Never, I repeat, NEVER underestimate the importance of chemistry.? See what you are seeing tonight?? Prucha-Cullen-Ortmeyer have just amazing chemistry.? Who woulda thought replacing Shanahan with Ortmeyer would turn those 2 around (at least for 2 nights now).? As Jas from the HFBoards said, all we need is a second line center, and our forwards are set.

BTW, kudos to Renney for rewarding that line with more and more time out there.? Everytime those 3 are out there something has happened.

2 seconds.? Thats how close I came to exploding.? If I saw another 2 seconds of Marek Malik playing…..what can only be called an abortion of hockey in that first period, I probably would have spontaneously combusted.

Can I say how much I love our new 3rd line?? Orts with Cullen and Prucha really compliment each other well.? Of course it starts with Prucha finding his game overnight, but still, Ortmeyer actually has the speed to keep up with those 2 AND play both ends of the ice.? That line is a keeper if ive ever seen one.? Now all we need to do is find a damn center to play with Shanahan and maybe, just maybe, we can turn this season around.

Good game by the good guys so far, its been entertaining, and if not for some horrendous penalty killing, and some even more horrendous play by Marek Malik, I would even call it a GREAT period.

BTW, its tough not to feel bad for Shanahan, the guy is getting GLORIOUS scoring chances and is just unable to bury them like he was earlier in the year.? Its saying something when you can say without any doubt, that Shanahan should have had a hat trick in the first period.
