio feed....Toronto has been in our zone a lot (partly because they've had 3 powerplays) but Auld has been solid with a few lucky breaks. Florida's had a few good chances too! Olesz got hurt though and won't be back tonight
I missed the first half of the game...just started watching. At least we're not done 4-0 like Saturday. How do we look so far tonight?
A lot better than Saturday. Auld has been great so far. Our defense (most notably Allen and Salei) have made some nice plays to get the puck away from the net when it's been close. We've had more offensive chances than in Atlanta, we just need to finish them.
no way we look a lot better then on saturday at least we have been able to move the puck up and down the ice and get a few good chances defense needs to tighten it up though
Is it just me or does Auld tend to just hold on to the puck more than play it? Given our centers and their ability to win faceoffs, Nieuwy and Jokinen especially, I'd rather see the play stop and have a faceoff in our end than have a bad rebound turn into a goal. I am rambling ... sorry. I'll shut up now.

AULD IS SO GOOD
........I mean lucky, but he's playing unbelievable tonight.
Our offense is pissing me off, stupid Jacques is all defensive and dump and chase only. I was watching Columbus's game (SINCE I JUST GOT CENTER ICE TODAY IN MY DORM YEAHHHHHHHHH) and they're skating it in with great speed and scored 2 of their 3 goals off the rush. We're really one of the only teams playing that style still, I really don't like Martin's ideas.

I totally agree....so many rebound goals have been scored on us.

That's what I posted about just yesterday. Atlanta's coach plays an offensive style and Martin doesn't.. We lost 6-0 and barely got any offensive chances. I watch other games on Center Ice of most teams and I see that the game looks completely different.
