Didn't see, but heard of the Satan gosl. Apparently it was some crazy hand-eye coordination feat. The kind where you would practice it for ages in practice and not be able to duplicate it.
Anyone see that hit put on the Leafs Jason Blake by the Bruins? The guy sent him over the boards into the Boston bench.
Habs-Blue Jackjets 1-1 tie thus far. Wouldn't you know it, Umberger picking up where he left off in the playoffs by getting the first goal.

What a bummer, The Habs tie the game with 40 seconds left and get to the shootout and lose to Columbus! I realise Halak doesn't play much, but he didn't look too great on some of those goals. You have to have Kovalev and Koivu as your first two shooters. The schedule has been screwy of late, a 6 day gap between games didn't help. I just hope they can take it to those pesky Leafs tomorrow night. Leafs-Habs is like Devils-Rangers in these parts. They hate us and we hate them.

The Habs are down 1-0 and not playing too well, too many dumb penalties, they are lucky to be down only one considering all the time they were on the PK. I actually hope they lose tonight, they need a wakeup call, too much half-a#$ed play, and squeaking by with points they barely deserve. I'm thinking about skipping the rest of the game and going to see this band I like at a club.

WOW is all I have to say about Roberto Luongo. The Canuck netminder just pitched his 5th shutout of the young season and 3rd in a row with a 2-0 victory over my Minnesota Wild.

The Devils have eight players out tonight due to injury: Goaltender Martin Brodeur (torn left biceps tendon), center/right wing Brian Rolston (high right ankle sprain), center Bobby Holik (broken right pinky), defenseman Paul Martin (upper body), defenseman Andy Greene (broken right hand), right wing Brian Gionta (soreness head and shoulder), defenseman Bryce Salvador (left foot) and left wing Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond (cracked orbital bone).
and we have clemmenson in goal.
thankfully the giants are on tonight so i won't have to watch this debacle.

Did you see that goal Hemsky scored against the Devils? Incredible dekes. Madden could have tied it up, but the Oilers squeaked by.

80'sRocked, I meant to ask you this a while ago. What the heck has happened to Peter Prucha? I remember when he scored 30 goals as a rookir, then 22 the next year, and the past few years he's been declining so much. I thought this guy was a future star.

So did I after that rookie season.
Who the heck knows? This year, he hasn't been playing much. There have been tons of rumors that they are trying to move him. I must say though, when he is playing that night....he gives 100% all the time. It's not from his lack of effort.

With the exception of Zherdev and Lundqvist, I'm noticing the Rangers aren't having much luck with Europeans such as Jagr, Nedved, even Marcel Hossa, and the untimely and tragic death oftheir draft pick in Russia not long ago.

Yeah Ripper....Jagr had that one big year with 54 goals in 05-06, but alot of Euro's struggle here. I don't know if it's the pressure of NY or what. They sure have the talent and skills.

Very well could be. NY has a pressure cooker atmosphere, it must have been bad for Jagr to leave. So looks like Kevdugup's Oilers found a way to win in the SO. I see Drury got his 6th, I'm hoping he has a good year since he's in my pool. Would love to see hime get above his career high 37 goals and 93 points he had in Buffalo.
I watched the Capitals-Lightning game tonight. Theodore isn't even playing in nets, it's Johnson and he's doing good. The Caps scoring seems to be more concentrated this year, Ovechkin doesn't seem as dominant, but was relieved to see him get his 3rd goal near the end of the game.

Don't worry about Ovechkin he'll be up around 50+ goals before the season is over. Don't have him in any of my leagues since I didn't have an early enough draft pick to even have the chance of drafting him. But I am trying to swing a trade for him in a couple of my leagues hoping that his owner is one of those that panics too early in the season and will trade a slow-starting superstar for somebody off to a fast start.

Congrats on this one Kevdug....great game though. At least we got a point after being down 2-0.

High scoring game at The Joe tonight. A rematch of last years Stanley Cup participants Pittsburgh vs Detroit. Detroit had two goal leads on quite a few occasions but let the Penguins sneak in there and take the game to overtime in which the Penguins pulled off a big victory on the road coming away with a 7-6 victory. Jordan Staal was the BMOC as he netted a hat trick in the third period and getting a helper on the game winner.
Best part is I benched Penguins goalie Marc Andre Fleury on my fantasy league tonight. Granted he would have picked up a W for me but his Goals Against Average and Save Percentage would have been a killer.

That Pens-Wings game was nuts! I couldn't get this game on TV which was a downer. Sid had a decent game.
Habs looked better tonight in the Sens-Habs game. Glad they kicked Rutuu out of the game. Couldn't stand him when he was was the Pens. Price had a solid game. I think EJ's Avs play the Canucks tomorrow, will Luongo's shutout streak continue?

A period to go and Luongo's shutout streak continues, we'll see if he can hold on....

Luongo's streak ended early in the third period as Stastny was able to put one behind him. But other than that he was lights out through overtime as Budaj was matching him save for save with him only giving up a penalty shot to Pyatt. Avs win the shootout 2-1 and the game 2-1.

A real goalie's duel, some sensational saves. Budaj on one of the Sedin twins has to be seen to be believed.
Looks like Rangers took care of the Devils 5-2.

I was waiting for someone else to mention it before I commented. I don't want to make my buddy xchazx more miserable than it seems he already is with his team.
Good win however....I must say. Rangers owned the second period. Zherdev with 2 goals was great. Some fisticuffs as well, always makes for an enjoyable watch.

this season is already in the sh***er. there are too many holes on this team to overcome, especially with the injuries. weekes proved why he is a good backup and not a regular, and i'm not even including the two 5 on 3 goals he gave up.
i'm not even asking for wins right now, just be competitive. that 2nd period was a disgrace.
other than rolston, parise, martin, and broduer, this whole team can get shipped out. let's start over.

Budaj finally has a good game and I miss it. Hockey is not a big thing here where I am at right now. I had to catch smalls clips of it on the net. Maybe I should just not watch, I think they do better that way.

Something tells me it's going to get chippy tonight when the Habs face Boston. The suspended Kostopolous we could use tonight, he tends to play well against the Bruins.
