  1. Wow no comment on last night’s pens-leafs game from our usual suspect…I guess that’s a win. What else can you say about losing a game where you held your opposition to only 8 shots after two periods and end up losing the game in regulation.

    I think there’s a lot that can be said about both teams but alas the season is still early and non of these results mean much but we are getting closer and in most cases, not much can be said about performances of teams so far this season. In a few weeks we should know more about who’s actually good or not.
