Since goalie Adam Brown was one of the three overage players last season, and Kevin Smith was released when the Rockets acquired Brett Lyon at the trade deadline; it hardly seems fair to compare their points with this season's overage players.

6007 + : the number of loud and proud Rockets fans that will be at Prospera Place on February 8th and 9th. Let us show Portland we are true hockey fans.

These games this weekend are big ones. The improvement over last season is unreal. I really thought it would have taken them another year to get to this point but was I ever wrong.

Agreed. A couple of big games this weekend, for a few very legitimate reasons.
But let's be realistic here; the REALLY BIG games are still a couple of months away.
Some playoff hockey in May would be a blast in these parts...
