Two Original Six teams dealing with issues of consistency meet Thursday in Boston. The Maple Leafs hope their last few games are a harbinger of things to come, while the Bruins look to get something started.

Tony Amonte helped Darren McCarty score against his former club as the Calgary Flames extended their winning streak to eight games.

Now, Amonte gets the chance to beat his former team as the Flames look to move closer to the franchise record for consecutive wins when they face the Chicago Blackhawks.

Amonte scored in the first period and set up McCarty's goal in the third as the Flames posted a 3-1 victory over the Western Conference-leading Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday night.

Jacques Martin makes his first appearance in Ottawa as coach of the Florida Panthers on Thursday.

Martin would no doubt like to bring his team into the Corel Centre under better circumstances. The Panthers have dropped nine a row, the franchise's longest losing streak since a span of 13 consecutive losses during the 1997-98 season.

Martin, of course, was fired in April 2004 after nine seasons coaching the Senators, during which time he compiled a regular season record of 341-235-96. He won the Jack Adams Award for NHL coach of the year in 1998-99.

Well, like duh! It looks like they were putting players in the net instead of the puck.

Schaefer looks like Gumby on ice ... I wonder if he managed to maintain his balance.

A sit-down pow-wow in the crease?? Maybe they're going to play rock-paper-scissors in order to determine if the puck goes in or not?

[Dark Knight]

Er... you're right. My bad. I was so happy to see somebody beat up on an LA player. A few moments later Ohlund crushed Avery to the boards and he was down for a few minutes. However, since there's nothing inside his head, there was no harm done
