Goaltending
If it weren't for some stellar goaltending by Dan Ellis, this game may have had a different tone. He came up big early on and definitely deserved the shutout which included a couple big saves late in the game.
Jose Theodore put in a mediocre performance as he let in 4 goals on 29 shots. Memory is failing me now but at least 3, if not all 4, were blocker side shots including a couple that you'd expect to be stopped.
However I do hope to see Theodore in net next game, if only to show that Q has figured out that one bad game doesn't mean a shakeup is needed in the crease.
Offense
None
Defense
None
Fisticuffs
None
Ok, that was a little glib but shutouts always put me in a sour mood. The game wasn't as bad a performance as it looked on paper.
Notes
- Wolski is showing that he has the ability to hang onto the puck in the offensive zone and not get pushed off easily
- but he still isn't finishing his checks like earlier in the year
- Svatos had some point blank chances but Ellis shut him down
- Shea Weber > Dion Phaneuf

the site looks great, Shane.
the game? not so much.
I like the redesign.
And I like your Shea Weber > Phaenuf comment.
Nice new look, Shane. Very sharp.
As for Shea Weber, I'm seriously in favor of trading Liles to Nashville for him. Weber is boss.
Thanks for the comments on the redesign guys. The overall look was from an existing template, I just widened the content area and made a few tweaks.
If FG swung a trade involving Liles and got Weber in return, I'd book a flight to Denver and give him a giant bear hug.
