| Missed most of the game (had my own game to play, we won 4-3, we're on a five game winning streak now, woo-hoo), but I got home in time to see one of my wondertwins, Eric Perrin (UVM '97), score the goal to break up the shutout. I just loved how the MSG announcer was literally just saying King Henrik had a shutout at the very moment Perrin scored. Brilliant.
I gather it was subsequent to a disallowed goal by Perrin that Torts blew his top. Not shocked. With a couple UVMers on the team, I watch a lot of Lightning games, so I'm well aware that he's a guy who definitely wears his heart on his sleeve, and he's good for vesuvian blow up from time to time. Most games, even if they're winning, he gets a good smoldering burn going, but if they're behind that's when the eruption happens. If the benches weren't bolted down, I'm pretty sure he'd have chucked one on the ice by now. Funny, too, because from what I saw in the highlights, it looks like the goal was correctly disallowed, he kicked it in. Oh well.
