[Enoch Root]

bummer

[Drury18]

So happy Rockford learned to score in the shootout. 1/9.

The point at least puts the Flames only a single point out of the playoffs, BUT we still have 2 games in hand on Hamilton.

[Enoch Root]

yeah, nothing wrong with getting a point on the road against a really good team

Game Highlights:

I really wish they'd send Poirier back so he can help this team out.

Well, they did. He, along with a number of other newcomers, could be in the lineup for the Flames tonight. We now carry 16 Forwards (14 available with McGrattan's leave and VanBrabant's injury), 10 Defence (9 available with Culkin injury) and 4 goalies (3 available with Ortio's injury)

Coming into today's game, the Flames are 1 point behind Hamilton for the last playoff spot. Hamilton is also playing tonight, but they have a tougher opponent in San Antonio. With a win and a Bulldogs loss, we are in the playoffs.

[Racki]

any word on whether or not Poirier made it back to Glens Falls in time for tonight's game?

[Drury18]

They are actually in Rockford so there isn't any updates from the Addy beat writer about those things.

That being said, would be surprised if he wasn't in the lineup tonight.

I imagine he would have been able to get from Calgary to out by Chicago without much problem

[sureLoss]

Yes, Poirier has made it.

Yevenko did not dress (not surprising though as he is fresh out of college).

[sureLoss]

Sieloff with a huge big open ice hit and forced to drop the gloves after making it.

It cheeses me off that Sieloff has to fight every rippin' time he hits someone. When the heck did this become the unwritten rule of hockey? I get it if someone runs a star. But every damn hit?

[Roof-Daddy]

Sieloff still lined up as a forward?

...and did he win his fight? Drury was saying he could really chuck em pretty good actually.

[Drury18]

Just checking scores quick and looks like 0-3 Rockford at the end of the 2nd

No, I'm only seeing 6 defence so he's a defenceman.

This is his fight from Wednesday:

He's getting passed on the depth chart due to injuries. I think this is his way of making himself known and fight (literally) for ice time. This is better then floating around when he did get ice time.
