Another night off for the Devils, and another frustrating night of NBA on ESPN-UK (sh  t!) It would've been nice if they'd showed one of the following games...
* Good win for the Flyers over Tampa - Jen, what did Laviolette say to them between the 2nd and 3rd periods?
* And also for the Habs over the Hurricanes - those lucky rookies are on a roll .
 Merry Xmas fellow hockey fans.  |
Thanks for the
and the Rep, dauls.
I really wish the Leafs would wake up and play a full game of hockey. To lose to the Islanders(and waste a good goaltending game by the Monster) after the Islanders have been so horrible the past few games is inexcusable! Arghhhh!
And with that....
Here are the scores from Dec. 23rd's games.
1. Boston beat Atlanta 6-4. Certainly no goaltending duel this game.
2. The Islanders beat Toronto 3-1. The Monster only gave up 2 goals(the third was an empty net goal), but the offense decided to take an early Christmas break! A lump of coal(or another lump of something!) for them! Bah humbug!!!
3. The Rangers beat Florida 4-1. Great. More points between them and the Leafs now. They picked a perfect time to start laying eggs again.
4. Pittsburgh crushed Ottawa 8-2. Pascal Leclaire returned in net for Ottawa after suffering an injury on the bench a while back. Perhaps he should have stayed away another game.
Malkin had a hat-trick and Crosby had 3 assists.
5. Washington beat Buffalo 5-2. Washington was firing on all cylinders tonight.
6. Montreal beat Carolina 5-1. Montreal as a team played better tonight than other games in recent memory, but again Halak was the difference. He made 46 saves in the victory, and Cam Ward(Carolina goalie) was not sharp. He let in 3 goals off 7 shots(he must be taking tips from Toskala. Bad career move, Ward!).
7. Minnesota beat Edmonton 3-1. Yet another loss for Edmonton. Yikes!
8. Philadelphia beat Tampa Bay 5-2. Jennifer can do the double happy dance for this one! Philly won, and they beat Tampa Bay as well!
9. Chicago beat Detroit 3-0. Second game in a row where Chicago shutout Detroit. The first had Huet getting the shutout, and this time it was Niemi. The guy's started only 10 games, yet he has 4 shutouts. I think he's going to be a great goalie in the years to come(he's only 26!).
10. Dallas beat Columbus 3-1. Columbus is just plain horrible! Purplehead should be happy that Dallas is playing well right now, but I have not seen her post in this thread in a while.
11. Phoenix beat Anaheim 4-0. Sweet! Another shutout for Bryzgalov! That helped me in the pool immensely!
12. St. Louis beat Calgary 2-1 in the shootout. Calgary had another night of struggling to score goals.
Well, that is it folks. There are no more NHL games scheduled until December 26th. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a Happy and safe New Year!
