Here's the full set (including evidence that Kolanos did at least warm up and then, I guess, made a no-go call) and here are some appetizers:
Brusty said Nolan has some of the best looking pads and I gotta agree. The whole look is pretty sick, especially in the away darks. Not usually a fan of gold pads but he pulls it off.And this is a terrific photo of Locker.

And for your postmortem with Coach Constantine, our friends at Admirals Short Shifts offered up some quotes. Thanks guys!
Q: WHAT DO YOU TELL YOUR GUYS AFTER A GAME LIKE THIS BEFORE GAME 7
I don't know - it's game 7. It's something we all live for, right? Kids think about it, dream about it, it's a game 7. To the degree that we can, we have to put tonight behind us and go play game 7.
Q; TALK ABOUT THE DECISION TO PULL KHUDOBIN
It wasn't really a goalie switch because of a bad goalie, it was like "oh - let's just try to slow a little momentum." Why do you change goalies? Sometimes you change goalies because the goalie's not playing well. Sometimes you change goalies just to try to change moemntum somtehing, karma. Tonight it really wasn't abiout bad goaltending - we needed to kind of slow them down a little bit. It didn't work very good - but that's what we were trying to do.
Q: WHO GETS THE START WEDNESDAY?
We'll talk it over as a staff and try to let the goalie know by tomorrow so he can be ready for game seven.
Q: CAN YOU TALK ABOUT KOLANOS' SITUATION - WHY HE WASN'T IN THE LINEUP TONIGHT.
Just an injury so...he knew in the morning that it was a possibility. I didn't get a chance to talk to him right before the game. I'm sure maybe in his mind if there was a margin for error of playing or not it would have been now to give his injury a couple extra days to heal. So hopefully he'll be ready for game 7.
Q: THE OTHER CAMP IS GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT HOW CRITICAL MOMENTUM IS. DO YOU DISCOUNT THAT OR, IF NOT, HOW DO YOU COMBAT THAT?
We have to be better. They're a good team - they won the division so we know they're a good team. It's obvious we have to be better, so hopefully we're better. That's the only way we have a chance is to be better.

Khudobin became Qudoba in an Ads report... Anton's twin?
Nice Photos from Chris.
AND Locke's positive outlook is heartwarming....after a heart stopping game 6.
And as always Ms. C is up on the next addition to the Boyz on Ice.
There's some mexican chain called Qdoba (none in Houston) that I guess is like Chipotle, so they think it's funny to call him that (and I guess it is a little). Though I can't imagine why Dimples didn't catch on with them.
And yes, Ms. C does like to keep an eye on the fresh meat. ;)
For the record, Qdoba (although an Admirals sponsor) doesn't compare to Chipotle. So you arent missing anything.
Dimples caught on here, to the point of some fan screaming "dimples sucks, dimples sucks, dimples sucks!" after Game 3 :D :D
NOOOOOOO..I hate that chant ...anywhere!
Don't worry this was after the game when I commented "Dimples was great in goal" ;)
Ahhh, nice, Chris. That makes me feel better.
