I guess I was correct with my assessment on how Jen would react.

I have not seen it, but read about it on NHL.com.

It was a bad call on the refs part had i been the ref i wouldn't have called it at all as it was part of the game a little hitting is all part of the game and should not be called unless it's a brawl or a stick gets jamned yp someone's butt

One game last night, so it will make my post an easy one.

Montreal beat Columbus 5-3. Columbus is reeling right now. They had the lead, but totally fell apart in the third period! Well, serves 'em right I guess. Ila will be doing the happy shuffle(he can't dance, after all) now!

Nonsense dauls! There is no such thing as offtopic in this thread(unless it is non-sports related:D). Tennis is great, and I actually enjoy playing it during the nice weather.

Onto the scores from last night. A lot of people will be happy here, but alas, one of us will be crying into his milk(does a polar bear even drink milk?) ).

1. New Jersey beat Ottawa 3-1. It finally looks like New Jersey has righted their ship. dauls will be happy.

2. Philadelphia beat the Islanders 2-1. A closer score than I thought it would be, but at least Philly won. Their mini-losing streak is over. Jennifer will be happy.

3. Washington beat Buffalo 2-0. While Jen is probably angry that the Capitals won, she should take solace that if the NHL has any sense of fair play then Ovechkin should be suspended for his boarding penalty last night which garnered him a Game Misconduct(which tossed him from the game!).

4. Toronto beat Tampa Bay 4-3(in REGULATION TIME, BABY!!!!). Since you and I are both happy about this score, did you care to dance with me Jen. *does the happy dance*

5. Pittsburgh beat Montreal 3-1. No fault of Price's. The offense disappeared. Again. Ila will not be pleased.

6. The Rangers beat Florida 2-1 in the shootout. I was less than five minutes away from getting 7 points for a Lundqvist shutout. Why could they have not kept the tying goal out of the net!?!?!?

7. Atlanta beat Detroit 2-0. Pavelec played well again. Detroit's offense vanished for the third(fourth?) straight game.

8. Boston beat Minnesota 2-1 in the shootout. Oh joy. Another shootout.

9. St. Louis beat Dallas 4-3 in the shootout. How about that? Another shootout!

10. Nashville beat Colorado 4-3 in overtime. At least it wasn't another shootout. Nashville is HOT right now.

11. Calgary beat Phoenix 2-1. Darn it! I need the Bryzgalov points for a win! Why couldn't you win for me?

12. LA beat Edmonton 3-1. Khabibulin did not play again, so he has to be hurt. I do not know what the injury is, though.

13. Anaheim beat Carolina 3-2. Yay! We passed Carolina in the standings! Also, Eric Staal made his return to the Carolina lineup and got an assist.

14. Chicago crushed San Jose 7-2. Hossa made his return and got 2 goals. A sign of things to come for the rest of the year, or just making the most of an off night for San Jose?

That is it for the scores. It was a busy night!

Watched the Blackhawk-Sharks game. The Blackhawks played as if it was a playoff game and the Sharks played as if it was, well a playoff game. The first two periods where played entirely in the sharks end, they made soft passes that were intercepted and when they did get the puck out of their end, had to shoot the it deep for a line change. Hawks first two goals were both short handed. Nabakof (sp) actually played well for the first half of the game. Hawks were the much better team.

I also think that Chicago scored either 3 or 4 short-handed goals in a row. That is some really crappy PP'ing on San Jose's part!

Only two games last night.

1. Ottawa beat Columbus 2-1. At least Columbus didn't get blown away this time.

2. Vancouver beat LA 4-1. Vancouver exploded for 3 goals in the third period to claim victory.

It'll be a busy weekend!

Wow. It's been a while since I've updated this thread. Anyone miss the updates?

Since not everyone has access to live action with regards to hockey(since not everyone lives in North America), I'll even update the scores for games from last Friday to last night.

FRIDAY NOV 27th's SCORES

1. New Jersey beat Boston 2-1 in the shootout. While it is nice that the Devils won, I am sure it would have been better had they won before regulation ended.

2. Buffalo beat Philadelphia 4-2. The main problem for Philly is that they are not able to score goals right now. I have also heard a lot of rumours that the players are tuning out their Head Coach(Stevens) and that changes may be happening on that front. If a Coach has lost the locker room, then that is usually the end of the line for the Coach.

3. The Islanders beat Pittsburgh 3-2. A bit of a shocker since Pittsburgh is so good, but the Islanders are a much better team than they were last year so it isn't a total surprise.

4. Minnesota beat Colorado 5-3. Colorado needs to wake up!

5. Anaheim beat Chicago 3-0. Getting shut out the first game after winning eight straight games is a little bit of a reality check I would say!

6. Atlanta beat Carolina 6-4. Carolina had a 4-1 lead going into the 3rd period, but fell apart in the end, giving up 5 unanswered goals. Ugly game!

