Well, we will agree to disagree on that point then.
After all it is mine own observation and you apparently look at things with a different set of eyes.
And to say that one opinion (yours) is...

What I've noticed:

1--Heatley plays a "soft" brand of hockey. Almost as if his linemates have to hand deliver him the puck on his stick and for him to have a clear line of site to the goal...

Agree with the bolded.
Don't get me wrong, I LIKE O'Reilly....but neither he by himself, Downie, Landeskog or even Varlamov (who has been playing pretty well given the circumstances, BTW) are going...

Well, I've got two to report on:

First up, the Tampa Bay Lightning.
I must say, overall, I am satisfied with the team, 6-4, 12 points, on top of their division.
Plus, marked improvement in...

Hah....nice!

Just want to wish every a safe and Happy Thanksgiving this weekend.

Hey, I know it is an American holiday, but even if you aren't American, or simply don't care to observe the holiday, you should...

Very physical game and another Crunch win...at home too.
From the looks of this game and the Hershey...

Syracuse pretty much taking it to Adirondack in this game, 5-2 in the late stages of the game as of this posting.

I agree, Brayden Schenn has been outstanding for the Phantoms....even in this...

Braden Holtby and his Bears were dismantled yesterday by the Syracuse Crunch, however, they seem to have gotten it together vs. the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins tonight.
4-1 final with Holtby...

Hershey Bears at Syracuse Crunch
Final: Crunch 6 , Bears 1

Unfortunately, didn't get a chance to watch this one, however, what a game by the Crunch!
6-1 blasting of...

Here is a video of Crunch players talking about how they must approach the game vs. the Hershey Bears tomorrow.

They've played well on the road, Syracuse has, but at home? Not so much...
...

Also, this was from the same game with the Geoffrion incident...it was a scrap, via fan cam, between Syracuse's Radko Gudas and Hamilton's Jarred Tinordi.
Tale of the tape
Gudas 6ft, 205....Tinordi...

If anyone is interested, I did post an update to Blake Geoffrion's condition on the Montreal Canadiens board.
I mention it here because it was Syracuse's JP Cote, as mentioned in my earlier post,...

This isn't a Montreal Canadien story per se, but it is a story about a player for their top farm team, Blake Geoffrion..

For those that don't know, Geoffrion's Bulldogs played the Syracuse Crunch...

Didn't get a chance to watch this one, so really the only thing I know from it is what showed up on the...

Thank you very much, Good Sir...

I will see what tidbits I can scrounge up on the Crunch leading up to their game vs. the Hershey Bears on Friday.

Of course, if anyone else has some interesting...

Ok...done and done...

Not the TB Lightning, but the next best thing...hehe

And by the way guys, I did watch these games via stream from firstrowsports.
Not always reliable streams, but it will do for now.

Oh, and americaspasttim , can I get a sticky? Pretty please?...

Syracuse Crunch at Hamilton Bulldogs (Playing at Montreal's Bell Centre)
Final: Crunch 4, Bulldogs 1

AHL.com's recap:...

The Crunch currently sit atop the East Division and are very much looking like the team that won the Calder Cup last season (known then as the Norfolk Admirals), and doing it with a mixture of skill,...

Hopefully this will spark a bit of dialect between posters regarding the Syracuse Crunch, the AHL, and even the Tampa Bay Lightning in general.

These are some of my postings from games I have...

Awesome guys.....
Hey, if you two don't mind...may I start a Syracuse Crunch Season thread?

I have some postings on it on another web site I frequent, but the hockey vibe on that site is kinda...
