-Dominant ST performance: 8-8 on the PK including 1:33 of 5-3, and they allowed some pathetically low number of shots, plus a shorty. 3 PP goals- the PP unit was making quick decisions and accurate passes, which prevented the D from rotating into position. It made a hell of a difference.
-Lydman sucks. The guy's good for at least two mental errors a game. One of Atlanta's few good scoring chances came when he tried to cut back in front of Miller with a Thrasher in his face. He also turned it over at the blue line.
-much to my surprise, Kotalik's return made a huge difference.
-Derrick Roy is no Briere or Drury but he just might be able to make up for some of the lost firepower.
-Having Connolly for the full season (fingers crossed) will help as well
-I have a feeling that some of the success was due to the fact that Atlanta blows, but **** it- for now, I'm just going to enjoy the annihilation.
-HDNet's coverage sucks. The video is fine but the announcers yap (at one point they spent like 10 min discussing the schedule and said nothing about the game), the clock didn't always start on the face off, and on some of the PP's they didn't even show the damn clock. Also, I think the announcers' hockey knowledge is lacking. The local guys in Buffalo do a much better job analyzing.
-Even though HDNet's coverage sucked, I'm glad I got to watch the game for once, especially in HD.

Lindy put the players through a rigourous practice leading up to this game tonight. By the way do you realize that we've only played 3 games while the rest of the league has played more games I hate The NHL and they're scheduling. Neale said something about this tonight in the broadcast.
