Time to see what we're made of.
We’ve been essentially left for dead by everyone else.
Time to dig deeper and rise up.. once again.
PP coming up
Staubitz got a little too friendly with Niskanen

Turco looking a bit sharper tonight.
Good penalty call there.

Does anyone else like this cam view better?

What's different?
Other than it’s on the road and thus no HD, which means I can’t see almost all the offensive/defensive zone.

I Like This View Much Better
You can still see the action when the fans stand up in the lower bowel.
Unlike at the AAC

Yes...
when people stand up and I’m watching on TV, it causes me to have a bowel movement too :)

Didn't Score
But I liked the way the power play looked.
Probably because I didn’t see much of Robidas on the point :o)

Well, it looked like we were going to get a PP
Ribs may have gotten an even upper with that high stick

Yup...
Ribeiro caught him…
I can’t really tell whose stick caught him there though. Seemed boths ticks just got caught together.

Some first period thoughts:
Where did this team come from???? These guys are back to playing for one another and fighting as a team. You’re seeing the younger guys really stepping it up and Brunnstrom is having a hell of a game.
Fistric is looking good too.
Interesting to hear what Pavelski did.

As much as I hated the guy on SNL, I’ve got to say, his late night show has potential. You can still tell he’s nervous as hell, but I think he might have a shot at sticking around.

Conan is great.

by Brandon Worley on Mar 3, 2009 11:53 PM CST up reply actions
Yup...
I loved Conan, but he definitely also had it working against him that he had no on the camera experience and had strictly been a writer to that point.
Fallon at least has some on camera time, but he was horrible on SNL because he’d laugh at his and other’s jokes and ruin skits. Although in a late night show that’s not too devastating, or at least not as bad as on SNL.
I think ohters were like me and transferring their hate for him ruining skits on SNL all the time onto him taking this role which suits something like that a bit more. It’ll be interesting to see how he adapts to the spot though.
