Rostislav Olesz is finally back in the lineup (hence the Repik demotion), while defensman Bryan McCabe remains out until Tuesday most likely.

Go Cats.

 

Poll
Yes, he's an expensive seatcover, but is Rusty Olesz's return to the lineup a smart alternative to keeping Michal Repik with the big club?
Yes...Olesz still has the edge in experience during a tough stretch for the Cats

No...go with the producer. Repik was hot, baby.

Technology works!

… Even in the cheap seats up here in 422

by OldDave on Mar 14, 2009 6:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

I’d rather be up in my regular, higher up seats in 130. But I’m here to see them kick some ass and shake off the road trip.

I’ll be the last one to say Weisser shoulda passed. Good to see everyone shooting

Hi Dave!!!

I was supposed to be at the game, but had to have my car worked on today & Nick was too pooped from the beach

by CLG_74 on Mar 14, 2009 7:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

?

What this beach of which you speak?

by OldDave on Mar 14, 2009 7:38 PM EDT up reply actions  

LOL Lake Worth beach

by CLG_74 on Mar 14, 2009 7:38 PM EDT up reply actions  

I don’t think I’ve seen the ocean this year…. (sigh)

by OldDave on Mar 14, 2009 7:40 PM EDT up reply actions  

Maybe if he gets benched again, we can meet The Beach at the beach ;)

by CLG_74 on Mar 14, 2009 7:43 PM EDT up reply actions  

Somehow I didn’t believe Frolik would be upstaged by Repik for long

by Donny Rivette on Mar 14, 2009 7:37 PM EDT reply actions  

And if anyone wants a quick seat upgrade most of row 8, sec133 is empty.

by coasterg on Mar 14, 2009 7:46 PM EDT reply actions  

If you managed to get down here I’m the big guy in a white Panthers polo. The whole section showed during the second period, typical S Florida.

by coasterg on Mar 14, 2009 8:18 PM EDT up reply actions  

more like they showed up from the upper level lol

by CLG_74 on Mar 14, 2009 8:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

Just kidding, Coast…stuck in North Palm Beach for the evening. Big thanks tho!

by Donny Rivette on Mar 14, 2009 8:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

Ramo is the ONLY reason this game is not yet a 5-0 blowout. Kudos.

by Donny Rivette on Mar 14, 2009 8:05 PM EDT reply actions  

It’s no longer “sponsered” at least lol

When some company quits paying it

… This has been simple answers for simple questions

by OldDave on Mar 14, 2009 8:26 PM EDT up reply actions  

yup they went from icing being sponsored to penalty calls being sponsored

by CLG_74 on Mar 14, 2009 8:27 PM EDT up reply actions  

Simple answers? Try explaining “icing” to a non-fan…Brutal. Like you’ve got three heads.

by Donny Rivette on Mar 14, 2009 8:27 PM EDT up reply actions  

… I might have posted quicker but we were busy hi 5ing

by OldDave on Mar 14, 2009 8:33 PM EDT up reply actions

by CLG_74 on Mar 14, 2009 8:33 PM EDT reply actions  

that’s why we got him originally….was because of the PP

by CLG_74 on Mar 14, 2009 8:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

Hey Whale

You guys can let Tampa Bay get an overtime point if you want. We could use the leeway.

we went from playoff run in March to a slump in March :(

by CLG_74 on Mar 14, 2009 9:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

Falling apart, kids. Can’t win shootouts. Can’t beat “lesser” teams. Not good at all.

by Donny Rivette on Mar 14, 2009 9:47 PM EDT reply actions  

Still agree with keeping Bouwmeester, but it hasn’t panned out.

by Donny Rivette on Mar 14, 2009 9:48 PM EDT reply actions  

Off to handle the post-apocalyptic Litter Box Liners. Be back soon, folks…

by Donny Rivette on Mar 14, 2009 9:49 PM EDT reply actions

Both Buffalo & Carolina lost in SO as well…..at least we have that…..
