Pre-season Day 5 results

[JiriHrdina]

Before we get to the results I wanted to note that we haven't received lines for any of the pre-season games for the Leafs of Avs, which I find very puzzling.

GMs of both teams - please check in and let us know if you are still playing this game. Sending in lines is an absolute requirement so we'd like to know what's up. Thanks

Onto the results: GO SHARKS!

Preseason Game Two: Vancouver 2, LA 4

Game story:
It's true. Your goalie sometimes makes you or breaks you. Starter Biron had a rough night and cost his team the game. Coach Tippett was furious at the end of the game, albeit a preseason game. He avoided all reporters and had a closed door meeting with Biron immediately after the game.

The Canucks camp is very silent at this time. Are changes imminent? Stay tuned.

Preseason record: 1-1

THRASHERS LOSE FIRST GAME OF THEIR PRESEASON TO ISLANDERS

The Atlanta Thrashers lost their first game of the preseason Saturday Afternoon to the New York Islanders 4-3. The story of the game for the Thrashers was not the game itself but the controversy prior to the game. Ilya Bryzgalov was expected to start in goal for the Thrashers but a miscue in the lineup card made him ineligible and Marc Denis had to start on his expected day off.

"That was our mistake. It was a miscue on the part of our coaching staff, Ilya was supposed to start tonight. We definately had a lineup though still that should have won this game." - GM Sutaria

As for the game itself, the #1 line for the Thrashers had an off game defensively and were a combined -5 on the night.

"I think that was the key for the night in terms of the score. Offensively we played fine and had 35 shots and scored 3 goals. Defensively our top line didn't come back effectively enough and they know they have to be better defensively.

A positive was the play of our new addition Alexei Ponikarovsky. He played a great game and we are looking forward to his season this year."

Power Play's:

Atlanta 0 for 2
NYI 0 for 4

Shots on Goal:

Atlanta 35
NYI 27

3 Stars:

1st - Ryan Getzlaf (Islanders)
2nd - Steve Shields (Islanders)
3rd - Alexei Ponikarovsky (Thrashers)

well Sabres lose a close one. two games against tough conference rivals, both decided by one goal. Sabres are showing they are competitive, but lacking a certain je ne sais quoi as it were....

I've been trying to sort out some problems with the GM Editor. I had to download everything onto a new computer. When I save the lines, the file appears where I saved it but is 0 KB and won't allow me to open it.
Has anyone encountered this?

^^^Bump. Has anyone else experienced the problem Jam is having?

It's on a new computer if that helps. At any rate, I'm working on it and will find alternative arrangements for now to get my lines in. Thanks for the patience.
