Pickard was great; however, the team played a pretty good defense. I'm not a regular like some of you people but I thought it was a total team effort despite being down in shots early in the game. Those early shots by Moose were not quality shots and Pickard had no problem defending them. The team hung on at the end when needed, did what they needed and that was a plus. Great showing by the birds. Forget the clear high stick or cross check by the Moose in the first period that happened right in front of the official. Despite that lack of call, in my opinion, the officiating was terrible; especially the double minor on Deagle for roughing...the first penatly shouldn't have been called but a double? The league needs to review that call and hold the officials accountable. Other than that, the team held tough and Pickard received a shutout against a tough team. Great night! Go T-birds....next time...the neighborhood dads are taking the kids.Deannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-45661183090989699462011-12-31T09:26:49.411-08:002011-12-31T09:26:49.411-08:00Great notes to read.

I do agree with you that Gallimore seems disinterested parts of the game and Noebels wants to do to much. As for Mahacheck I like his intensity and spirit at time with the lack due to Doty playing less and Elliot focusing on his play. I feel Sutter is playing better and establishing himself nicely. I don't understand why he gets the jeers at times from the fans. Help me understand if there is anything to understand but his plus/minus looks solid.left of sin binnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-48115642471016426922011-12-29T19:31:35.894-08:002011-12-29T19:31:35.894-08:00Regarding the back to back wins, they wern't p...Regarding the back to back wins, they wern't pretty versus a weak team, but hey with the way these guys have struggled after the holiday break the last 3 years, I will take those 4 points and the W's to the bank. I think these two wins were huge, now lets go beat Moose Jaw! Regarding trades, I just got issues with Gallimore, he bug the heck out of me, he looks as if he is not interested and does not skate hard. I would keep Noebels and Mahachek unless you can get something really good in return, Casen is a 20 and Noebels is a Euro so that is going to be hard to trade.I think coach K is awesome by the way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-10240315801802931062011-12-29T17:51:25.458-08:002011-12-29T17:51:25.458-08:00Regarding trades..

Pickard stays only because they see importance of finally earning a playoff spot. But between Gallimore, Noebels, and Machacek, one of those three will likely hit the road. And rightfully so, as I don't see any of those 3 stepping up and leading this team to playoff glory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-1693461297112495662011-12-29T14:07:41.292-08:002011-12-29T14:07:41.292-08:00Pickard closed his glove too soon.

Looked like he may have tried to snatch the puck out of the air rather than just let the puck come into his glove. <br />Trade season is underway. A few deals already have been made. Your Inglis proposal is off the board as he went to Red Deer. <br />Will the T-birds make a move(s)? I doubt Farwell is willing to trade the only real commodity he has (Pickard). Probably content to finish 6th or 7th and wait for next year...again. But without Pickard they probably don't make the playoffs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
