Some more thoughts as I've had a day of thinking about the game...
There weren't that many boo birds out there during the introduction to Gaby, a couple of boos and "sign the contract" were heard but other than that nothing. Gaby wasn't a game breakir in this one, and his line didn't really create that much offense, though he did unselfishly pass the puck to Boogey to try and get him a goal (and Boogey will score 1 goal this year). Oh...and Gaby was given the A, something I didn't think he would get, I thought that maybe Johnsson or Schultz might get it but hey it's the coaches' decision.
Martin Skoula played really well, no brain farts as of yet, and if we could get him playing like this all season, fans may actually start liking him. Bergeron on the other hand was a defensive liability. He coughed up the puck twice, that I remembered, in the defensive zone which lead to scoring chances. And if people say that he can make that up with his scoring ability, his goal in the second against Manny was a weak goal, as Fernandez had the puck, but it just squeaked through under his pads.
What's with Veilleux and Burns both going down on the second Savard goal. After they stopped the first chance, they couldn't get back into the play and stop Savard, as both were still laying on the ice (it's probably why Jacques doesn't like his players sliding down to block a shot). Maybe it would have help too if Gaborik was trying to get the puck away from Savard.
I'm really starting to warm up to Owen Nolan. You know he's a competitor and has a lot of guts to stand up to the 6'9'' Bruins d-man Zedno Chara, nothing really amounting out of it seeing as the refs stepped in right away.
And I still am trying to get used to seeing number 15 and not thinking of Sheppard but of Brunette but all through out the game I kept thinking "Why is Sheppard playing on the wing?" and "Who's #51?". It'll take a couple of games for me.
That's it for now, I'm going to try and catch some games later tonight after work. HOCKEY IS IN SESSION!
