Went to the Bruins Yesterday Best game i have ever been to.
Took my son Lucas to his first game had a blast. Just wish he could have seen a win but it was worth it.

Awesome, the B's did not start playing until the last period.
I hate sounding like a crybaby buy the officials were terrible and helped steal the game:-)

From ESPN.com

So games won not including SO wins comes before games won between the teams. Sharks have 5 SO wins while the Wings have 4.

Ahhhhhh never looked at shoutout wins.
Guess the Sharks will just have to win it by points. :-)

Here is what Alexei Kovalev does to your brain when you face him in a shootout:

Hossa's first goal against the Wings since he left and it is the game winner in OT :-) I have mixed feelings on Z's hooking penalty with less than a minute to go to prevent a 2 on 1. Sure it stopped them from winning in regulation but it gave the Hawks a PP to start OT. Which led to the Hossa goal.

That first period was so slow! 6 penalties and Bertuzzi gets tossed. He'll probably get suspended as he led with his elbow. Thought Bertuzzi's size played a part in Ryan Johnson getting hit in the head. Johnson's head is basically at Berts elbow :-) Glad to see Johnson didn't get seriously hurt, and returned to the game later.

But like you said, Son, it stopped them from winning in regulation. They can't "not call" a blatant penalty because overtime is looming. :-)

I am not so sure Berschmoozi will get suspended, and I won't be angry if he is not. Dumb decision to turn and make the hit skating backward, but I don't think he meant to drill Johnson's head the way he did. I guess we have to leave it to the "experts".

It was a fun game to watch even if the Wing's lost. We did get a point at least.

On the possibility of a suspension...

I know Bert doesn't have a great reputation. All I can say is since he's been in Detroit, I haven't seen him do anything to intentionally hurt someone; aka no cheapshots. I'm not saying 100% for certain, but in the many games I've seen, he's been a model citizen.

If it came off like I was saying they shouldn't have called it, I wasn't saying that. I was saying if he should have taken the penalty. I suppose it was the "smart" play to prevent the 2 on 1.

I'm glad Bert's not getting a suspension. Definitely not a smart a play.

I heard Bertuzzi went to the Blackhawks' locker room after the game and apologized to Johnson. Class move. :-)

I think he has learned some things over the years :-)

You would hope so, he had a lot to live down. He gained some measure of respect in my eyes post-game last night.

Hoping the Hawks catch the Bruins a bit contented after the B's clinched a playoff spot last game, but they are a good team and matching the defending champs. I think if the Hawks can survive the 2st period down 1 goal or less, they will have a good shot at 2 points.

Clemmensen has let quite a few get by in shootouts lately :-):-):-)

B's getting in the playoff mode, Timmy pitches his 9th shutout :-)

Yup, the B's caught a tired Hawks team, and dominated them. Not a good night for a Hawks fan. :-)

Its nice for a Bruins fan to have a good night against an Original 6 team once in a while.:-)

Thanks Paul....next time please just give me a paper cut and pour lemon juice in it. :-) :-)
