One thing we noticed is that the Petes let the Whalers sit in the slot a lot and do not move or pick up the guy so that gives a lot of good scoring chances. Matt Mistele had two goals and one was from the slot and Gianluca Curcuruto had two goals and he always gets his on slap shots from the point. Gianluca has a real hard shot and he also almost always puts the puck on net. Other guy's shots from the blue line sometimes miss the net. I give Matt Mistele the Whaler Town player of the game. Matt is a really smooth player. He's also pretty cool. At the first autograph game this year, I was wearing my Hartford Whalers hat and when he was signing my cards and smiled and said "I like your hat!"
One cool thing is that my brother caught an MGM Grand Casino t-shirt and it fits him too.
It was Trading Card Night tonight and I got my pack of Whalers cards and they look really good this year, maybe the best ever. One good thing is they were able to get our new players Vincent Trocheck and Sebastian Uvira in the set. I am going to get the cards signed at the second autograph night in two weeks. I already have over 200 signed Whaler cards and I am going to get more.
Now the bad news. Real bad news! I have to miss both games next week. Friday, I have to do something and I would rather see the Whalers but I am signed up for something. Saturday, I have a night game in my league at the same time as the Whalers. I don't mind missing Saturday because I want to play every game I can. My brother is going Saturday but not Friday so he can tell me about the Saturday game. This is the first time since we have been season ticket holders that I missed two games in a row.
So go Whalers and win while I am gone next week!
