[Kettle]

dont worry dude...we didnt get the game on down here either,kinda sucks especially being division rivals

its just frustrating and confusing. they aired the first two games on Fox Sports Carolinas. then last night the same channel was Fox sports South. I wish they'd make up their mind which channel I get.

I looked it up last night, according to Fox Florida and SunSports they are showing 70 out of 82 games,the reason being because of the Magic play on some of the same days...Ill tell you,more people in Tampa care about hockey than damn basketball

Well 1-2-0 isn't the best start in the world, but all things considered, I'll take it.

Wardo seems to be back on track from last season after the TB game last night. I'd still like to see more scoring from this team but with Pitkanen leaving the game after the 1st, and Cole being out, we're just going to have to be a defensive team for a while.

I know that Mo and JR don't want to rush up our guys like Sutter and Boychuck, but what the hell is Tim Conboy going to add to this team? A mediocre fighter isn't going to help this team much, unless it's going to stop Gleason from risking taking instigators, and the subsequent 10 minute misconduct.

We need some punch and I'd like to see what these young guys got. Sutter did extremely well during the off-season and such, and barely missed out on the big squad. Why not give this kid a go again? He played some games here last year.

Very happy with the fact that we never let off. When we scored, we just kept scoring. We need that never quit mentality regardless of the situation. Up by 3? Keep playing. Down by 3? Keep playing. It's good to see that mental toughness.

Now both of our wins were against teams who are likely not going to the playoffs, but a division win is a division win. And we are hanging in there. We are going to have a tough division this year. We need every win we can get.

[God]

We are terrible.

[Freeze]

That was a pretty good game tonight even if it didn't end well.

[Mesmer]

Good to see this team pull it out in regulation and land the point. Sucks that we lost in the shootout, but overall I can't complain.

I thought the effort was there tonight a lot more than it was against Tampa.

[Acewalker]

I really enjoyed watching this game, though it's annoying how many Pittsburgh "fans" are around here. Either way, we won that game if Cullen's shot was 1 inch lower.

Not a good start to the season at all. I expect us to go 2-1 this week though. We are facing a bad Islanders team and a bad Wild team. In between those two, we are facing a very good team in Colorado, who is on a 4 game win streak, and Milan Hejduk is playing very well.

[Mesmer]

Islanders aren't a good team, but they are young and have lost 3 in OT. They're hungry for that first one. I hope it isn't us. The Wild haven't found a groove offensively, but yes Colorado is hot.

The defense on this team is starting to get it together, and Ward is really standing on his head for us. But we have got to finish chances and start putting pucks in the net. You can't win scoring 0 goals, obviously. But in this league if you're only getting 1 or 2, it's really hard to win.

This team is badly in need of a pure goal scorer. Staal has trouble without Colesy out there with him.

[17+89=6]

I hope we can get back on the winning track tonight. It'd be good to get up early on a young team and make them play from behind. I'm interested in seeing Tavares play. Kid has had a pretty good start to his rookie year with 7 points in 6 games.

[God]

Yup, there first one is us.

[Gman was right]

This is not a good team right now.

Great comeback at the end of the 3rd. Made me think we'd carry it over and get the win. Very disappointing loss.
