O.T win for the Hawks tonight against L.A.....Patrick Sharp's second goal of the game was the game winner.

Adam Burish's first game back after missing the first 64 tonight. 10 seconds into his first shift, he sets up Sharp's 1st goal....a few seconds later, he fights....ended up only a goal short of the GHHT. :-)

We will disagree.

As I said last time we had this discussion, deep teams still win when players get injured as other players step up. That didnt happen. There is no point in me linking stats pages they are easily found. As a side note I believe the Wings are healthy so I suppose we will see a much improved effort. As others have said they likely will make the playoffs, but as I also pointed out a few months ago to you it will be a 7 or 8 seed no higher. I still believe there is a possibility they will miss it also. It really comes down to a few factors.

I know one thing my other team the Leafs should be getting the #1 pick in the draft. Woooot! :-)

OOO nice win in OT by the Hawks. LA gave the puck away 2x on bad passes which resulted in goals in under 5 seconds. That was fugly.

Winning fugly works for me. :-)

Heart breaker! Horrible giveaway by Richardson in the neutral zone in OT. What was he thinking?

Congrats, Tom...

Looks like the Kings are still a lock for the playoffs, maybe they shall meet again, Brett? :-)

The Hawks scare me too much, but I'll take any playoff match up I can get.

One more post for 15,000, Tom!

The Kings are definetly one of the teams I have worries about as a Sharks fan. You guys took the season series and always get up for any of the games. I little nastiness was brewing last time and the Kings are definetly playing god hockey. I dont even want to think about another Sharks implosion this year.

Here's the thing with deep teams losing players to injury and still winning. They had 7-8 players out at 1 time. I cannot find any NHL team that can have that many players out and still win on a consistent level. All while having a rookie goalie playing.

Might be time for Crosby to have his head on a swivel for the rematch next week. If the Bruins follow the old-time code, their best player, not Cooke will be the target and this genius of a Commissioner has given them free reign to get even. It might be a good idea for the Pitt coach to hold Crosby out of the game.

Did I mention I am going to this game? I can't wait to see what goes down. I do not wish for anyone to get hurt, but I do expect fights and a lot of action this game.

I want their best player(s) out for as long as Savard will be out and I will add in the time that Bergeron lost to cheap shots a couple of years ago. It is time that if you take one of my eyes, I take both of yours. Too bad that this team does not have the guts to do it. Milbury called them pussies before the Toronto game.

I agree....Lucic hasn't been throwing his weight around as much. I hope Thornton steps up to the plate. Should be an entertaining game and possibly an even better post-game to anyone wearing a Pens jersey :-)

Lucic has been hurt for most of the year and currently has a broken nose. Others are more than able to fight and should leave Pitt blood on the ice.

Yeah, it's a credit to the NHL when I can honestly say that there is no such thing as an easy first round match up. I think the Kings could beat or be beaten by any potential first round opponent. But with 16 games to go and only a 9-point cushion, I am still focused on just getting to the show.

Good to see somes signs of life in the Bruins tonight:-)

at the Sharks game with my son. The Sharks look horrid tinight how the score is only 4 to 2 Nash is a mystery.The D is flat and getting picked apart. Passes to nobody turnovers left and right. It's going to take a huge break for them to even steal 1 point

Nabby is pissin' me off.

:-) Caught me funny... laughed out loud at this line.

Hurricanes won tonight... beat Crosby and the Pens in OT. :-)

They can't possibly make the playoffs... but I love the grit and "never say die" attitude. Proud to be a Caniac! :-)

Cool Joe!

Did you see Andrew Ladd had his first career hat trick the other night?
