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!

Pictures, we want to see pictures!

In all seriousness, you'd be better at doing a happy dance than I ever would.

Here are the scores from Dec 28th's games:

1. New Jersey beat Atlanta 3-2. The Devils are back in the winning column, dauls must be happy about that. Speaking of dauls...where are you buddy?

2. Carolina beat Washington 6-3. Big-time shocker! I thought for sure that once Washington got to 4-3 they would take over the game, but that was not the case. Eric Staal(good Canadian kid!) had 2 goals and 3 assists in the game. It hurt me in the hockey pool, but it helps his chances to make it to the Olympics.

3. Columbus beat Detroit 1-0. Detroit gets shut out two times in a row by Chicago(3-0 both times), they only score 2 goals in their next game against Columbus, and then get shut out again in this game. I think it is safe to say that Detroit is hurting big time in the offense department.

4. No happy dance for our favourite bear tonight. Ottawa beat Montreal 4-2. The Habs actually had a good number of shots on net, so their offense was not to blame. Just one of those games, perhaps?

5. Tampa Bay beat Boston 2-1. Remember in my previous report I said the Boston score was deja vu? Yep. You guessed it. The same score(just different winners) as Boston's last game.

6. Calgary beat Edmonton 4-1. Not really a shocker, as both Edmonton and Columbus are the two teams that are playing the worst hockey right now(in the Western Conference).

7. Minnesota beat LA 4-3. LA ties it up late in the third, and then Minnesota scores the winner 12 seconds later. A heart-breaker!

8. San Jose beat Phoenix 3-2 in the shootout. Darn it! I wanted Bryzgalov to get me two more points, but Phoenix couldn't score. Nabokov played well again.

Here are the scores from Dec. 29th's games. Except for purplehead(Dallas), no one's teams played tonight.

1. Buffalo beat Pittsburgh 4-3. Even thought Ryan Miller got pulled, his team ended up with the victory. It doesn't happen often, but it looks like it does.

2. The Islanders beat Columbus 2-1 in the shootout. Columbus had 42 shots on net, so they at least tried to win. As has been the case too many times this season, they failed.

3. Nashville beat St. Louis 4-3. St. Louis almost came back, but it was a case of too little, too late for them.

4. Dallas beat Chicago 5-4. Huet got pulled, but unlike the result in Buffalo's game, the end result was different.

5. Phoenix beat Vancouver 3-2 in the shootout. I hate the shootout. It sucks.

6. Anaheim beat Minnesota 4-2. Bobby Ryan had 2 goals and 1 assist. It looks like he is starting to heat up!

Small night for hockey. Tomorrow there are 8 games, and all the teams of the usual suspects that post here are playing. Go Leafs GO!!!!

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.

Thanks, Shadows, for giving me a laugh this morning. Of the many things I am at the Bruins right now, "annoyed" is fairly low on the list. It is a word that almost seems genteel in compairon to what I'm thinking.

No problem.

To be fair, Boston has it's share of injuries right now. I think only Ottawa has more players out right now, but I am not certain about that.

Lucky you, Jen ... maybe my Bruins will win again one of these days. I hear they're interviewing kids on the street to skate for them, as regular players drop like flies to injuries.

I think we're starting to wear a groove in the recored...wait a sec...

Here are the scores from Jan 10th's games:

1. Carolina beat Ottawa 4-1. Scary fact. This is one of the few(if not the first!) 2 game winning streaks for Carolina this season. I hope they don't make it a 3 game winning streak(they play the Leafs next)! Ottawa is in a load of trouble!

2. Columbus beat Dallas 2-0. Columbus won a game the same night as Carolina? Must be something in the water...

3. Anaheim beat Chicago 3-1. Second loss in a row for Chicago. First they blew a huge lead the previous night, and then the next night lose even though they outshot their opponent 43-12. The third goal for Anaheim was an empty netter.

-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------

Here are the scores from Jan 11th's games:

1. Minnesota beat Pittsburgh 4-3. The Penguins can't seem to beat anyone recently except for the Leafs(darn it!). I wonder if Fleury is feeling pressure because he got named to the Olympic team? Crosby got 2 goals and an assist, and Malkin was a loafer in this one.

2. Colorado beat Calgary 3-2 in the shootout. Good. No soup for you, Calgary!

3. Nashville beat Vancouver 3-2. Burrows got another two goals tonight, and I was certain he was going to get another hat-trick. Alas, it was just not meant to be.

4. San Jose beat LA 2-1. Close game that could have gone either way.
