How's that for an omen?
So much for the theory that Gerber was distracted by Emery (or is he distracted by Elliot now?) Perhaps I overestimated his technical skill a bit (or overestimated his mental strength a lot - and that's scary, when I think about it.)
Murray puts in a call to Tallon, and I'm thinking Tallon is in the driver's seat.
Dammit, another game like this, and Melnyk won't be questioning whether he should absorb a big contract in the minors, he'll be asking why he waited so long.
OK, back away from the ledge, please.
It's one game, a bad game by all. Gerber sucked. Alfie was not playing like Alife. Spezza with the give-away. Refs still hate us.
But we still got a point out of it, and the big-two had a three-point night. And we outhit the snot out of those waddlers.
Tomorrow Gerber *will be* better. Alfie will get a good night's sleep and be on fire tomorrow. Spezza will get another 2 points or more. The Pens defense will be really tentative going into corners. The Sens wil come back home with 3 out of a possible 4 points. That's like 123 points for the season, if you extrapolate.
The only question is, do we start the parade from the Red Zone and go downtown, or the other way round?
:D
