2-1 Pittsburgh in the 3rd.

Make that 3-1 Pittsburgh late in the 3rd.

[GLOVESAVE35]

SJ won 3-2 over Colorado. LA and Edmonton tied 1-1 in the 2nd.

Don't know why I bother rooting against Pacific Division teams when the Ducks don't bother to help themselves.

Fortunately, it's still a marathon and not a sprint to the finish. Our boys failed on the easier hills, so they'll just have to make gains the hard way. It's not like they've ever let us take the easy route before.

Yeah, I realize that but I'm becoming more and more concerned. If the Ducks get too far behind it'll be tough to catch up considering the way they've played lately and likely will continue to play. I can't decide whether to write this off as the Cup hangover season or keep hoping they're going to make the playoffs.
