Oh no, Aeryn over both those shots.

They make me consider putting my equipment on eBay right now.....'cause I ain't shot anything that comes close to that.

Edmonton Oilers: Winger Ales Hemsky will likely be out until after Christmas. He will not be able to skate for another two weeks with his injured shoulder. - Edmonton Journal

Vancouver Canucks: The Canucks recalled Yannick Tremblay from the Manitoba Moose on Wednesday to replace injured defenceman Sami Salo. - TSN

Washington Capitals: Forward Richard Zednik will probably miss this weekend's games with a groin injury... Defenceman Jamie Heward is also out of the lineup, and will miss another week... Forward Jakub Klepis was a healthy scratch on Wednesday. - Washington Post

Carolina Hurricanes: Rod Brind'Amour left Wednesday's game with an injury. The team won't discuss the nature of the injury or how long he might be out. - News & Observer

Atlanta Thrashers: Defenceman Garnet Exelby, who has missed the past nine games with mononucleosis, can begin doing light cardiovascular exercises. Exelby might be able to practice with the team by the end of next week... Andy Sutton's surgery to fix a tendon that had torn away from his ankle bone went smoothly. The defenceman can't put any pressure on it right now. - Atlanta Journal-Constitution

New York Islanders: Goaltender Rick DiPietro may return tonight after sitting out Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Ottawa with a lower body injury. Mike Dunham suffered that loss. - New York Post

Come now ... you earned that "Aeryn in the mist ™" title for your stupendous shots of the Pond

What if we hang you by the feet from the Pond rafters ? You could get all kinds of shots like that. Or maybe you could perch yourself on Penner's shoulders and be on the ice with him

Okay, forgot about my personal ™ title.....thanks DTP.

Hanging from the rafters - yes. Perched on Penner's shoulder - hell no. He'd fall and Aeryn would be

Hanging from the rafters - yes.

Be wary of this offer! They're likely to stuff you into the Wild Wing costume and make you rappel down.

Oh and thanks for not drooling while considering the Penner's shoulders thing.

Damn those
OT

[Aeryn]

Tanguay using some very colorful language on the bench after being denied by Manny.

Will Rolston tee it up??

Yes, he will.

"How do you stop that?! You don't know if he's gonna fake it or unleash it!" -MIN announcers

[Dark Knight]

Now that's how you shoot a penalty shot! WTG Rolston! The Minnesota guys with quite some fancy moves on the SO

Let's hope that TBL worked their scoring frustrations out tonight before the Ducks come to town...

[Aeryn]

Um, shouldn't the video dude have the war room on speed dial?

He had to sit there and dial the friggin number.

"Hmm ya think $60 mil could buy some better ice or pay the electric bill? I wonder"

[Aeryn]

Harrold drops the ball and NSH scores a SH and goes up 2-0.

I do not like the Kings, but from a purely mathematical standpoint, I want them to win.

Dammit all to hell....can't the Kings do ONE thing right?

[ahtikullervo]

Kinky ones lose 0:3

Good news is that Fish are down 2:4

[GLOVESAVE35]

Buffalo lost in regulation!!

And damn those WC teams for going to OT.

LA hasn't lost yet, but are on their way...it's 4-1 Preds in the 3rd.
