Yes, I know we lost tonight but I don’t care. We have a cohesive team playing hockey. They played tonight the way they played last night. Tough, competitive and with their hearts. I saw a moment when the new coach, Sutter, tapped Bernier on the shoulder and I swear I could hear him saying to Bernier, “I know you can do this”. Good for our boy Bernier, he was on his toes tonight and played as well as I have seen from him this season.
I will leave the technical comments to Tracykingslover and Hockeyjockey. I will only say that there were fewer penalties in this game than I have seen previously and that, dear ladies, smacks of good hockey and lots of thinking on the part of the players.
The “Go Jets” chant didn’t do much to spur their team on to greatness and as a matter of fact it was kind of irritating to these old ears. Oh well, if it makes them happy, yadda, yadda, yadda.
I can hardly wait for Saturday night when we play another Canadian team that we love to hate. GO KINGS!!!

I approve! We have been balls out the last three games. I like what I see. Our PP is killing us. If we can get that under control, we can beat any team out there. Not sure what Sutter or DL will change with the offense, but something will change fairly soon. You heard it here!

One other thing, don’t you think its kinda creepy how close Sutter gets to the guy’s “ears”? I swear he takes a little nibble in between whispers. lol.

Too funny..but I am enjoying hiz interaction..and this is all a pleasent surprise for me.
…
Our guys do seem to have their Energy back..
Their enthusiasm translates to energy …I was Very pleased with the speed they have shown the last few games, I was starting to think we weren’t fast compared to other teams but we are!
And I am sure the guys were showing off for their Pops
We might have to get another Dads roadtrip together if we slump again.
GO KINGS GO!!!
