I Can See the Future

My ability to look into the future is getting SCARY!
First - I talked about needing the D-men to step up & score and then Witt nets a pair and Hillen, Streit, and Sutton start collecting points. Then I said Bergie needs to step up his game and all of a sudden he finds his name on the scoring sheet and handful of times over the past week and a half.

Last post I talked about how Tambellini & Bailey need and deserve more ice time while Sim should take a seat. Next thing you know, Tambs nets another one and Bailey has points in 4 of the last 5 games. Like I said, these guys need to PLAY and play more than 8-10 minutes a game.

They are still having a hard time holding 3rd period leads; however, they have started to show improvement. They have made significant improvement over last year in their ability to collect points - but they still have a way to go.

Rollie did another nice job in net and I think its becoming obvious that he is now (or should be) the number one and Biron is number two (and on occasion has played like number two). It will be interesting to see what happens when Ricky comes back. He participated in a full practice this week so his return appears to be right around the corner.

One last thing -- no doubts anymore - Tavares belongs at this level and continues to produce.

Next up: As promised, first quarter report card.
