HOWL!
2-1 OT win for 'Yotes in St Louis.
Handzus gives St Louis the blues. After his first game as GM, Halifax Drunk is off to a good start. In a surprise move Curtis Joseph got the start and proved his worth (possible trade bait) and grabbed the 2nd star with 20 saves.
With Ovechkin in the box in OT for hooking Handzus undressed Hasek in a move that will be on highlight reels for years to come.
"I've seen him practice that move, but I can believe he pulled off a double spinorama, between the legs, one handed, top shelf shot." - Chris Neil.
Alexi Ponikrovsky stepped up to the plate after GM Drunks challenge yesterday about "No wimpy players" with a gritty goal in the 2nd period. He took a cross check to the back of the head from Crosby and on the delayed penalty scored short side to tie the game at one.
The Coyote players were trying to make a good first impression and stepped it up nicely sweeping the 3 star selections.
