Ditto. Maybe the come from behind by the Ducks left a sour taste in their mouth and they'll take it out on the Preds. (a girl can hope)

Triple that. Take out the Trash, Phoenix!!

Quadruple that, although they want to justify to their patrons the exorbitant amount they paid for the rental, so I'm sure they'll be wanting some dog flesh as well

Tucker will have an MRI tomorrow and is planning to accompany the team when it leaves on a three-game trip that begins on Long Island on Thursday. - Toronto Star

The Oilers traded defencemen with the New York Islanders on Sunday, sending Marc-Andre Bergeron to Long Island for Denis Grebeshkov. Defenceman Daniel Tjarnqvist, who has been out with a groin injury since January 10, is expected to return to the lineup shortly.TSN/Los Angeles Times

NYI beat Pittsburgh 6-5 despite Koharski trying to give the game to Crosby and Co. Another "ref" that should be fired by the NHL...

[GLOVESAVE35]

Islanders end the Pens' winning streak by scoring just 27 seconds before the end of regulation. Very exciting end-to-end game, with defense being completely optional.

[GLOVESAVE35]

UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) -Mike Sillinger scored the winning goal with 26.8 seconds left, and the New York Islanders snapped the Pittsburgh Penguins' point streak at 16 games with a rousing, 6-5 comeback victory Monday.

The Penguins, riding a 14-0-2 surge that vaulted them up the Eastern Conference standings, got three goals from Ryan Malone, two from Mark Recchi and four assists from NHL scoring leader Sidney Crosby, but couldn't survive shaky goaltending by Marc-Andre Fleury.

There goes the theory of who needs goaltending when you've got a ton of goal scorers...

Am I the only one who think MAF looks like he's 11 years old ?

He does look really young, and his smile is freakishly huge.

[ahtikullervo]

Well done, !!!

[GLOVESAVE35]

No TV for Pho/Trash game. XM radio has the Nashville broadcast.

Vishnevski is a scratch for this game...

[GLOVESAVE35]

Preds going on the PP because Cujo threw the puck over the glass in a clearing attempt. Go




Heh. Announcers complaining that the Preds are getting "too cute" with the puck and not shooting enough.

[duckfan78]

I am listening to the radio broadcast via NHL.com

[Dark Knight]

Yeah this one is pretty much over; 4-0 Hillbillies over the Gretzkies early in the second. No surprise.
