Is MacNeil injured or a health scratch? I get wanting to play Bilecki, although he and Dirracolo had a couple rough shifts.

Ahokas has my pick for best coach in the league. What he has done back to back years is nothing short of spectacular. I'm not sure he's long for this league.

Who knows if you guys keep it up, but you've already surprised most, especially myself. Crazy what team cohesion & team buy-in for a great coach can do.

Nice comeback win this afternoon. Good to bank some points early in the season. Easy to see some of these wins becoming losses in the second half if a couple trades are made.

I have said it before, but the '07s (and Ellinas) are learning that it is tougher to perform when you are the guy that the other team is focusing on. Not a bad thing for them to start learning that this year. I thought the bottom 6 looked good both games. D was a little more sketchy. I thought Ando was a little sloppy on Friday (maybe trying to do too much) but was very effective today. He looked like the type of dependable defenseman contenders should be interested in adding!

Nice to see another 3rd line goal and good to see Mercer get his first of the season. He deserves it. It is a little disconcerting to see that there isn't much of a difference between him and Grisolia, given that they got Gris for the proverbial bag of pucks. Take that as a positive or negative, I guess.

Going to be fun watching the two goalies from todays game battle it out over the next 3+ years! Neither played like rookies with minimal starts.

If I was on the coaching staff, I give Campbell the day off tomorrow. Not because he played poorly or anything, but he had the shot block in the mid-section and got hit hard shortly after returning. Its a long season, give him a little R&R, and maybe give Schneider a chance at some minutes. Two wins in the first two games of a 3 in 3, so you ae playing with house money anyway.
