Here are the scores from Dec 3rd's games.
1. Buffalo beat Montreal 6-2. The offense did not show up again, as they only managed 23 shots on net. Was Halak a little rusty from not playing in quite a while, or was it just a bad night from the defense? They need to pick up their play otherwise they will be on the outside looking in.
2. Vancouver beat Philadelphia 3-0. There are increasing rumblings that Stevens is going to be fired as head coach. This game will not help him any. I am surprised they are playing like they are! Luongo played a great game, though.
3. Washington beat Florida 6-2. No Ovechkin? No problem it seems!
4. The Islanders beat Atlanta 4-1. Tavares got his first goal in what seems like forever!
5. Toronto beat Columbus 6-3. *does happy dance* They are playing very well right now. They are only about 4-6 points out of being in the thick of things! Kessel got two more goals and now has 10 goals and 5 assists in 15 games. At least this proves that it wasn't due to Savard that he got so many goals last season.
6. Edmonton beat Detroit 4-1. A good win for Edmonton, especially against a team that always plays them tough.
7. Pittsburgh beat Colorado 4-1. Crosby got another 2 goals, which gives him 19 for the year. Looks like another great year from Sid the Kid.
8. Dallas beat Anaheim 3-1. Anaheim also lost Teemu Selanne 4-6 weeks with a broken hand(a shot hit his hand). Not good for a team that is already struggling.
9. Phoenix beat Calgary 2-1. Good. No shutout for Kiprusoff this time.
10. LA beat Ottawa 6-3. Will Kovalev or Spezza ever free themselves from the floating issues they seem to have? Doesn't look like it. I'll bet that Ila is happy that Kovalev no longer plays for Montreal.
11. St. Louis beat San Jose 3-2 in the shootout. St. Louis beat a very good team. Tough to do lately for them it seems. This was also the ONLY game to go beyond regulation time! That doesn't happen very often.
