Recchi pulls a Jokinen and scores 2 goals as Boston drops the 'Hawks to stop their losing streak.

by **wprager** on Sat Mar 07, 2009 6:37 pm

NBC will show the first two games of the SCF; Versus will show the next two, and NBC wil show any remaining games.

What if it's a sweep? That would kinda suck. Don't the Yanks understand that it's not a single game winner take all? Surely, with no time limits in baseball, the American public is used to pre-emptions, TBAs and "if necessary" in their guides.

I watched this one...Recchi was awesome.

Something for Tank Nation to enjoy the games while sort-of, kinda rooting for them to lose. SilverSevenSens present the "Sens Drinking Game":

Wins by Florida, Carolina and Buffalo tonight can push Montreal to the verge of being out of a playoff spot.

by asq2 on Sat Mar 07, 2009 11:58 pm

Some very high-scoring games tonight.

Twelve goals scored in the Carolina - Tampa game, ten in the Detroit - Columbus game, ten in the Islanders - Devils game (seven going to the Isles!), nine in our game, eight in the Blues - Panthers game, eight in the Bruins - Blackhawks game and seven in the Wild - Kings game.

by asq2 on Sun Mar 08, 2009 12:04 am

Eric Staal with four goals. Nice work.

by davetherave on Sun Mar 08, 2009 12:11 am

The Jackets whipped the Wings...their third victory over Detroit in five games this season.

Watched this one...and it was shocking to see the extent of Columbus' domination of Detroit...in the Wings' own building.

by asq2 on Sun Mar 08, 2009 12:18 am

Didn't see it. How did the Wings goaltending look?

I love their forward corps, and while Kronwall and Stuart and the rest of the supporting cast behind #s 5 and 28 on the back-end may have taken a step back, their defence is still top of the line.

If anything is holding them back, it's Osgood and Conklin.

Eight goals against twice in the space of about a week. Yikes. I have a feeling they'll regret not making a move for a goaltender at the deadline.

by **beedub** on Sun Mar 08, 2009 12:31 am

Imagine my delight checking the boxscores tonight. Nash 3 goals, Staal 4 goals 2 assists. Yay! I have these two fine gentlemen in my hockey pools YYEAHH Wing Dang Doodle!!!!!

It wasn't just the goaltending...the Red Wings have issues defensively. Mickey Redmond was very emphatic about that in his colour commentary.

by **SensFan71** on Sun Mar 08, 2009 8:30 am

Nash and Staal were definitely dominant last night, they are definitely making team canada next year look really promising, along with Getzlaf and Heater, vinny, wow, anything less than gold and the team will be dunked in the pacific ocean.

by **wprager** on Sun Mar 08, 2009 8:55 am

Trent Hunter (Isles leading scorer until Bergenheim's hat trick last night) is out for the rest of the season with a broken ankle.

that further solidifies the last place finish, that's too bad though for Hunter, he is a great player.

Habs could find themselves in 8th spot today. A win by the Rangers and the Pens and a loss by the Habs will have them in 8th.

am loving it, Boston has really had it rough lately, but I guess better now than in the playoffs, unless they never turn it around.

Hope the Blueshirts win it for Johnny Torts. They're calling him 'The Fonz' already in NY. Ayyy...fuggidabouddit.

BTW pretty exciting game to watch. Doc Emrick and Edzo always give great colour commentary.

Comrade Geno has to send a message to Comrade Ovie.

Crosby has the Pens up 1-0.

well things are almost perfect in hockey world, but the stars habs game has while until it starts.

by shabbs on Sun Mar 08, 2009 3:32 pm

Indeed. But, Dallas is on the brink too so both teams will be playing desperate. Should be a good game too.

Semin ties it up at 1-1.

by Hayden on Sun Mar 08, 2009 3:39 pm

backstrom, semin, ov and green - that's the best 4 man unit in the NHL.

Steve Begin lines up for the first time against his former team. He will be stoked.

Pens up 3-1 to start the third...

by shabbs on Sun Mar 08, 2009 5:04 pm

And in the blink of an eye... 3-3.

Wow.

by asq2 on Sun Mar 08, 2009 5:08 pm

Ovechkin's only 3 goals away from 50.

Another 60 goal season may not be as much of a stretch as it seemed early on in this season.

by davetherave on Sun Mar 08, 2009 5:48 pm

Break up the Islanders! They beat the Yotes and Deano gets another assist...
Ahhhhh!

HA HA!

They're up 2-1 now. But they can't continue taking penalties. Dallas is 1 for 8, surely their PP is better than that? They've had two 5 on 3s and scored on one of them. Is Montreal *trying* to lose?
