Let's go () !!! And please, please, please, no OT!!!

This may be my last NHL GNT filling in for DK. He's due back stateside tomorrow evening, but after 24 hours of travel, he may not be in any shape to put up the March 19 GNT. If not, you'll get another last one from me.

Anyway, it's been a pleasure folks! We've had some interesting GNTs, and some rather boring ones, but we're heading down the home stretch now! It'll be playoff time before we know it.

Go and x 1,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And it has been a pleasure for me too DTP!

Nice fill-in job, DTP. I especially liked that you put in the team's logos next to their names.

You did a great job DTP! I agree with GS35, the team logos were a great idea.

[PortBeach13]

DTP you did a superb job!

As long as the Queens and the Oilers lose tonight I will be happy!

Those are Must Lose Games!

However, the Sharkies are a bit too close for my comfort - they need to lose too.

[GLOVESAVE35]

One final score so far:

Hurricanes 2 Bruins 4

Tim Thomas (aka the Big Banana Peel - have you seen him in his yellow uniform?!? ) made 38 saves in the game, on the day that he was signed to a 3 year extension.


*twiddles thumbs waiting for a game of real interest*

[PortBeach13]

Argh you beat me to it GS35!

[PortBeach13]

Oh and Brad Boyes had a hat-trick against the 'Canes! Congrats to him

[GLOVESAVE35]

Argh you beat me to it GS35!

You know what they say - the early Duck gets the post!

[ahtikullervo]

Jere scorrrrrrrrrrrrrres on PP. 1:0

[GLOVESAVE35]

Dallas just scored a controversial goal against SJ - Arnott was in the SJ net and obstructed the crease - Toskala could not get over to make the save because Arnott was there. But the goal was counted!!

I want Dallas to win, but I don't think goals like that should count.

[ahtikullervo]

@ after Period 1: 1:0.

[WISDUCK]

@ after Period 1: 1:0.

Yeah! Go Stars!

[Veca]

Watching the Sharks/Dallas game. I will never complain about the calls/noncalls against the Ducks again!!! I don't think I've ever seen such refing in my whole life. A Sharkie get's pushed by Turko, high sticked by another Star and there is no penalty to Dallas, the Sharkie get's a goalie interference!!!!
After the Dallas goal was allowed with Arnott in the Sharks net, I thought I'd seen it all. They just proved me so wrong!!!!

[ahtikullervo]

Goooooooooaaaaaaaallll

2:0 Niko Kapanen

[PortBeach13]

The Star's goals

J. Lehtinen (30) M. Modano (40) J. Arnott (37) PP


N. Kapannen (9) M. Modano (41) S. Zubov (50) PP

[ahtikullervo]

[ahtikullervo]
