Will Isbister report to Bingo?

In a game that means something, that play doesn't happen (well, the Redden pinch might happen...)

It was Girardi's pinch I think and then Isbister destroyed Redden one on one. Redden went for his patented poke check and Isbister just blew by him. The goal was lucky, I thought the pass took too long to get to McAmmond, but I thought the play was awesome personally.

On anyone other than Matt Zabba, that wouldn't go in.
And Girardi's pinch may have created the 2-on-1 opportunity, but Redden's just stop skating backwards and flung his stick at Isbister, who just drove wide.
He didn't make any great move or use any outstanding speed, it was just a terrible play from Redden.
Imo thats even better than seeing Isbister tear it up! :lol!:

As for Isbister, I think he'll be reporting to Bongo for sure.

Auld, Bell and Regin all played well. The thing is Croney, these guys were asked to play a checking role. THey played hard, but were simply out matched. It was to be expected.

I don't know if they knew what Hartsburg wanted.

Go out and tight-check the Rangers! Uh...okay. Regin was excellent, Auld was too. Bell was average IMO.

We should take up a collection and ensure Redden teaches that wavy-stick poke check to the Euro's and Russians at their kids hockey camps. We will win Olympic gold after Olympic gold and World championships by the bunches until they figure out what we have done.

That's awesome! LOL
