Did Rask let in a soft goal or something? I was just following the game on nhl.com, so I don't know any particulars(besides shots on goal, penalties, etc.).

No, Rask did quite well. My comment was simply a reference to the fact that he failed to keep one more goal out of the net than the Habs.

Alas, I know all too well that happening with the Leafs this season.

It looks like the Devils lost to the Islanders tonight(4-2)! I don't think that dauls is going to be a very happy camper!

Bryzgalov got another shutout for Phoenix tonight. It is his eighth of the season!

One night the Devils beat the Penguins, the next they lose to the fg Islanders. Trailing 3-1 the Devils closed the score to 3-2 before giving up a fg shorthanded goal in the 3rd minute of a double minor.

Next up the Bruins on Monday night. We'll probably help Boston in their struggle to hold onto 8th spot.

Please, don't do us any favors. I'm beginning to be a very strong advocate of hockey euthanasia.

It's a shame the Devils don't share your point of view. When will they learn to put the teams that have given up on the 2009/10 season out of their misery?

Well, my Maine Black Bears came to play tonight and tied up the best of 3 playoffs match. Tomorrow will decide who advances or not.

Rask's performance was what kept Boston in the game when their defence forgot to keep playing.

ila, don't let them off the hook by saying they forgot.

Oh, and by the way, it's defense that they weren't playing. Maybe if they did play defence, they would be better.

I stand corrected.

No, ila's wording is correct. The way they are playing right now, the Bruins are straddling de-fence to the playoffs.

The Leafs, however, lost the damned key to the gate a loooong time ago. I think that Rat-fink bastard Toskala took it!

Wow! Now we all can have another reason for wishing we could be Canadian: so we can make puns like that with those wacky Great North spellings!

Of course. Defence - noun Defense - verb The act of getting on de-fence is de-fensing.