7. Calgary beat Detroit 3-0. Apparently there was a goal for Detroit that was disallowed that should have counted, but as I did not see it I cannot say for certain if there is truth to this or if it just sour grapes by Detroit fans.

8. Tampa Bay beat the Rangers 5-1. The Rangers are in a tailspin right now. Their defense, goaltending, and offense(besides Gaborik and not counting the upcoming 7 goal game) is struggling. Heads will roll sooner rather than later if this keeps up.

9. Toronto beat Florida 6-4. YEAH!!!!! Kessel got two more goals. Sweet!

10. St. Louis beat Nashville 3-1. First victory for St. Louis in a while.

11. Phoenix beat Dallas 5-2. First time Phoenix has scored that many goals in quite a few games.

12. San Jose beat Edmonton 5-4 in the shootout. Edmonton has far too many injuries to really compete at their talent level and San Jose is a great team right now.

SATURDAY NOV 28th's SCORES

1. New Jersey smoked the Islanders 6-1. Even though the Devil's got bad news(losing Clarkson for 4-6 weeks due to a broken leg due to a Chara slapshot), they still played their A-game.

2. Boston beat Ottawa 4-3 in the shootout. Not a good sign for the night, shootout wise.

3. Buffalo beat Carolina 5-1. Carolina, AGAIN, had a lead going into the 3rd period but decided to fall apart again and give up 5 unanswered goals to Buffalo. Brutal team right now.

4. Washington beat Montreal 4-3 in the shootout. A double shot of bad news for Ila(but there will be some Ovechkin news in my Nov. 30th update!)

5. Atlanta beat Philadelphia 1-0. The Philly offense was shut down again, but it was due to a really hot goalie(Hedberg, returning from a long layoff due to injury). They peppered him with a lot of shots, but were unlucky to not get any past Hedberg.

6. Calgary beat Columbus 4-3 in the shootout. See? Another shootout. And there will be more in this update. *shudder*

7. Pittsburgh totally kicked the Ranger's ass 8-3. The Rangers are falling, falling, falling!

8. Detroit beat St. Louis 4-3(lots of 4-3 scores tonight!) in the, you guessed it, shootout.

9. Nashville beat Florida 4-1. Meh.

10. Dallas beat Tampa Bay 4-3. See? Another 4-3 score. Weird coincidence or something more?

11. Minnesota beat Colorado 3-2 in the shootout. Man, the shootout is like a freaking broken record tonight. Over and over and over and over....

12. Vancouver crushed Edmonton 7-3. Edmonton is floundering.

13. LA beat Chicago 2-1 in the freaking shootout! Thank freaking goodness this is the last game of the night, because I don't want to talk about another freaking shootout! ARGHHHHHHH! Well, at least Chicago didn't get shut out two games in a row...

SUNDAY NOV 29th's SCORES

1. Phoenix beat Anaheim 3-2 in overtime. At least it wasn't a shootout, thank goodness!

2. San Jose beat Vancouver 4-2. Dang. San Jose is good!

MONDAY NOV 30th's SCORES

Here we go! Finally going to get caught up! What is the big news about Ovechkin? Tune in to find out!

1. Buffalo beat Toronto 3-0. Dang it, no 3 game winning streak for my Leafs. At least they played well. Miller(Buffalo goalie) was really strong!

2. Pittsburgh beat the Rangers 5-2. The Rangers lose? Not a shock right now.

3. Washington beat Carolina 3-2. Here is the BIG NEWS. Ovechkin hit Tim Gleason knee-on-knee and left the game with an injury. While I never really want an injury bestowed upon a player, I will say that I feel perhaps he was hit with a little Karma. He has a couple of incidents where he got away with actions that would have warranted a suspension from a "non star" player. He was the one going for the hit, and he was the one who got hurt.

He also got a Game Misconduct penalty a couple of games ago, so it is not like it is his first brush with a potential meeting with Colin (no balls) Campbell.

It is unknown how much time he will miss, but we will find out soon enough I am sure.

4. Atlanta beat Florida 4-3(what, is this Saturday again with all the 4-3 scores?!?). Hedberg got the start again, which is sure to piss off Pavelec since he played so well while Hedberg was injured. Goalie controversies are never good.

5. Columbus beat St. Louis 5-2. Has Columbus finally turned a corner to winning?

6. Colorado beat Tampa Bay 3-0. Dang it! I needed points from St. Louis, Lecavalier, and Stamkos!!!

7. Detroit beat Dallas 4-1. Wings fans can breathe a sigh of relief, as Detroit finally won a game.

8. Calgary beat Nashville 5-0. Kiprusoff's second straight shutout. That sucks for me in the pool. Ugh.

Well, that is it for this long-winded report. Sorry for the delay fellow fans, but I hope you enjoyed reading it. Thanks!
