Hockey is BACK! Unfortunately, a couple of our teams decided to give us a lump of coal in our stockings tonight.
Here are the scores from Dec. 26th's games:
1. Ottawa beat Buffalo 3-2 in the shootout. Not a very auspicious start to the post-Christmas hockey season!
2. Montreal beat Toronto 3-2 in overtime. I feel that Toronto
should have won this game, but Halak shut the door again. Toronto had 49 shots and Montreal only had 23. Montreal needs to stop relying on Halak(and Price when he is playing) and start going on offensive spurts. That way, you can still win games even if your goalie has an off night. At least Toronto got a point out of it. It was a good game, when all is said and done. Did you get a chance to watch it, Ila?
3. The Islanders beat the Rangers 3-2 in overtime. Three games in a row that went past regulation! Ugh! The Rangers had trouble scoring again.
4. Washington beat New Jersey 4-1. The Devils must have drank too much egg nog over the holidays, as they didn't play well. Sorry dauls! I feel your pain, my friend!
5. Philadelphia beat Carolina 4-3 in the shootout. Philly almost blew this game! At least Jennifer got a candy cane in her stocking unlike the coal that dauls and myself got.
6. Detroit beat Columbus 2-1. If you are a team with a losing streak, the team to play would be Columbus. They stink!
7. Tampa Bay beat Atlanta 4-3. Close game!
8. Chicago beat Nashville 4-1. Chicago is hot right now! They are getting some good scoring opportunities and some great goaltending.
9. Minnesota beat St. Louis 4-3. This is my "meh" game of the night.
10. Phoenix beat LA 3-2. Both of these teams are surprising with regards to how well they are playing!
11. Colorado beat Dallas 4-1.
12. Vancouver beat Edmonton 4-1. Edmonton and Columbus are both pretty crappy right now!
13. San Jose beat Anaheim 5-2. Number 13 wasn't very lucky for the Ducks!
