Go Spits Go!!! I believe!
First period: Two early chances for Taylor Hall, then a frantic series in the Windsor zone at about the 3 minute mark in which Engelage is down and out and Adam Henrique collapses to the front of his goal (I think) and makes a terrific block […]

First period: The best early scoring chance went to Rimouski; Spitfires goaltender Andrew Engelage stood tall on a long two on one and made an excellent save with his right arm on a quick wrist shot. There was another amusing moment when Windsor’s Adam Henrique finished his […]
By junior on May 19, 2009, at 10:28 pm Go Spits Go!! I still believe…!!
This tournament owes us one, dammit. I still believe.
After dropping round robin games to Drummondville and Rimouski to kick off the tournament, the Spitfires faced off tonight against a Kelowna Rockets team that had already clinched a berth in the Tournament Final on Sunday. Whereas the Spits […]
By junior on May 18, 2009, at 10:29 pm I promise I will post something about last weekend’s bizarre gardening accident soon; I really did mean to put the finishing touches on the tale today, but – for reasons that will become apparent when you read the story – I have been taking some pain killers that make a nice sunny day a sort […]
By junior on May 17, 2009, at 5:13 pm NB: I booted up the computer and sat transfixed during the first six minutes or so of this game. The action was back and forth like crazy to begin with. The first couple of paragraphs are a summary of what happened to that point; thereafter, the time-denoted comments came as the game unfolded.
First period:

By junior on May 16, 2009, at 6:11 pm NB: I really started live-blogging a few minutes into the 2nd period; the bits about the first period were notes I was keeping to do a recap,.
Go Spits Go!!
Pre-game ceremonies underway: if the PA announcer doesn’t pick up the pace, Windsor’s Memorial Cup participation drought could easily stretch from 21 to […]
By junior on May 15, 2009, at 3:47 pm I think the first virtue is to restrain the tongue: he approaches nearest to the Gods, who knows how to be silent, even though he is in the right.

It ain’t a bad plan to keep still occasionally even when you know what you’re talking about.

By junior on May 13, 2009, at 10:24 pm “Ovechkin, unassisted”; in addition to being the offical scorer’s line on Washington’s first goal tonight, those two words provide a useful guide to most of the series between the Capitals and Penguins.
The NHL zebras aren't the problem, Caps fans
As I write this, the third period is winding down and running out the […]

Management has resolved to ensure that the commercial content is tasteful, minimally intrusive and discreet.

By junior on May 11, 2009, at 10:50 pm Wow, Washington and Pittsburgh served up another beauty tonight. At one point in the third period, I recall Gord Miller telling me that there had been four lead changes in the game.
The final two minutes of the 3rd were beyond belief. The slashing penalty that caused all of this called at the blueline […]
