Nice jersey Xpinky Hockey is the only sport that I will watch a game from start to finish. The Sabres are my favorite team, they are about 70 miles to the west of where i'm located. It doesn't hurt that the owner of the team use to live about 10 miles from me, he still has a home here and his business, but he now calls Florida his home. There are a lot of good teams, but it's not marketed very well nationally here in the States. I'm lucky being close to Canada Hockey does get more media coverage here than most parts of the country.

Ila being a Montreal fan I hope you like Brian Gionta, he grew up in my neck of the woods, I hope he does well for you up there.LOL I never thought I would be talking hockey here.

Sweet. Looks like there are a lot more hockey fans here than I first thought.

Ila, Montreal ended up winning in the shootout, 2-1. Cammalleri got the winner. Not taking anything away from the win, but Boston just doesn't seem to have any offense at all right now.

I wish I had known last night (also forgot to check the sports scores this morning). One of the guys I work with is a big Boston fan. Same thing with one of the women at work. I wouldn't have hesitated to let them know that Montreal won.

btw I don't like overtime in regular season games. I say if the game ends in a tie after three periods then so be it. There should only be overtime in the playoffs.

I've never liked the shootout to start with be it reg season or playoffs or the Stanley cup the whole shootout thing should be done away with

The only thing I like about the shootout is...well, I don't like the shootout. The Leafs couldn't win a shootout if their life depended on it...especially with "Look Ma! Past the glove side again!" Toskala in net.

One thing you will never see(at least I freaking hope not!) is a shootout in the playoffs. I think if Bettman tried sometime that assinine they would find his body stuffed somewhere with a bag of hockey pucks stuffed down his throat. And I think Toskala would be the prime suspect.

On a bright note, both our Flyers and Leafs won tonight, Jen!

Yeah, but at least the overtime during the regular season is only 5 minutes in duration. Some of the shootouts last longer than that!

I love overtime in the playoffs, but once it gets to the third or fourth overtime it gets a little boring as the players are so tired they are just waiting for a lucky bounce or a brain-fart from the opposing team.

I should have also added that I don't like shootouts either. The game should be 60 minutes and that's it. If it ends in a tie then it should be recorded as such with one point going to each team.
