That's Coaching!
Brian Elliott...excellant...just win baby!
First star, Coach Clouston, #22; #12; #11 adjustment.
Second star, Coach Carvel, for the Defenceman's meeting between periods one and two.
Third Star, Jason Spezza, for burying his scoring chance and carrying #41 all night.
4 lines...15 minutes each...5 centers what a luxury! Balance!
Alexei...PPPP...tonight PPG!
Think..."Killer instinct!"

It's "Showtime!"
Brian Elliott is the right choice.
If you give Kipper enough action,
he will give you one!
Watch Higgins! They are 5-0 vs us and have brought their Refs!
Seen a lot of goalies and a few goalie coaches...ya want to see a guy totally lose the net, ya get Galley and our new coach telling you, you are too deep in the net...so instead of coming out to the top of the crease you retreat to the goal line and try to find your bearings and starting point...you end up playing the whole game even deeper in the net!
Johny's 500th; nice career!
Robin will hit somebody late and dirty just to show us he doesn't miss Dion...so keep your head up!
Pic will be better tonight he's been told he is not expected to be "Karl!"
Anton...two words..."Rebound Control!"
These guys should really be called the Stampeders with all those Tranna guys stampeding to get out and go to Calgary.
Alfie it's time for you and Alexei to get the puck back...ya haven't had it much for awhile!
PS: It used to be ya went out West the game was a little different...tougher...Western Refs...Western calls...now the Canadian teams from the west come east, with their Refs and get the home call...What gives??

Who's coachin' our DEFENCE?
Ottawa's Doug Wilson, who looked like the "Devil" and turned out to be just a very wise man bearing the gift to us of "Team" work, told us today that the reason they (his Sharks) went out in the first round last year was they weren't ready physically or mentally...they were not fresh...Point, Game, Match!
So after the "Olympics" it's protect your most vulnerable assets...
1) One game at a time ya rest each of the most vulnerable defencemen, 1st game Volchy, 2nd game "Karl", 3rd game yes, even Phillippé, because he needs it as much as anyone...#14 and #39 no, because they need the work, Picard requires some ice also to stay sharp, love him or hate him he's all you got, Phillips is playing so well just leave him in the "zone"!
2) Play both goalies hot or not!
3) Alfie should not only get the odd practice off but also a couple of games down the stretch!
4) Play all 4 lines as balanced as possible...I'm talking 15 minutes each and in order to do that ya gotta have 3 players on the 4th line!
5) Don't stop coachin', I've noticed a way too much consultation amongst the coaching staff behind the bench and not enough player coach interaction, this is still a young defence in terms of time playing together out there.
6) Bryan if you want to really go deep, ya gotta get us one more good DEFENCEMAN just to pick the whole unit up and for insurance purposes!

OK! OK!
When Carks loses to Orr early, they get 5 Power Plays in a row to start the game and our "Super Hero" is sitting in Alfie's basement watchin' the game on TV...we're done "UNCLE!"
Why do they have to make the fix so obvious...not one of our penalties effected a scoring chance!
The Leafs are so bad you can set a team record in two games...someone has to call the Michelin Man and his equipment...the backside view is a joke, literally a cartoon!
Tough one "Ells!" but ya didn't get much help either!
OK, lets move on...Calgary next!

Tough Job!
Dion Phaneuf better not try to play 26 minutes against us tonight or Jean-Sébastien Giguere is going to see a lot of the new found accuracy of the Ottawa Senator's "high" shooting!
It's a very tough job to sit 7-8 games and come in and take the place of the "Messiah" Erik Special"K" Karlsson or as "Ells" calls him "Karl!"
"Karl" has simply been the "Nuts" for the whole team the last couple of games!
So we don't want a lot of "ragging" (coaching) on #45, Alexandre Picard tonight because there will be rust...you guys are not intelligent enough to "roll" or rotate your defencemen every few games so suffer the consequences in silence!
Alfie this has always been a giant stage for you the "Booing" and all...it's time to put them Tranna guys (Leaf fans) to sleep!
Jason...Giguere doesn't like your "on the goal line top corner wrister!" when he is down there on one knee hugging the post, it either hits him in the head or goes straight in!
Volchy...Kessel likes to approach the blue line laterally then dart inside you about the face off dot...it's time you gave him the lesson..."Your Lesson!"
Note: These guys don't break down early in the game (it's usually at the end of the game) so play 'em tough early!
Note II: Don't even like New Jersey but the Jersey system is on display this afternoon, when a Habs defenceman stays up on the wall Gionta is not in the middle of the neutral zone circling around, he's right in behind his man in the Defenceman's position...have noticed Gomez also...they didn't learn that in Montreal!

And another thing!
In the middle sixties I ran against a guy from Ottawa, Bob Fisher-Smith, "World's Fastest Human" and he was for one season. Over the 50 years his records were improved apon marginally until the introduction of Roids. The point here is "Oh, they are so much bigger and faster now!"
Late hits and late hitting...in the late sixties, my day to play, this full speed, 10 stride, 35 foot run @ a defenceman, 3 "steam boats" late, would have been greeted with a full tomahawk chop to the neck of the attacker, downing him face first on the ice!
Or this asshole, the attacker, was assessed 5 and a game for charging...there is no such thing as a charging call anymore!
It's no wonder we have these elbowings and head shots...and this size and speed thing is bullshit...pure bullshit!
I'm not saying that they aren't bigger and faster...it's this "the players today are so big and fast that they cannot control themselves" BULLSHIT to all 30 GMs!
