Hunwick on D and Montador as a wing?? Why not the other way around? And where the heck has Hnidy been, why doesn’t he get a nod every now and then?
On another note, AWESOME backhand goal by Ryder in the first tonight.
Point to Luch tonight in the early goings as well…
Update halfway through the second: another point for Luch who assisted on Krejci’s pretty goal.
That was a brutal fight in the first period. Both guys throwing lots of hard punches. The fight only stopped when the sweater went over Luch’s head. It seems that his helmet comes off too easy and he can never get the other guy’s off! Luch went down the tunnel “for repairs” as Jack Edwards said. It’s tough to say who really won the fight. Maybe bonus points for Luch for throwing and landing a blind punch or two with the sweater over his head?
Props for Axie for giving it to Ruutu a little bit. Honorable mention for Ryder’s HUGE hit on whoever he hit in the first as well.
Highly unlikely this game will get more polite before it’s over.
Waiting outside the players’ exit was interesting again Saturday. Thornton was in the passenger seat of a RI plated Jeep and did not stop. Ryder reluctantly stopped his Escalade to sign autographs. Savvy stopped his Land Rover, Sharpie in hand ready to go which I thought was awesome. Especially after a game like that one. Brick stopped to sign stuff, as did Bob Sweeney. Even Julien stopped his Land Rover as well on the way out.
Bitz proved why he is the AHL’er still on the big B’s roster tonight. A few hits, and of course two sweet goals.
Luch returned to form with some big hits. Some of the hits were HUGE. Axelsson also had a pretty big hit in the third that was a bit of a shock to me!
It was nice to see Bergeron get a real goal too. That was a sweet play! In the same line of thought, it was great to see Ryder get a goal after coming back.
And what’s an awesome B’s win without gloves getting dropped? You knew it was only a matter of time before Chucky mixed it up. He had some nice big hits and was all over the ice as he usually is.
As promised (even though it took me longer than I hoped) here are a few more photos from the Wives Carnival.
