Nice work, mikster....

Any Ron Flockhart reference is a good one. I remember "Flockey Hockey" very fondly.

I was in Italy in October/November 2004 for 2 weeks. What a great country! I wish I had seen Turin, but I spent a few days in Rome, Florence, Venice, and Positano. The people were great, except during the the US Presidential elections, where some Italians saw fit to give me crap, but I ignored it. Florence and Venice were just tremendous. Venice is either trashy or charming, depending on your point of view (I found it charming). Enjoy the wine! Even the cheap wine in Italy tastes good....

McCabe all in all had a below average day. But I think the attention were giving him is probably not fair, if we looked at Redden or Pronger through a magnifying glass, we would probably find similar problems. I can come up with a couple of plays where each of those guys had some major brain cramps. Penalties aside, cause like you said, their gonna happen, especially for defenseman, the only thing I really didn’t like was how McCABE seemed confused on his entrance into the play from the penalty box, but that in of itself was not the reason Germany scored, Canada was chasing on a 5 on 3, which you can’t do, cause it will lead to wide open areas. Perhaps that could be a reason for McCabe’s brain cramp. But I still have to disagree with you about that pass, lol. If were talking about the same one, the pass was not a big deal at all, cause Redden received it, and had some time to decide what he wanted to do with it, the only play where a pass was ill advised was from Foote, when he passed across ice, and the other defender had to rush forward to receive the pass.

we may luck out and be on the powerplay the whole game and have our first unit score all the goals

that way mccabe wont step back onto the ice.

ya, and he fired about 2 one timers over the net, if he cant hit the f***ing net, and thats ur bread n butter, get him the hell away from the ice.

And the pass to Redden was brutal, Redden was covered, and Mccabe didnt even look. again, hes gonna get burned like that against n e other team. He had a good first period, then he started to use his brain.

Scrap that little note above, McCabe needs to watch the rest of the game, he has absolutely no confidence. Ill advised penalty on the German player.
