Game *Night* starts at 9:00am!

[BritDuck]

Malkin caught for attempting a blatent cheating move!! The young Russian is on the floor in front of the net, he picks up the puck in his hand, fakes throwing it away, and then throws it straight into the net!! Colby Armstrong gets credited for his first goal in the NHL before people realise it was actually Malkin cheating!!

[ahtikullervo]

won... Younger brother of defenceman Kimmo Timonen Jussi had his first ever NHL point...

No big deal that they took it away...he still had 16 goals last year as a rookie.

I was so looking forward to hockey all day (see happy dance above) - but I'm sooo not in the mood now.

Huh. The way the Pens commentators were going on about it, it sounded as though it was his first ever NHL goal, not the first of the season. I wasn't really paying that much attention though, I was too busy laughing at Malkin's cheating!

And what's up Aeryn? Rubbish day?

[PortBeach13]

I went to the vs game and man was it a blast. I was cheering on the 'Canes since they were the better team. Boston fans were really obnoxious and retarted too but whatever. Everytime the Canes scored I would stand up and say "OH yeah WTG Boyz but I had a Duck t-shirt so people were liket ,wtf?!"

Everyone's been waiting for his first goal of this season so that's probably why they made a big deal. He regularly plays with Malkin and/or Crosby and can't buy a point.

Wish I had seen the cheating thing though - that sounds hilarious.
