There was also a line change (early 3rd?) where 2 Rockets had Ross pined against his own bench and were giving him the business pretty good - no call.<br /><br />Most of these types of plays were behind the play, so I doubt you picked up on them, working solo and all. <br /><br />I will say that it makes perfect sense for the Rockets to play on the edge, with some of the tendencies that the 'Hawks had to take dumb penalties last season. However, some of those players have moved on & Ross has really settled down and has behaved well for the most part, including the play I referenced earlier.<br /><br />Its always nice to have you in town, Regan.Chad Balcomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788824156507522789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092520535436243757.post-88637029936171722282012-01-14T09:09:52.274-08:002012-01-14T09:09:52.274-08:00Hey Regan - I really thought the Rockets deserved ...Hey Regan - I really thought the Rockets deserved a point last night - their work effort and grit was much better in Game 2.<br /><br />I am glad (in a way) that I don't have to watch Bulmer on a consistent basis - one shift he is the best player on the ice ... the next he is Mr. Invisiblefaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320025048230213148noreply@blogger.com
