Oh yeah like comparing him to pirri. I remember when we drafted him people were upset. Don't act like I'm crazy

People wanted Fabbri/Kapanen.

 

[Bubba88]

It was more that everybody wanted Kapanen more than anything else. Like it was a no Brainer to get him.

Fabbri was wanted too.

Schmaltz still isn't a bad pick or Close to this.

 

[Taze em]

Schmaltz is already a better pick than Tuch and Milano, IMO.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Kapanen also hasn't done anything to say he was a better pick than Schmaltz either.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Hartman from Gus!
Hogs strike first in Texas 1-0!

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Texas answers back as Gotovets gets pulled out of position and the only guy defending the open side of the net is PC Labrie.

1-1 still in the first

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Pokka gets a puck chipped over him and Texas sprung on a breakaway - but the puck rolls too fast and Leighton able to get to it first

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Bickell coughs up puck in D-zone leads to some pressure from Texas. Sved gets his stick broken in the corner. Chaos ensues - Leighton gets the stoppage.



Earlier in the period, JMo has a NIFTY move from the left wing and dangled everyone but JUST couldnt raise it over Jack Campbell's pads.
19 for Hogs lookin like 19 for Hawks

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Rasmussen loses FO, Gotovets bad at D again - Leighton gives up a WEAK 5-hole goal.
2-1 Hogs trailing.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Rasmussen Penalty
Leighton makes huge save
Paille gets SH chance - stopped

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

First period
The good:
Danault winning FO's in his first game back
Hartman and Gus noticeable.
Hino speeding around
Sved getting physical again (Message from Hawks brass?)
Morin
Rasmussen not afraid to battle on the boards - even though he isn't winning very many battles

The bad:
Gotovets
Pokka not really doing anything. This isn't necessarily bad because he also hasn't really messed up.
Why is Jake Dowell on this team?
Stephen Johns not being a Hog anymore

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Leighton starts the second by making a diving poke check save on a partial break.
Hogs don't have much of an answer for Texas speed. Haven't all season, really.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Danault not shying away from contact. Taking hits to make plays. Good to see in his first game back from injury.

... then he DRAWS a penalty after getting away with a pretty blatant jersey grab

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

BICKELL with a nifty goal!!!! Picks a corner with his writster.
PP goal for #44

Tied 2-2 early in the 2nd

Edit: JMo and Gus credited with the a's. 2nd point on the night for Gus!

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

GARRETT ROSS SHORT SIDE SNIIIIIIIIPE.
Right under the glove of Campbell!!!!

Icehogs lead 3-2!!! 2 goals in less than a minute for the pigs

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

DeSousa is a freakin firecraker.
Hits everything in sight. Was trying to fight everyone in the last game I went to.


Hogs to the PK Gus takes a penalty on a weak call


Bad kill attempt for the pigs.

[CourtneyDagger50]

Man, Gotovets is bad tonight.
Hogs trail 4-3

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Campbell turns puck over to Hartman behind the net. Hartman banks puck off Campbell's skate into the net for a TIE GAME!!!!!
Hartman with 2 on the night
4-4 :30 left in the 2nd

 

[Hawkaholic]

Danault not shying away from contact. Taking hits to make plays. Good to see in his first game back from injury.

... then he DRAWS a penalty after getting away with a pretty blatant jersey grab

Good to hear, keep em comin.
