Shutout #108 for Brodeur on Wednesday night in the Devils 2-0 win against the Panthers.

Although the Devils have followed their last four shutouts with bad losses. And next up for the Devils on Friday are the Habs.

shadows, tough break for the Leafs in OT against Tampa on Thursday.

I guess the only silver lining I can take from that game is that I got a total of 7 points(3 for Stamkos, 3 for Lecavalier, and 1 for St. Louis) for my hockey pool. I am pissed that they blew another lead, though. I am liking that they are at least getting the first goals now. Earlier in the season, they were always playing from behind!

Now if only they could hold on to their leads...

Ila, what do you think of Montreal getting rid of George Larroque(sp?)? I think he added a measure of toughness to Montreal and that they will sorely miss that if they make it to the playoffs(as they have a lot of small guys on that team). Look at what happened to Carey Price the other night for example!

I was quite surprised, although maybe I shouldn't have been. He has scored only one goal this season. The newspapers out here are calling him the reluctant enforcer as he's only been in four fights this season. I would think that that makes him a better player as I don't like fighting in hockey.

I think that there is a lot going on behind the scenes that the fans haven't been made aware of. I'm sure though that if Laracque signs with another team that we'll hear more from him about what went on. I'm sure we'll also hear some rebuttals from Gainey if that happens.

I don't think that Montreal will miss him too much. He was good for public relations events, but he wasn't producing on the ice. What Montreal will miss most is not being able to fill the roster spot until Laracque's contract is up.

Following the shutout another Devils loss, conceding three goals on 24 shots. The Devils defence is blowing hot and cold at the moment.

Hey, friends, sorry I haven't been posting in this forum. But, as a Bruins fan, it's just so damn depressing.

Um...you're talking to a Leafs fan here, so I hear you loud and clear(and feel your pain!).

Also, I apologize for being behind on the reports. I promise I will catch up on Monday.

I just have to beat shadows to this one.

Montreal 6
Rangers 0

It was Halak's third shutout this season.

Yes, it's happy dance time.

Four second period goals for the Canadiens in eight and a half minutes, that had to be pleasant viewing.

Now the Canadiens have joined the Flyers in the top 8 in the Eastern Conference. Are both teams hitting form as the regular season enters the final 30 games?

At least my Devils bounced back from Friday's 3-1 defeat to the Canadiens with a 4-2 win at the Islanders, Parise scoring the equaliser on the Devils ONLY shot of the 2nd period.
The Devils need to score more goals, they're only the 11th highest scorers in the East, it puts too much pressure on the #1 defence.

At least Gaborik didn't use his face as a punching bag in this one.
