Thank you dauls.
Who would have guessed, looking at all the games that would be playing last night, that out of dauls, Jen, Ila, and myself that I would be the only one happy with the outcome of a game. I certainly didn't expect it.
Here are the scores! Lots of 'em, but too many shootouts!
1. Calgary beat LA 5-2. Iginla got a hat trick and Calgary looks to have bounced back from their last game where they lost 7-1.
2. *does happy dance* Toronto beat Washington 2-1 in the shootout. Two things that surprised me the most about this score. The first being "glove side" Toskala winning in the shootout, and Toronto winning a game
afterregulation time was over(first time this season!). Dauls, I don't think that they will be making the playoffs, but I hope they at least don't end up giving Boston their Lottery Pick!
3. Detroit beat Montreal 3-2 in the shootout. They just had to rub it in, eh Ila? It was bad enough to lose to Detroit(those bastids!), but to do it in a shootout. I imagine your anger is fierce.
4. Ottawa beat Buffalo 5-3. Ottawa is playing well right now, but they may have lost their #1 goalie(Leclaire) to injury.
5. Florida beat the Rangers 3-2. Florida is playing quite well right now.
6. Carolina beat Tampa Bay 3-1(which will make Jen feel a little bit better I am sure). Carolina has played better recently, a sign of things to come?
7. Pittsburgh beat Atlanta 3-2. An interesting thing to note is that Atlanta scored both goals shorthanded during the same Pittsburgh PP(Kovalchuk got a HUGE penalty).
8. St. Louis beat the Islanders 4-1. Both NY teams lost.
9. Nashville beat Columbus 4-3 in the shootout. Enough with the darned shootouts already! Nashville has been playing quite well recently.
10. Dallas beat New Jersey 5-3. Dauls, at least you can take solace in the fact that it was mainly due to your backup goalie having a bad night. Purplehead should be pleased with the final score, though.
11. Phoenix beat Philadelphia 3-1. While I am glad that Bryzgalov got me 2 points for the win, I just wish that it wasn't at the expense of the Flyers. Sorry Jen!
12. Chicago beat Edmonton 5-2. A tale of two teams going in the opposite directions it seems.
13. San Jose beat Anaheim 3-2. Darn it, Heatley got another!
