Legend: Game Winner, THE Game.  

The teams I follow were out of the playoffs early this year (one didn't even make it). I still follow the Wheeling Nailers and Peoria Rivermen, but lets face it: the season is over for them. So I wanted to support JF Boutin and his team during the playoffs as much as I could, and his next stop was the IHL playoffs. What kind of adopted brother would I be if I didn't support him? But they had a full roster when their NHL affiliate failed to make the playoffs so he wasn't called. Naturally I still think you should all go and visit The JF Boutin Pages. If nothing else just for all of the work that went into it. Please send me your opinions and comments.          Been listening to a lot of Peoria's radio/RealAudio announcer Norm Ulrich. I would rate Norm as one of the ECHL's top 5 announcers. I get to listen to him a lot trying to keep up with JF Boutin's career, and since Wheeling did not get RealAudio this year. Also, I would like to send a special thanks to Shaun and Kim Bill from Peoria for helping keep us filled in on what's been going on there.

You can still get your game updates at one of these sites:

 

I'd like to thank the webmaster of InTheCrease for the sports ticker code above.          I would also like for everyone to drop by the site for our adopted player for this season Rob Giffin with the Wheeling Nailers. Oddly enough, Wheeling got him in the trade with the Peoria Rivermen for JF Boutin and he also wears #7 on his jersey. I am still working on a web page for him, but you may visit what has been completed. This is Rob's second year as a center in the ECHL. He shows a lot of hustle while on the ice and is very impressive at winning faceoffs. We think he will go far in hockey, not just the ECHL. While I was still there he was named the Wheeling NailersPlayer of the Month for December and he finished the season as the Nailers' #5 point scorer. Way to go Rob.
