Wow, five days until the playoffs, so lets use another goalie (Kevin Regan) tonight! What is going on IN goal?!?? Well, what a debut! Congrats to Kevin Regan, who not only made his AHL debut, but got his first AHL shutout!! WOW!
Oh man, I just finished listening to the second period and I'm furious!!!! The P-Bruins had not one, but TWO goals waved off!! The first they said the whistle had blown too early (don't do that then!), and then when we got our second, the stupid ref waves it off (again) and says it was hit in with a high stick. I guess this is how Manchester plans to win their home games during the playoffs -- get a ref in that just waves all Providence goals off. Disgusting!!!!!!!! I see at times it happens, but TWO times in one period? BS!
Ah.... nice vengeance on it all in the third period as the P-Bruins strike three times! And even shorthanded! Though it was quite amusing that the score tried to take the goal away.. BOY, what's their problem?
Nice to have the final regular season win against the team we'll see in the playoffs. And I noticed there weren't any fights. I think the last one last night when Mac actually KO'd his partner, they all got the lesson.

I will say that I have no problem with Kevin in net next week. He was awesome. The shots they were getting were good shots and he was making great saves. Congrats on his 1st shutout and I hope we see him soon in net.
I didn't see him, but by the sound of it all (and the final outcome) it sounded like he was really solid in net.
I don't know what is going on with Jordan, and it's making me angry. He's my pick to see in net for the playoffs, but if he can't then, I'm ashamed to say that I'd rather see Kevin. I love Tuukka, I really do. But, he's very shaky right now. Maybe the playoffs will be OK for him. Maybe we'll be surprised and he won't be in net..
Congrats again to Kevin Regan on his first AHL shutout in his first AHL game!
