That was a once in a lifetime goal. Really want to pretend ice time was a big factor in it?

If he had played 28 mins in regulation that does NOT happen as he wouldn't of had the speed to get by Burns in the first place. So yes.

This is just nonsense. The goal was in the second period....and this is a guy who takes end to end rushes in OT after playing big minutes. He played maybe two minutes less than normal to that point.

Great goal, but I'll credit coaching far ahead of a couple minutes of ice time.

Nobody has mentioned that it was Kane that was responsible for Skinner on the game winning goal....as if it needed to get better!

TWO?!?!? That will feel like eternity!

Can confirm: Anything more than a few hours in Lockport is an eternity.

I feel like micro managing the team right now, but since they won 10 in a row, I wont

I know Scandella and Bowl-u have not been our best defensemen, but they are the only 2 we have that have actually played in the playoffs. Bowl-u has been playing pretty well and Scandella has been really bad, but unless we bring in another vet with playoff experience I don't see either being moved.

you forget the almighty Matt Hunwick...

Heard any time table?

Last I heard he was skating on his own, but nothing even remotely close to playing shape.

I'm more worried about the waiver situation than him, but still.

Wow, that is quick. I thought it was a real question if he would ever play this year if ever again.

Thank you.

96 sounds about right. Is that fair given the standings though?

I would agree with this. They're gonna hit a cold stretch but 96 seems reasonable and hopefully they won't suffer any major injuries.

I say wins, you say 1 goal losses.

I thought the same thing. I guess we'll see what materializes and what the roster looks like injury wise if he actually does come back.

I see 10 wins

I got them at 11-2-2.

True, maybe a certain someone breaks again.

We've been really lucky on the injury front this year...knock on wood.
