Brendan Shanahan was asked this question:
Is hockey hard? I don’t know, you tell me. We need to have the strength and power of a football player, the stamina of a marathon runner, and the concentration of a brain surgeon. But we need to put all this together while moving at high speeds on a cold and slippery surface while 5 other guys use clubs to try and kill us. Oh yeah, did I mention that this whole time we’re standing on blades 1/8 of an inch thick? Is ice hockey hard? I don’t know, you tell me. Next
HABS 7 WINGS 2
The Frenchmen send a big time message to the Wings in this rout! Billy Reiss with the trick! Singles for brother Joey(Also 3 Helpers), and subs Dave Bergman and Hank Richardson. Pat “The Beast” Wosek with a huge 4 helper game! Goalie Kris Arthur was outstanding in nets! Zach Wagner and Jim Roble with power play goals for the Wings.
SHARKS 3 HAWKS 3
A well played contest, as Kenny Kluz ties the game up midway through the final period for the Sharks. Dave Rupprecht and Craig Bastuba with first period Shark goals. Line-mates Anthony Amato and the Robs – Olmstead and Rowling score for the Hawks. Both goalies – Joe Polizzi of the Sharks and Billy Papciak of the Hawks with solid games between the pipes.
FLYERS 4 BRUINS 2
Returning from an extended DL stint due to a lower body injury – Flyers center Trevor Wrobel doesn’t miss a beat with a two goal game! Rob Montgomery and Scott Kostesich with singles. Doing what he does best – Nick Piccolo with the Bruins first goal. Ward Peterson with the Bruins second marker.
HABS 5 SHARKS 2
Clicking on all cylinders today – totaling 12 goals in today’s DH – the Habs defeat the Sharks. Deuces wild for subs Hank Richardson and Dave Bergman. Sniper Billy Reiss scores again. Once again – goalie Kris “King” Arthur shined in nets! Mike Nalepa and Waz Sarweh were the Sharks marksman.
WINGS 5 BRUINS 4
An up and down wide open affair, as center Zach Wagner records the trick and Jim Roble the deuce for the Wings. I hate to be repetitive – but Nick Piccolo with the Bruins first goal! It’s pretty amazing what this guy does! Mark Micolo, Ward Peterson and sub Mike Garlick also tally for the basement Bruins, who are now 0-7 in their past seven games.
HAWKS 6 FLYERS 3
Lots of subplots this game! Early in the game, Captain Trevor Wrobel skates by the Hawks bench and calls them out as a “Shitty” team! This lit a fire under the Hawks, as the OAR line, comprised of Robbie Olmstead(3 Helpers), Anthony Amato(1 & 4) and Rob Rowing(4 & 2) combine for 14 points and wreck carnage on the Flyers! Don’t awake a sleeping giant – nice six point game Rob! Trevor Wrobel, Rob Montgomery and sub Brian Barker score for the irritated Flyers. The stunned and speechless Trevor Wrobel and Ryan Boyette refuse a Trevor Thompson post game interview request! “Angry” Joe skates off the ice mumbling something about hockey decorum.
