Yeah, and only a week till he demands a trade

and with that skill if he does, someone else will take him.
by Michael Gleich on Oct 19, 2009 7:58 PM EDT up reply actions
Sure
But the puck was bouncing all over the place. Heatley’s skill turned it into a good shot. The goaltender would just have to sit back and wait to see what happened. Can’t really set up for it.
by Lunkwill Fook on Oct 19, 2009 7:57 PM EDT up reply actions
By the way
I love how Heatley said Drury’s goal was fluky. I wanted to punch him.
Yeah
He said the 1st goal was a lucky bounce. As opposed to giving Drury for a great deflection.

you know, if it was the 1st period, you could say they start slow, if it was the 3rd, you blame it on conditioning, I can’t think of any reason why they are playing poorly in the middle period. It really doesn’t make any sense. But honestly, they haven’t played well since it was 2-0

What was torts thinking? Torts should get the loss for the game.
The sharks are one of the best teams in the leauge, Valley gets blown out by good teams. He needs contacts or something because half of the time he doesn’t even see the puck. He puts lunquist against the leafs and valley against the sharks.. wtf? This was a bad move imo..
I WAS SO EXCITED WHEN WE had that 2-0 lead too..
how do they go from playing so well to so crappy so fast
LET'S GO RANGERS!!!
Tonight was a test with san jose to see how good we really are...
compared to the best teams in the leauge. Thats what everybody was watching for… AND HE PUTS IN VALLEY? Still can’t believe it.
