Tampa won in OT 1:0. Graham SO. In my Fantasy team it was 2nd SO (Niittymäki had one last night!)

[ahtikullervo]

Minnesota took a win (4:2) in Detroit...

[PortBeach13]

I was expecting a Detroit W tonight. . Especially how Brian Rolston played Chris OsGood quite sucked I must say! Well I guess Minnesota, Phoenix, and us are tied with 42 points.

[ahtikullervo]

Elias has an assist in his debut... Devils win 3:0.

[PortBeach13]

The guys at OLN say that the Devils could make the playoffs if the GGE will blosom throughout the half of this season. It might happen and it could be by far a dramatic comeback!

Go Preds       beat the avs

My feelings exactly, however it's 2-0 Crapalanche after two. Trashville's in free fall. Although it seems like McGoo hates them too. I have the game on and I've seen two outrageous calls from our favorit ref. The guy's just incompetent.

And it was huge for Michel Therrien, who coached in Montreal for the first time since he was fired by the Canadiens in 2000.

"When I said there was no bitterness, there was no bitterness," said Therrien, who was promoted from AHL Wilkes-Barre when Ed Olczyk was fired as Pittsburgh's coach Dec. 15. "But I won't lie to you. This was special and I'm glad to get the win."
...
The fading Canadiens (18-14-6), who have lost three straight and seven of 11 games, held a post-game meeting to "clear the air," said defenceman Sheldon Souray.

"We've got to get a sense of urgency to get out of this funk we're in," he said. "The only people who can get us out of it is us."
