Farm result: Chicago 2 - Hershey 9

Tough to lose the season-opener, but I'm glad to see the PP and PK are doing their jobs. All we need to do now is work on keeping our penalties down.

An exciting 2nd evening in EHEC. Horton and Filatov with OT winners as Anaheim shows determination to come back on the Red Wings. The Sharks and Capitals offense do the expected while the Committee has started the season a combined 0-for-3. Lots of activity on roster changes/lines which was great to see, http://www.ehechockey.com/EHEC.zip gets you set for the first weekend of season 2.

24 hours in Washington and Markov pulls off a first-star performance, I like.

Lundmark with 6 points tonight for Hershey too, impressive.

2 goals each from the top 3 lines and 5/5 on the PK. Awesome.

I'm not sure which version of Pavelec had the worse night. I'll assume the NHL one, seeing as he spent the night in hospital. The other one just had an idiot yelling at a computer screen in anger.
