I've been tracking that, and thinking about posting on it. I'll do that shortly.
As for tonights game, I think the greatest shock is that Derek Herman didnt screw one team over. He didnt call any phantom penalties, and while he missed a lot of calls as usual, it was the actual players who determined the outcome.
The first line was pretty much useless. The only thing Ladd did of note is take another stupid penalty. Getzlaf didnt do much either.
Landolt's goal was an absolute rocket from the slot. Beachemin didnt have a prayer. The winning goal was lucky, deflection off a skate and in.
The offense didnt show up for either the first or third periods, but dominated the second. I can only imagine what the Hitmen could do if they could do that an entire game.
Spence played solid. I think he only faced one shot in the second, but it was a doozy. He really needs to learn WHL rules though, as he cost the Hitmen four icing calls by leaving his crease. I imagine Kisio or Evanson will chat with him about that.
Overall, not a bad game. Yacboski won his fight with Schafer pretty handily.
