Thanks Columbus and Buffalo

[Dark Knight]

And thank you Toronto () The Ducks are getting some serious help tonight May they take advantage of it tomorrow.

So far in games that concern the Ducks:

STL at Columbus 2-4
Buffalo at Phoenix 7-2
Toronto at Nashville 4-3
Minnesota at Dallas 3-4 Someone had to win, I guess. At least in was in regulation.

Late in the 1st: Calgary at SJS 0-3

[Dark Knight]

Calgary got shelled 9-1 by SJS Kiprusoff allowed 6, McElhinney 3...

But that too helps the Ducks

[lvsprt]

Geez Louise, Sharks did a number on the Flames for sure. They must be anxious to get the heck outta California.
