Beauty stuff.<br /><br />BD: Nice work on this blog, it&#39;s a treat to read. I agree with your assessment of Penner. Been great to see what he&#39;s been doing this year but why wasn&#39;t it there before?<br /><br />Barnes said some similar things in the Journal today about coaching maybe being part of it but Penner&#39;s effort had to be considered part of the equation too. Penner was even quoted saying he wouldn&#39;t blame his past performance on one thing (i.e. MacT&#39;s coaching). But he&#39;s off to a great start and here&#39;s hoping he keeps it up!<br /><br />As for being cornered with homemade wine, well...I&#39;ve found you can make awful stuff truly enjoyable with a few ice cubes and some San Pellegrino ;)Hemmer'oidshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10980152084667851750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22154407.post-90047974585991327892009-10-20T15:00:33.382-04:002009-10-20T15:00:33.382-04:00Brad, if I&#39;m recalling the same play, it was Hemsky with the puck and Moreau charging the net for a rebound.spOILerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13356464233746019968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22154407.post-24719174846403811442009-10-20T02:09:56.509-04:002009-10-20T02:09:56.509-04:00I didn&#39;t catch the whole game tonight, the wife had the HD and I had the bedroom SD so I&#39;m not 100% sure of what I saw. <br />But there was one play that stood out. I don&#39;t know who it was. But there was 4 minutes and change left in the 2nd period.<br />2 Oilers. at the top of the circle. both in relatively close proximity. one took the puck. the other skated ahead of him right at Luongo (no &#39;a&#39; in luongo right?). Puck was shot by oiler A, rebound barely missed by oiler B who was right on top of the Goalie.<br />The beauty of it was it was intentional, guy looked up saw that his mate was picking up the loose puck and charged the net. Created a scoring chance, and better yet...well...it&#39;s going to be a fun season.<br />Are we going to drop 3+ in a row? yup, at some point. Are we going to fight for the playoffs? yup. Might not make it either.<br />But damn...I&#39;m saying &quot;we&quot; again instead of &quot;them f&amp;*(*n guys&quot;.<br />It&#39;s going to be fun. In fact, it already is.<br />That and I&#39;m up $20 on the Canucks play by play producer.Bradhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12500395052929639241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22154407.post-81973912363861393312009-10-19T16:19:46.397-04:002009-10-19T16:19:46.397-04:00<i>cock in hand</i><br /><br />I thought poultry were illegal within Toronto city limits, but if not, really you should keep them in the backyard instead of the living room.<br /><br />Unless of course you were in the midst of plucking said cock. Than the couch is totally understandable.<br /><br />...Hopefully Penner can keep this up. We&#39;ve always known of what he can do on a single night basis. But can he find the will and consistency to perform night in and night out?<br /><br />Can he find his inner Pat, as frequently as Pat has found his outer one?spOILerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13356464233746019968noreply@blogger.com
