I - Congratulations to Tomas Tatar on your first career goal.  Here's to 894 more!

II - Faceoffs.  We can't afford to lose them, especially not when the other team is burying it within seconds of the draw.

III - First Pittsburgh, now the Wings.  Anyone check the temperature in Hell lately?

IV - I love watching player reactions on their first career goals.  Especially the guys who have been playing in the minors for a while waiting for a chance.

V - Paul Boyer might want to stop giving the Magical Exploding Sticks to Mule.

VI - Can't really fault Howie on any of the goals.   If his own team wasn't knocking it in, it was taking bad bounces.

VII - Had a good laugh watching Ozzie try to bro-hug John Keating during intermission.

VIII - Mursak has to be wondering what he's got to do to get his first goal.

IX - When are players going to get tired of having chances lost because their stick disintegrates *stares at Z* Get a wood stick already.

X - I'm pretty sure Murph started his New Year's celebration sometime this afternoon.
