Back at the Allstate Arena tonight after a long road trip (the annual break because the Circus comes to town). Well, I don't know what's going on, but the team that I saw tonight doesn't look anything like the team that I have been following recently. Houston came in at 14-3-1-0 and is the best team in the entire league - The Wolves are the worst team at 4-9-1-2. What's going on? Yuri Butsayev is back from Atlanta and he was really cranked up. The Wolves also signed Bob Nardella today (but wont be ready to play for at least 10 days). This was a fun game to watch. Best goal of the night was when Houston goalie Dieter Kochan came out to play the puck in the near corner, Dan Snyder came up from behind and stole the puck, came around the backside of the net and beat him for a 2-0 lead in the 1st. 36 penalties tonight, with 2 penalties on the Wolves in the first 10 seconds. That wasn't the only time it was 5-on-3. At one time during the game, Houston had 4 guys in the Penalty box, and it was a 3-on-3. Referee Harry Dumas was way too quick on the whistle. Fun, fun game.
