I was just rechecking the listings and I found the Flyers/Devils game listed on TSN2. I get that channel. I'm not going to watch the game, but I will check on it periodically.

All of the games are now finals except Tampa/Phoenix.

1. The Islanders beat Boston 4-1. I would have considered it an upset in the beginning of the season, but Boston has played poorly this year and the Islanders have shown to be quite competitive in a lot of their games.

2. Philadelphia beat New Jersey 3-2. Close game! I am sure it didn't help the Devil's to have all that extra pressure to tie the record for most road wins in a row to start a season.

3. Columbus beat Edmonton 3-2 in the shootout. Oh, how Edmonton has fallen since the start of the season. And Mason wasn't even in net for Columbus!

4. Pittsburgh beat Anaheim 5-2. Malkin didn't get a point, but the Pens got 5 goals(11 goals in 2 games now!). You can tell how important he is to this team since they got shut out 2 games in a row while he was out.

5. LA beat Florida 4-3 in the shootout. Meh, I say. Meh.

Tampa Bay leads Phoenix 3-1 after 2 periods of play.

Any thoughts on tonight's games?

Great win for the Flyers last night. Game wasn't on TV in the UK last night, they never show the ones I want to see.

Its the result I wanted but not the one I expected, the Devils' 8 game win streak was looking a formidable, who knew the Flyers would turn in such a good performance.

It sounds like you and dauls are from the same neck of the woods. Though it sounds like you are both on opposite spectrums with regards to who you root for in the NHL.:D

JEN:

His play was head-on, and he changed his style after one of his latter concussions. It was a good plan, like AI for the 76ers, and McNabb for The Iggles. They all got to the final game or series, while The Phillies got there twice in a row, won one, and there was no one marquee player. It's a plan with most plans not finishing first, which would be 4 teams out of 122 teams or a 3.3% chance.

That someone was me. Funny to see the early hockey card, but why do they always choose the "look who we've just signed" picture? They look daft wearing a shirt and tie under the team jersey.

I suppose it's a step up from a mugshot photo being used. Has a mugshot ever been used on a sports card? That would have to make it a collectable.

Back in the late 80s and early 90s rookie cards was the big thing and all the card companies were trying to be the first to release the first card so most of the time they used photos from draft day as preseason was months away, On a side note the 92 topps hockey card set was supposed to be 528 cards and the Lindros card is number 529 and was not orinigaly part of the set and was a last minute addtion to the set and back in 92 it was a $25 card at card shows in the NEW JERSEY/SOUTH PHILLIE area

Here are the scores for the November 18th games.

1. Florida smoked Buffalo 6-2. I will admit that I am quite surprised at this score. Normally Buffalo is a good defensive team, and to give up 6 goals to Florida is a shocker.

2. Dallas beat Detroit 3-1. It looks like Detroit got dragged back down to reality after their recent hot streak.

3. Phoenix beat Minnesota 3-2. Good. Bryzgalov is in my pool! Yay!

4. Edmonton beat Colorado 6-4. Colorado has been really shaky that past few games. Is this a sign of things to come? It also looks like they've lost Ryan Smyth for a month due to injury. Not a good thing for them.

(And saving the best for last! Well, for this night anyhow.)

5. Philadelphia beat LA 3-2. Good game, and they had their backup in. Emery has logged a lot of time this year, and he deserved a break. Also, congratulations on 1000 posts Jennifer!

Holy Hockeytown, Batman!

A "Sunbelt" team beat an "Original Six" team and in their own barn, no less!

Dallas wins at the Joe, 3-1!
