Aeros Shoot down Wolves 6:3

Last night the Houston Aeros did it again, or shall I say the Wolves did it again. Lost to the Houston Aeros and dug themselves deeper into the standings. Much like a novice driver facing his first snow storm, spinning wheels with a bad PP and a poor PK. Guys, guys get a grip, vets show some passion and defense please stop making Ondrej Pavlec the loneliest man in town. Defence is a three man line, two blue liners and a goalie, please don't make me repeat my self a third time. Pavelec may be a touch slow side to side since his injury but being hung out to dry is costing the Wolves points they can't afford to loose.

On the positive side, the kids look good and are playing with fire, Joey Crabb is probably making Atlanta wonder why they sent him down to Chicago. Four points on Saturday, one last night and he showed no mercy to Kurtis Foster skating for Houston on a conditioning assignment from the Minnesota Wild. Crabb landed the hardest hit of the night on the ex-Wolf, considering Foster is easily a foot taller than Crabb he probably was impressed as he picked himself off of the ice. Welcome home Kurtis, you have been missed Big Man. Chad Denny, the kid is finishing his checks consistently and taking the opposition out of play. Mike Hamilton, Spencer Machacek and Rylan Kaip all are looking good too. There is enough here to still see the glass half full Candide, but March approaches and the playoff run in earnest. Milwaukee is running away and the middle is getting tighter. No room for mistakes or slumps now, there will be plenty of time to think about those on the golf course in May.

Time to get serious boys.
