From across the ice. Welcome to the lastest installment of Ted Nolan Coaches the Sound Tigers. In tonight's episode Joey MacDonald gts to see the whites of Patrick Elias eyes as he tries to score on him from 4 feet away. Also Spiller plays Ironman as he plays his 8th game in 10 nights. I think he's going to sleep for days when this is done.
But Joey Mac has surprised the crowd by being brilliant in net stopping everything that has come his way while Comeau was in the box during the 5 minute mark of the first. SOG now Isles 7 and Devils 11, and 8 of those were in a period of about 45 seconds. Just BRILLIANT!
Fans are going nuts with another penalty call against the Islanders. I think they are determined to make Joey work for his money tonight.
Joe Vasicek gets the first goal, but Elias evens it up at the beginning of the second.
Matt Keith is making his big debut wearing #27 and Drew Fata is back as #49. Aaron Johnson is out of the line up today with some sort of slight injury. But truthfully... what does it matter at this point. Besides, I'm sort of tired of watching him constantly end up on his rear.
12:04 and the Devils take an unusual too many men penalty. I guess they're a little confused by all the kids on the ice. John Madden swept up past the bench and right over to MacDonald who had to make one save to his left and one to his right. But he did it.
But they're holding them off pretty well considering.
So the gate 1 crowd was a little chatty about it being the second to the last game. We're still all smiles being here, but we know it will be a long off season. Even Dina stopped to chat with me mentioning she couldn't believe it's almost over. She is truly a hockey fan and can't stand the off season "It feels like it lasts 7 years! And you'd think I have inside information. But I'm like everyone else, searching on line for when the schedule comes out so I know when it all starts over!" Puck Junkies Unite! And once again, I will tell you, the number of passionate female fans of this game will outnumber the male fans in the next decade. Mark my words. Besides..... we breed more of them.
The SOG are very lopsided, 18 - 38, and yet we're still in a 1 - 1 game. Have to say this is a great audition for the new kids, even if their minutes are limited, it's a great experience.
Even though crowd is a little sparse (even though the seats are SOLD) the fans that are here are enjoying the effort and the fast pace. Why not? Enjoy what we have, make the most of it, and look to the future.
The Blog Box is full tonight, which is a welcome change for a Tuesday night game. It's rare that we are all here like this, clicking away.
