That was not the same Maxime Lacroix that left here a couple of weeks ago. I was afraid that might happen, but its still disappointing.
Glad we could get away with the win. Seemed a little tame for a Wheeling/Cincy game though.

Does anyone else think the ice has been less than steller? Last night the
puck seemed to be not moving at it's usual pace. I saw bounces off the
boards that traveled maybe 6' when normally it would be 20'. Long shots
down ice barely made it all the way. Players were slipping and looked like
they barely were moving. I know the old trick of turning the temp. up to
slow fast teams down but we have been the fast team! Guido is the man that
might know but I'll respect trade secrets with no comment  ! We are down
at the 120 end and all season it seems an extra water problem around the
net.
As for the game- a win is a win. I hope for better play and faster (but
uglier) ice tonight. |

| Couldn't enjoy the game until almost the end of the 2nd period. The wife didn't get home from work until 7:30 and on the way to the game, some a$$hole ran into our van and said we ran into him. Needless to say, I was angry until almost the end of the 2nd. Then I calmed down. As for the game, bags said it. The did seem a bit slow. I also thought that both teams seemed a bit sloppy. |
What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
ZINGER!!!!! |

| Didn't make it to the game til the end of the 1st period. Got settled in for the 2nd period to watch Wheeling dominate in the corners with their size. Clones finally got something going in the third and nothing but good hard work led to Del Monte's game winner. Good cycling in the corners and then boom. Just happy we got out of that with the 2 pts. |

| With his size I didn't think it was possible to miss McKenzie on the ice, but for some reason he disappears when he is out there. |

Miss McKenzie? I agree on most of the time he is on the ice you could hardly tell he is out there. Last night he was hitting players hard against the glass like a mac truck. Even security come out to see if the glass had come undone.
On other note, I miss Chris Morehouse, his natural love of the game. Chuck really needs to get him back out there. |

Morehouse does not have the pure talent of the guys in the lineup last night, but the way he plays the game just makes him fun to watch. Especially if you keep grounded in the fact that you are watching AA hockey.
Thats the long way of saying we missed him too, but understand why he wasn't out there. He brings a tasmanian devil style energy to the game.
