Thats my last man standing out the window, but i dont care, great shutout on the road, really thought we would lose tonight after flames display last week, not many go to guildford and win.. worrying though is sandford and cox not scored for 9 periods but not bothered they will score when we need a game winning goal.

Thats quite a result. Early season games in Guilford are always hard.
They did, Guildford rarely looked like scoring. I am loving the PP as well, the speed the puck is being moved is really impressive and Reid could have had a hat trick on another night. I still worry about over committing on D but all in all a good night’s work, bouncing back from a dip in the second period was particularly pleasing, as was Dupont beginning to look like the player we thought he would.
Yes it is about time. He has contributed pretty much nothing for the first 10 games or so, not even the occasional glimpse of what might be in store for us. Even his own coach demoted him from 1st line centre to the 3rd/4th line and only gave him PP minutes after McNally's injury. We can’t carry passengers with this 19 player bench limit, so I hope he now can kick on and be that top line centre that we need him to be.

Big thank you to Bostonbart22 for the match updates. With no webcast and my inability to understand how twitter works (its my age), I rely on inferno updates.
No sign of any highlights either. I guess Guilford did not record it or are just not in any rush to put a loss like that on you tube.

Even in the first few months when Ulmer struggled, I don’t remember him not being very good in the face off circle nor around the net (particularly in front) which is where his strengths lay anyway. I may be wrong on that though, it was a while back. I have no idea what DuPont's strengths are, because up until last night, we haven’t seen anything from him - which could be why Skalde had sent him down the lines too. I hope the guy succeeds, don’t want to be chopping and changing. Very interested to see how he gets used tonight.
Not bring a keyboard warrior, haven’t been abusive to the guy here either. Just expressing my opinion on what I’ve seen so far on the ice - which is surely what this forum is all about. You don’t agree, that’s fine. At least I have an opinion and am not just attacking fellow posters, you should try it sometime.
