Games 2 and 3

I have got to come up with better titles... In any case the Portland Roster continues to change and at the same time the players that are on the ice are starting to get comfortable with each other. Case in point, after getting beat in Seattle, Keith Hamilton is really starting to play better between the pipes. He had a good game in Seattle, but has really battled well twice now against Vancouver. Also, I didn't think Portland did a very good job on Monday with puck control in the defensive zone and made some poor choices with breaking the puck out... it appeared that they improved on that last night and that is a good sign.

Brad Ross has really stepped up his game as well, he is scoring the puck and playing good aggressive hockey, without pushing it over the top. In the past his aggressive style could get him in trouble with silly penalties, but so far so good...

Now it is home for the weekend with Seattle on Saturday and Lethbridge on Sunday. Portland is getting the some more regulars back and should be ready for some payback on Saturday.
