Uh oh, Mustangs aren't going to be happy about this one... looks like Pronger just got hurt.

Its all good..I have pencilled this game as a loss with the weak lineup...Pronger should be ok

What do you think the odds are that your record mirrors what it did in the first half of the season? You are headed towards a much tougher second part of the season. This is your FIRST no goalie game... I've had 5. Also, you'll get yours when you play the M's, Dawgs, and the Swackers. A playoff birth for you is still unlikely despite your record.

Daniel,

Just look at the core numbers..I have more GF than you...117-103 Plus Minus is much better 101.5 t0 88.5 My forwards are better by 9 goals..defence is pretty much even and my goalies are better....so break it all down and I have the better team...I am running good lately however in the first 15 games of the season I was REALLY unlucky...It gonna be a fight for the playoffs however looking at the numbers you have to admit my team this year is better than yours

Both of our teams suck miserably in comparison to the elite teams in the league. At the moment your team has recently started to score more and mine has quited down. Two weeks ago we were even in every category. As for your goalies being better than mine, that is not true. I've had 5 no goalie games. Check the NHL numbers of my goalies compared to yours.

By the way, Gagne just said good night and don't let the door hit you on your way out.

That Gagne goal might seal it...Man last game Cleary had a hat trick...and San jose gave up 8 goals...I could of used one of those results tonight...

Christmas is officially over my friend.

Actually not for me...Being an Armenian Orthodox we celebrate Christmas on Jan 6...

so lets hope

Mustangs refuse to die..as a goal by Chucky Kobasew keeps us alive..Come on boys..lets get a few more

I grew up as a Romanain Orthodox Christian as well. Then I looked into it a litle bit and realized that it doesn't coincide with my beliefs of what Jesus taught us. So I became a Christian, without the label.

Thats a whole discussion on its own..

NOw back to the game...Our chances are slim..but they are still there

My farm team is so sick... defenseman Alex Gologiski is now tied for the league lead in scoring in the entire nation. Not just among defenseman, but PERIOD!

Here we come...Assist by tanabe...Lets go Dallas

Joe Thornton has 2 assists btw

we need 3 dallas goals and a Kobasew goal assisted by Regehr...

sounds easy enough..come on boys

we need a chat room in this place

I actually prefer it this way. It's easier to keep up with the chat.

I am leaving soon for a party..need to finish on a strong note...Chat room would be cool

The division games all look pretty much set in stone. Will be interesting to see how the Ravens and the Killers did:

AHL EAST (most likely)

Rug Rats (31-13-2)= 64
Mustangs (25-18-3)= 53
Ghosts of Elvis (24-22-0)= 48
Cheap Thieves (22-24-0)= 44
Canadian Gothic (20-25-1)= 41

It looks like thats the results...barring a miracle..

Hope everyone has a great new year...and we will see you in 2007

trouble for Serge -

Chris Pronger - broken left foot

Thats nice...the only way to keep us down is cheer for broken foots...

we will persevere

Mark my words: the second half of the season will be torture for you. So much so that you will miss the playoffs.
