A couple of storied rivalries on the slate tonight as well as another game with major playoff implications in the Shack conference as the Gothic face off against the revived Ravens The Thieves are HUGE underdogs tonight as the Ghosts ice one of their better lineups while the Thieves will be one man short, and more importantly, without goalies.Cheap Thieves 12-13-0FORWARDS 1.

Huge game for me tonite as I need to beat the Rats...I have the better lineup for sure and should pull out a win..However you never know with this luckbox...Battaglia will score a hattrick on me

[DanielNegreanu]

If I win this game with no goalies it will be an absolute miracle.

Daniel it looks like the Mustangs have hit their stride and will distance themselves from the Thieves and Gothic soon...I see a long winning streak coming, along with a long Rats losing streak

[rinswun]

interesting, turco just got benched after 6.30 of the first after giving up two soft goals. thats real early!

[sleuthis]

Well at least we know Kyle can hit an empty net now.

I'm all for the long Rats losing streak, but your team isn't "designed" for long winning streaks.

This is actually pretty funny, Meittenen and Sydor just assisted on the Dallas goal too. Serge is wasting all these goals! Good for the power rankings though kiddo.

Actually its also good for all the sidebets...I dont think I had ever scored 5 goals by 9pm...And its only a 7 game nite...Watch out for Orpik..He might pop one in too...

Seriously, how in the world did you convince yourself not to play Nashville against one of the lowest scoring teams in the league? Not to mention, you have a goalie coming back from an injury in Toronto. That was just a bad decision.

Ok here is the deal with that Nashville is in Columbus..Last time they were in Columbus they gave up 4..then gave up 7 to Minnesota...Last 5 games Nashville GA is 16 goals...Leafs on the other hand..Last 5 games 10 goals and only 5 in the last 3 games...Plus the home and away factor..I thought it was an easy decision especially with Raycroft back

That's a minus not a plus. He was just hurt, you never know how he is going to play in his first game back.

7 Buffalo goals...Not a Pominville in the bunch...Must suck to have mediocre players

What a moron this one is. Pominville only has 11 goals so far this year, lol. Do your homework before you talk smack boy.
