Oh, Will.

I really hope that's how all my games with Will go. I doubled his time on attack and he couldn't handle my cycle. I never cycle, everyone knows how to defend against it and I don't know how to counter-attack. Apparently, though, Will doesn't. I'm excited for my next game with him.

Seriously? WTF

Jesse's most recent post hit the nail on the head when he talked about "the tide turning." I won my most recent game in a shoot-out and honestly I really did win my last game. They scored three own goals! Even Jesse, who was being a much better sport than I was, admitted that he competely did not derserve to win that game. I had 20 PIMs, and kept Jesse 0 for 10 on the powerplay and cycled it at will.

The tide is turning...

I can feel it. There's something in the air. The past few games I've had against Sam have been really intense. He's going to win again sometime soon. I'm going to try my hardest to make sure he doesn't, but I feel that it is inevitable.

Bring it on, Sam.

It's About Damn Time

Finally, I got myself a win!  Things finally went right for me; I got the lucky bounces and didn't take too many stupid penalties.  Before the game I had a meeting with myself to revamp my strategy.  I played a far more conservative, Jesse-esque defense where I stacked the blueline in lieu of aggressive forechecking.  I also cut back on the risky onetimers and cycled it more, which Jesse had a hard time defending.  It also helped that I was very comfortable with Atlanta; in other games I had often never played with that team before.  All and all I hope to build on this, Jesse says he thinks I'm gonna go on a roll with this newfound momentum.

Ari Needs a Better Goalie

I simply cannot explain these loses (in games 5 and 6).  I don't think I have ever been more thoroughly dominated in my NHL career.  I couldn't even win in whistle goals!  Needless to say, there will be no pucks on the ice at practice tomorrow.

Note: This post is regard to game 6 and 7.
