The boys play their 6th game tonight against the Florida Panthers. The Panthers have Luongo who is generally a great goalie. He is probably coming off one of his worst appearances, giving up 3 goals in just over one period and being pulled from the game against Boston on Thursday. He will definitely be looking to prove something tonight.
There is a long way to go in the season of 82 games, but the boys have started out great, standing 4-1 as of now. The won outright against the NY Islanders and Boston Bruins. They won in overtime against the Pittsburgh Penguins and in a shootout against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Their loss came at the hands of the Ottawa Senators, one of the favorites to win it all this year.
Miller has started all games to date and has a 2.91 goals against. He has looked extremely good and has definitely matured and grown since the last NHL season. Our goal scorers are not any surprise. Briere has 3 goals, 2 assists. Afinogenov has 3 goals and no assists as of yet. Gaustad has 2 goals and 2 assists. Nice addition from the Amerks, he plays with great intensity and looks good out there! Dumont has 2 goals and 1 assist. Vanek has 4 assists, and has got to break out soon with goals. He is phenomenal! The strength he shows when carrying the puck is something this team has missed in the past few years. He did score the winning goal in the shootout in TB, but the shoot out numbers do not go into the players stats. With the number of posts he has hit and all the close calls he is bound to have a scoring run soon. Starting tonight? Ah, that would be nice.
If anyone cares, Satan has 2 goals and 1 assist, Zhitnik 1 goal and 1 assist withthe Islanders.
Lets go boys bring home win #5!!
