Yep, the Nailers suck this year. My favorite Curtis Darling moment this season...The Nailers gave up five goals and he got pulled (after facing 41 shots). The idiot (non-regulars) "fans" in front of us (next to the visitors bench) start ragging on him so he gets a towel, lays it over the side glass, then stands up next to it at just the right angle to block their view of the ice for the rest of the game. The idiots try to stand to see and everyone yells at them to sit down. When they complain they're told "we can't control what the goalie does, but you need to sit down" They got much more quiet and less annoying after that. Loved it.

Apparently, there were a number of games where the number of shots he faced was in the high 40s or low 50s. And there he sits in the Royals team picture they issued at the beginning of the season.
