Stick a jack up his ass, that's the only raise he deserves Pretty bitter there, Jeffy.

Indeed Gary indeed, in the short term I don't see Stan righting the ship, short of fleecing another team like say Anisimov for Mcdavid or Vinnie for Ovi

It'd be a fleecing even if it was Anisimov for Cameron McDavid.

He seems to think they got the new pieces in the past season..We can plan on enjoying Vinnie, all Swedish D boys...Geez, I hope Stan doesn't fuck up that 1st rounder.

Icehogs sweep the Wolves in triple OT, the 8th longest game in AHL history. Ejdsell snipes the PP game winner.

Good for Ejdsell. He seems to be a decent scorer. And NHL ready. And has nice size. The next Bickell?

But would be happy with the next Grant Mulvey.

Already saw one idiot Hawks blogger point out that the Rockford success is good news for the Hawks being better. Clearly someone who didn't notice that the team's leading scorers in the first round were hot prospects Chris DiDomenico & Adam Clendening...

That was a fun game to be at. DiDomenico dominated... It was a lot of fun to watch his line when they were out there. He's just on another level compared to everyone else on the ice. Not really sure why he's in the AHL, or why Ottawa traded him for Pokka(who can't skate). Seems like a good energy 4th line guy that can chip in offensively...even if he's 29. Good speed, good hands, great vision(made some ridiculous passes that his teammates failed to tap in), good shot...
The Icehogs play a high tempo, aggressive, physical game. Always two guys on the puck. Always two guys hard on the forecheck. Third forward is always cutting out the middle of the ice. Defense are up on their man, cutting off the stretch pass... They are always taking the body too. They play man defense in their zone. And they are aggressive. They aren't sitting back and letting guys cycle the puck or fuck around in the corners. Their defense go right at them, take the body, and another player comes in to support the puck. They also clear the front of the net, which is fucking amazing... Their power play setup was good. They had multiple shooting options, and if not for some HUGE saves from Lagace, they probably go 4/6. He kept the Wolves in the game the whole night.
Franson was a nasty, physical, imposing presence. A complete 180 from the neutered player we saw with the Hawks.
All in all, it was refreshing to see how Colliton has this team playing. Especially compared to the fucking bullshit the Hawks play. They resemble Vegas, to be perfectly honest. Aggressive forecheck, quick short passes with speed, lots of taking the body and puck support, and almost always attacking as a unit..
