Decent game tonight for the Hitmen. Sloppy at times, but did enough of the little things right to pull out the win.
Pogge was amazing, as usual, though I thought he went down way too early on the first goal, and got burned.
Dupont and Merkley were providing the energy for the entire team.
Ladd was useless as ever, and cost us the second goal with another stupid penalty. How glad are you you drafted this floater 4th overall now, Carolina? What a waste of a draft pick...
How Kohn got third star is beyond me. He was not impressive at all, imo.
Throughout much of the second period, I couldnt tell if we were playing a hockey team or a travelling circus. What a goon show from the Cougars. Cheap shots and attacks after the whistle on about five straight plays.
The "highlight" for Prince George was Petr Jelinek tossing a linseman to the ice to try and get at a Hitmen player. I absolutely cannot believe he was only given a 10-minute misconduct for that, rather than a gross misconduct, but I do expect the league will be having a look at that idiot's actions.
10,494 in attendance, boosting the Hitmen's North American attendance lead.
