Hockey

[shadows]

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!

The game was on CBC out here. I turned on the tv with the express purpose of checking out the game. I ended up sidetracked and never did watch it.

I'm glad that Montreal won, but you're right that they have to play more offensively. For that matter, they haven't played defensively too well either. They've relied too much on Halak and Price all season.

The Dallas Stars have been consistently inconsistent.

Win one, lose one, lose in overtime or a shoot out.

Hopefully, they will get it together.

They did move Mike Modano onto the wing-looks like this will work.

The big story in the Southwest is, of course, the Cowboys. Are they the team that shut down the vaunted Saints offense or was that just a mirage?

Hopefully, they will take care of business tonight in Washington and then take care of the Eagles.

When are the Dallas Cowboy's not the top sports story in the southwest?

I cannot think of too many times when the Cowboys were not the top sports story.

With the NFL season headed into playoff mode, they certainly are front and center.

With that said, the Dallas Stars make a national TV appearance against the Blackhawks on December 29

Here are the scores from Dec. 27th's games:

1. Do the happy dance again, Jennifer! Philadelphia beat the Islanders 2-1. It sounds like it should have been 3-1 but Philly had a goal taken back.

2. Boston beat Florida 2-1. A little bit of deja vu...especially when I do up the Dec. 28th report later tonight.

3. Buffalo beat St. Louis 5-3. A bounce-back win for Buffalo after their poor showing their previous game.

4. Toronto beat Pittsburgh 4-3! And with Toskala in net! A Christmas miracle indeed! It's hard to believe that we beat the team that crushed Ottawa 8-2 earlier in the week.

5. Chicago beat Nashville 5-4. Kane won it for Chicago with less than a minute left in the game. Better to win this way, eh Ila?

6. Vancouver beat Calgary 5-1. Kiprusoff got pulled in this game.

Wow! Another night without any games going beyond regulation!

The Cowboys will be front and center for at least another week after beating the Eagles last night 34-14.

And they are looking like the Cowboys of old, not the past few years. Could be bad news for the rest of the teams in the playoffs.

Here are the scores from Jan 8th's games:

1. Carolina beat Colorado 2-1. I'll bet this came as a surprise to almost everyone!

2. Buffalo beat Toronto 3-2. *sigh* Miller always has Toronto's number, and he stopped 48 shots. I hope we(Team Canada) get a little revenge against him in the Olympics(he is on Team USA)!

3. Dallas beat the Islanders 4-3. Dallas ruined the season debut of Rick Dipietro, but I am sure that purplehead isn't too upset about that.

4. Columbus beat Calgary 3-2. Sutter, Calgary's head coach, was NOT happy after the game. Needless to say they probably got their heads ripped off.

Here are the scores from Jan 9th's games:

1. The Rangers beat Boston 3-1. Smc probably was quite annoyed at this one. I am not certain of the exact time, but I think that Savard is supposed to miss 3-4 with his injury. It could be longer, but I cannot be sure.

2. Colorado beat Buffalo 4-3 in the shootout. Colorado almost blew it, but they got the win by the skin of their teeth.

3. Pittsburgh beat Toronto 4-1. Toronto gets a penalty shot, and then gets it taken away because Pittsburgh scored earlier and they did not notice it. Toronto still got a powerplay out of it, but did diddly on it. A weird play to be sure. So much for any momentum that Toronto had when they had that points-streak going on. They are back to stinking up the joint.

4. New Jersey beat Montreal 2-1 in overtime. Close game which could have gone either way.

5. Florida beat Ottawa 3-0. Ottawa is missing their entire 1st line due to injuries so expect more games like this down the road.

6. Philadelphia beat Tampa Bay 4-1. I imagine Jennifer was doing quite the happy dance with this victory!

7. Washington smoked Atlanta like a piece of salmon, 8-1! Ouch! That one's gotta hurt!

8. Anaheim beat Nashville 3-2.

9. Minnesota beat Chicago 6-5 in the shootout. After Minnesota tied it up 5-5, I KNEW that Chicago would lose. Chicago blew a 5-1 lead in this one. Yuck!

10. Speaking of yuck, the Islanders beat Phoenix 5-4 in the shootout. Shootouts leave a bad taste in my mouth.

11. Calgary beat Vancouver 3-2 in the shootout. Three shootouts in a row for this report! Disgusting! Vancouver was lucky to get a point in this game, as they played an underwhelming game.

12. St. Louis beat LA 4-3. Another surprising score!

13. Detroit beat San Jose 4-1. Both San Jose and Chicago did not play to their potential tonight, but to be fair San Jose played far better than Chicago did tonight.

On the bright side, at least you have some goalies that you can rely on. Gustavsson is still green and Toskala is pure garbage. Wanna switch goalies?
