Tigers Monday

While it wasn't a good weekend for the Tigers it was a great weekend for me. My hockey team here in Durango rolled 8-1 and I notched my first hat-trick in my 4th game, can't complain about that!
As for the Tigers, they get a much needed (read: they are playing like crap) weekend off coming up to regroup and find an identity.
Going into the season there was a lot of concern regarding the defensive corps in front of Bachman and it looks to be entirely justified as the Tigers have been shelled 6-1 in back-to-back weekends.
I guess we won't have to worry about them peaking too early this season huh?
As for the polls, well, we don't have to worry about the polls this week because the Tigers have fallen into the realm of "others receiving votes". It's a big fall from #1 earlier this season but maybe it's a wake-up call....hopefully it's a wake-up call.
I'll post the full polls below. Missy J again got some freakin sweet shots from the slaughter....er...game Saturday night. There are some sweet close-ups of some of the guys too so check em out! (and a lot of Scott McCulloch too, hmmmm)

And one other note; if any of you out there like playing NHL 08 on Xbox 360 I put my gamercard on the left. I've never played online so if you want to stomp someone let me know! (I did, however, grow up on NHL 97-01 so I know a bit about the game...)
