I thought that Boston had a chance to tie it up, since it looks like the Devils took their foot off the gas after the first period. I think the main problem for Thomas is that he is being played as the second-string goalie(Rask has been given the Lion's Share of starts lately(or at least that is how it seems to me), and with the long lay-off during the Olympic break due to riding the pine while Miller played, I am sure he is a little rusty.

Hey, shadows, do you get "rusty" when you "ride the pine" ?

An unfortunate by-product of getting wood.

Those splinters aren't a by-product, they're proof you haven't been treating your wood correctly.

dauls is right, shadows. I know you keep some of this on the nightstand next to your bed; perhaps it's time to start using it.

Ovechkin got a total of 2 games for his hit. Lappierre gets 4 for a similar hit, and Ovechkin only gets 2? Nice job of parity, Colon Campbell(I call him that because his decisions are always full of SHIT!)!
