Day 37: ROV@CAP review
You knew it couldn't last forever. The Rovers had their franchise-record fourteen game unbeaten streak snapped last night in Chicago at the hands of the Capones, 4-3. The Capones played an energized game, finishing with slight leads in shots, passing, and possession, categories the Rovers have dominated during their run. Simon Gagne scored twice while Martin Havlat scored the winner and assisted on the other three markers. Kim Johnsson scored his first goal of the season and added two assists on goals by Ekman and Korolyuk. Both netminders made 30 saves, with Roloson getting the one-goal decision over Gerber. "I'm proud of how we played", Stringer said after the game. "Chicago is a very good team and it's tough to beat them in their building. I don't think we did anything wrong, they just were better tonight. Credit them fully for the win. We've just got to get back on our feet and start a new winning streak now".
Thankfully the Rovers won't have much time to dwell on the loss; they flew out after the game to prepare to host the Spectres tomorrow.

With all due respect to Brad, Paul, Martin and the rest, no team scares me more in the Champs conference than Walt. I can't imagine what they'll look like in RHL17 with Gagne, Staal, Spezza, and Kovalchuk up front, and Roloson is still going to be awesome. Scary stuff.
The new look 500's will be better, believe me. The PP was terrible and Matthieu Schneider will change all that. Dan Boyle couldn't do it on his own. Too many pucks found their way out of the zone when moving to the left point.
