X ways to win the Black and Blues division.

I - Congratulations to Jakub Kindl on his first NHL goal and first NHL point.  Just remember when you're telling your grandkids about it, it WAS a laser from the point.

II - Well, we finally played a first period.  Of course, I'm sure some Debbie Downers will harp on the fact that we didn't really play the second two.  Just can't please some people.

III - Thanks God Kronner is OK.  I had a minor heart attack during the game's opening shift.

IV - I can't really blame Jimmy on any of the 3 goals.  He was either hung out to dry (first 2) or it was a third rebound.

V - If you watch the replay of Bert's goal closely, you can see him order, and eat, a Jimmy John's sub before burying the puck.

VI - Why can't this Hudler show up every night?  He played a damn good game.

VII - I was about halfway through a "Dammit SHOOT Hudler" when Helm buried the winner.  I'm pretty sure we all were.

VIII - TJ Oshie is good.

IX - We need to hit the net.  We are sending too many shots wide that are just wrapping around the boards and headed right back out of the zone.  That's a momentum killer.

X - Saturday's On Tap: S.C.U.M* vs Little Sister.

* - Second City's Ultimate Masters
