Title: Nuks Vs. Blue Jackets
Post by: mastercaster on October 21, 2007, 02:53:43 PM: Nuks played a great first period...especially the Kessler, Cooke, Burrows line.

2-0... Go Vancouver!

Post by: mastercaster on October 21, 2007, 03:44:50 PM: Nuks continue to shoot themselves in the foot....too bad for them that games go longer than 20 min. They took far too many penalties and if not for some stellar goaltending by Sanford would probably find themselves down in the game instead of being up 2-1. Kelsler coninued to play extremely well.

No shots on net for the Nuks in Period Two. Coach V needs to give them a pep talk during the intermission to get them going for the 3rd.

Nazzy scored a high light reel goal to make it 3-1 which gave them some breathing room (check it out tonight on Sportsnet). Morrison took a bonehead penalty by shooting the puck over the glass with 2 minutes left in the game. The Jackets pulled their goalie and on ensuing 6 on 4 Kessler scored a brilliant emty net shorthanded goal by stripping the puck off of Foote in the neutral zone on the forecheck to solidify the win!

Even with Kessler's great game, Sanford was easily the first star and stole this one for the Nuks....a great way to start their road trip! Go Nuks Go!

Post by: Big Steel on October 21, 2007, 05:05:11 PM: Nice to see the finish strong. ;D But come on, no shots for 31 straight min.... ::) I have no idea what is going on with this team right now. Last year, to start the season, they may not have been winning a lot, but at least they were competing for a whole game. :-\

It's true Dion. The noose is getting tighter around John Ferguson's neck.

I have to agree with that assessment but who would want to pick up his salary? Another Swede I'm not happy with at all is Ohlund. Man...does he ever fight the puck! Case in point....Brind A'more to Whitney on the empty netter. And he always seems to be a step behind.
