Darling actually had been playing better lately up til today. When he plays well the rest of the team has been letting him down. Right now this whole "team" sucks, minus Boomer and Lord. Lord's not overly skilled, but he at least looks like he cares out there.
No teamwork at all since the New Year. Aaron Clarke has done nothing since his first call-up. The defense has been just as bad as they've been all year, and the team is not picking up players to replace the ones they are losing.
Ok Harley84, at least we can beat Mississippi and Reading. Darling is a joke, The Failers are nothing but a flash in the pan NHL wannabes. Ewing, Clarke, Cheesman are jokes also. Cheesman won't be the same as he was last year. In fact, look who is in first now. So your right, you should put bags over your heads. Cause the Nailers are movin to Youngstown!
As soon as I was done writing my last discussion, I went to the homepage, and later this was on WTOV9, they stated that three of the players that we had got called up. First one of the three players was Aaron Clarke, loaned to Providence, second was Jordan Morrison, recalled by Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, third Shane Willis, loaned to Springfield. Now I know that it is the goal of these players to be called up not only to the AHL but to the NHL. The thing that really ticked me off was that as soon
Not to make things worse but Shane Willis and Aaron Clarke were both called up to Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton. That isn't going to help things. I don't mind players being called up (that is the goal for a AA player) but GIVE US SOMETHING BACK. AA wants to win too Pittsburgh!
After an unbelieveable start, the nailers are now first in the north dision by only 3 points. They are followed close behind by only 3 points to the dreaded Johnstown Chiefs. Know I dont know what happened first they lose 8-4 to Dayton. Then go and lose to Dayton again by the score of 5-4. Following two losses to the Dayton Bombers I thought for sure that we could get on another winning streak, well I guess I guessed wrong because the Nailers went and lost 6-4 and 10-4 to the Cinc
Jordan Morrison tied an all-time organizational record becoming the 4th Nailer or Thunderbird ever to score 7 points in a game as the Nailers routed the Reading Royals 10-6 Friday night at WesBanco Arena. It was a season high for goals in a game for the Nailers who previously had a 9-7 win over the Cincinnati Cyclones on October 24.
Morrison had 2 goals and 5 assists on the game to tie record for points. And his 5 assists fell one shy of the organizational record of 6 helpers set by Len Soccio of the Winston-Salem Thunderbirds in 1989.
Bryan “Boomer” Ewing recorded his first professional hat trick in the game and Matt Grennier, Reid Cashman, Andrew Lord and Kelly Miller all also lit the lamp for the Nailers attack. Miller’s goal at 11:05 put the Nailers into double figures to delight the crowd.
Wheeling improves to 18-4-5 with the win and with 41 standings points are now all alone in first place in the North by 2 points over the Johnstown Chiefs who lost 2-0 at Elmira. The Nailers trailed the Chiefs by 8 points in the standings a little over a week ago but closed the gap and eventually took the lead by winning several of the games-in-hand they’ve been playing. Wheeling actually takes over the top spot in the entire ECHL with their 41 points as they pass Florida and Victoria who both have 40 points and were idle on Friday.
The Nailers were returning from their holiday vacations after spending time with family and friends and had not practices all week but the offense hardly looked rusty in building a 4-0 lead in the 1st period including both goals that Morrison would score en route to his big 7 point night.
The Nailers built their lead to 7-0 midway through the 2nd period and led 8-1 after 2 periods and appeared to be well on their way to an easy victory but Reading would fight back in the 3rd with 4 unanswered goals to close the gap to 8-5 and make things a bit more interesting. The Nailers got back into it after Coach Puhalski called timeout and Ewing and Mille scored back-to-back goals shortly after the discussion to give the Nailers a 10-5 lead and put the game away for good.
Wheeling went 3/8 on the power-play while Reading was 2/10. The Royals outshot the Nailers 44-36 on the contest. Curtis Darling picked up the win in net with 31 saves on 36 shots to improve to 12-3-4. The Reading Royals fell deeper into last place in the North Division as their record dropped to 8-21-2. The Nailers are 3-0-0 against the Reading Royals this year. They will next meet when Wheeling makes their first trip to Reading on January 16th. The Nailers and the Royals are scheduled to play each other 10 times this year.
It was also the first game for the Nailers after the recent call ups of Rob Sirianni and Aaron Clarke to the AHL who were the team’s top scorers but the deep Wheeling offensive attack looked like they hardly missed their leaders.
This is the first of 6 games in 9 days for the Nailers with 5 of those 6 games coming at WesBanco Arena. Saturday, December 27th is Moon Dog Bobblehead night. The first 5000 fans receive a Moon Dog Bobblehead courtesy of Perkins, Generations, Convenient Food Mart and Jackson Hewitt. $1 from every adult ticket sold will be donated to the Coats for Kids program.

I got Sirianni's. It's the one I had on my radar from the time they started the auction and then he got the hat trick Sunday and I figured it'd drive the price too high. But now I have the whole forward line of Clarke, Sirianni and Goebel in my collecton.
So the Nailers won a few early in the season...BIG DEAL...Pulharsky the savior..HaHaHa..I doubt it.... Just wait till mid season their true colors will shine through. No wonder nobody from the old team wanted to play for him this year... I will say right now that Wheeling will be a 500 team at best this year....PERIOD.....And what about the BiG Tryout Camp they held at Southpoint..Who got picked to be on the squad this year..???? NOBODY...!..Just another money maker for the Brooks Bros.Just like se
