Gaborik just got his hat trick and looks like the Avs are going to lose their third straight.....

Avs score......

GO AVS!!!

:-).....more because I hate Berschmoochi than because of any bet. :-)

Gotta be loving Detroit not in the playoff picture this year... Sharks look the real deal this year... hopefully they don't have an early exit in the playoffs like last year.

Are you kidding? The 10th place team is 10 points out of a 5th seed. Let alone only 3 points to the 8th seed. Wings are 10 points out of the 3rd seed. 10 points is a great week and a half in the NHL :-)

Tonight is the night that the B's play to the potential thaty can play at.
I don't know if I am Reaching here but I am hoping for a turn around.
The last game against the kings at least showed some promise.

Actually it would be the 4th seed, Christos...the first 3 seeds go to the division winners.

Shootout in the Nashville - Phoenix game in the 8th round.

and the 'Yotes win it in Round 10....Aucoin scores. :-)

at sharks game. Sharks are just flat tonight.

shame to Howard has been serving up juicy rebounds all game.

Heatley's line looks good, Danny just missed. Have fun in the 3rd period Mike! :-)

tennis anyone?

And that's 3 wins for the Wings against the Sharks this year :-) Possible first round matchup. Wings fought back from 2-0 to win, 4-2.

And the year before that, and the one before that one too, oh and...

Dude pass those drugs around. 10 points would also imply all other teams dont play or implode. I can pretty much guarentee your scenario you just implied will not happen. Unless of course all the teams ahead of you only play eastern conference teams so no one has games agains each other and all the teams ahead of you call up their AHL rosters. Come on bro get real for a minute.
Dont forget the reason you got back into the playoff pic the other day was not because you won a game but the team ahead of you in the standings lost a game. Settle down its going to be a long season still.

Good win for the Wings. The Sharks lost all jump after the middle of the first. Their D which is still missing the number one D pairing got exposed badly. Horrible breakout passes. For most of the game the D couldnt complete a pass. So many of the sharks chances and rushes up the ice had to be created by the wingers and centers. My comment about being flat was perfectly displayed on the 4th goal when Huskins had the puck stolen from him on a breakout in his own zone which resulted in a goal. As for the first round matchup, it would be a good test for the Sharks to try to excise the Redwing demons they have. I hope they can if it occurs.

One thing that really impressed me about the wings was their presence infront of the net. On one shift in the second all three forwards spent time camped in front of the net. It was impressive. I hope the Sharks can solve the Wings by their next meeting on the 11th. That said the Sharks are a deeper and more skilled team then the Wings and I got to believe this year by adding Heatley and the grit of Nichol they will be able to make a deep run. Hopefully but you never know.

Should anyone who is an Ottawa fan be running any smack about playoff success or choking? By the way thanks for Heatley hes fitting in nicely. :-)

Berschmoozie has 26 games to get 10 more goals. Will he do it. Or will he...

Clown Shoes is going to fail me. You know I really thought this year with the lack of depth he was going to play a much bigger role in scoring. I guess he just doesnt have it. Watch he will get to like 22-23 just to piss me off.

Maybe the Wings can trade him to the Flames and he can stay stuck at 15, MIke. :-)

I never said it was going to happen. Just playing Devil's advocate. As a fan of the game I always like to play the "what if" game. If the other teams start sliding and the Wings put a string of regulation wins together that could mean the difference in seeding. Considering the standings 10 points is not that much. And as of right now it's only 6 points to the 3rd seed.

4th seed!! The three division winners are the top 3 seeds!!! :-):-)
