Between the 1st and 2nd periods a guy will be shooting to win $1MM. Should be a fun night of hockey!

I just wish our team was less afraid to be physical. We've only got a couple who'll hit, most of our players will slow down when they get near the opposing player and try to poke check. They need to just knock the guy off the puck - that way next time, the guy might turn it over because he feels rushed. Preaching to the choir, I'm sure. :-) Yeah, I getcha.

As much as I'd like to see it, Skoula ain't gonna be a physical presence. That's not how he is wired. heather- I don’t disagree with your Skoula assessment, but by the time these guys reach the NHL- they are what they are.
