Alright enough is enough. I tend to lean on the superstitous side…so much so, that I will fall over any minute. I was afraid to write anything after that great opening weekend in Prague. Now, I break my silence! I figured, 2-0, they will probably let me down on the third game…nope; well maybe the 4th game….nay; perhaps the 5th game, surely it’ll happen the 5th game cause it’s against the Devils…what a way to let us down. NOPE. So here we are 5-0 in the young season, wondering when the other skate will drop. Let’s face it, did any of you think we would start 5-0…seriously…..no….I didn’t either. We have a much speedier team, and a power play that doesn’t bank on one guy (who was always in the slot, or on the half boards). Now that Jagr is gone, other teams don’t have to shut down one guy, but a WHOLE TEAM!!! I am pleasantly surprised so far…
On a sad note, Ranger prospect Cherapanov collapsed during a game and then passed away shortly thereafter…
