Funny pics, dauls. Thanks for the laughs, as I can certainly use them after the horrible showing by my Leafs last night.

Here are the scores from the Dec 5th games. A couple of us are not happy with our team's performances last night!

1. As mentioned in my earlier mini-report, Carolina beat Vancouver 5-3. Raycrap lived up to his name.

2. Also mentioned in an earlier mini-report, Edmonton beat Dallas 3-2 in the shootout.

3. St. Louis beat LA 5-4 in the shootout. Ugly game for goalies, with an ugly ending...the shootout. Speaking of ugly, we now go to...

4. Boston crushed Toronto 7-2. Very bad game for Toronto all around. Kessel ended up being -3 for the night against his former team, and both MacDonald and Toskala(argggghhhhh!!!!) let in a bunch of goals. I would like to erase this memory forever! Can anyone help me to find some happiness?:D

5. The Rangers beat Buffalo 2-1. Lundqvist almost got a shutout, but coughed it up with less than a minute left in the third period. Thanks you loaf! I didn't need that 5 extra points for the pool, now did I?

6. New Jersey beat Detroit 4-3 in the shootout. I am sure that dauls will take the win, but I am sure he wishes it was by any other means besides the shit...I mean, shootout.

7. Here is another game that I wish that I didn't have to mention. Washington beat Philadelphia 8-2. Carcillo took a penalty that cost Philly the game. Washington received a NINE MINUTE PowerPlay due to his actions, and Washington scored 3 times on it. Hopefully someone can link what happened as I could not see it from work. Backstrom had 1 goal and 4 assists and Mike Green had 2 goals and 2 assists. I am sure Jen would like to follow me in erasing the games that our teams played tonight from her memory.

8. Atlanta beat Florida 2-1 in the shootout. Another shootout. Makes me want to poke my eyes out with a hot poker. Actually, the Leaf game made me want to do that. All the shootouts just made me ill.

9. Colorado beat Columbus 3-2. Another game, another Columbus loss. Same old, same old.

10. Chicago beat Pittsburgh 2-1 in overtime. Crosby sat this game out with a sore groin.

11. Tampa Bay beat the Islanders 4-0.

12. Minnesota beat Nashville 5-3. Havlat finally got a couple of points tonight. He has been a bust for Minnesota this year.

13. Phoenix beat Ottawa 3-2. Bryzgalov was sharp again.

14. Calgary beat San Jose 2-1. In a rare showing, neither Heatley or Thornton got any points in this game.

That's it for this day. I am going to go sulk in the corner due to the horrible Leaf game last night. Anyone care to join me?

It is unlikely ever to happen again. Does that help erase the memory. This Bruins fan is happy to help.

Maybe a little.

The 5-2 victory last night over Atlanta helped as well.:D

Here are the scores from Dec 7th's games.

1. New Jersey beat Buffalo 3-0. While the win is nice, the shutout is of more importance. Brodeur has now tied Terry Sawchuk for the most shutouts of all time! It may be time for a happy dance from dauls.happydance.gif

2. Toronto beat Atlanta 5-2. Toronto scored all of their goals in the second period, and Toskala(surprisingly enough!) played well for the most part. I'm definitely doing the happy dance now!!happydance.gif happydance.gif

3. Montreal beat Philadelphia(what are the odds that all four of our teams would be the first three mentioned on NHL.com?) 3-1. Jen is probably not doing the happy dance.sad2.gif I hope they win soon. Also, the shots per game were pretty bad for both teams. Montreal only had 13 shots on net, while Philadelphia only had 15 shots on net. Judging from that, it may not have been the most entertaining game to watch.

4. Carolina beat Pittsburgh 3-2. Second win in a row for Carolina, and a win against a very good team!

5. Washington beat Tampa Bay 3-0. For Jen, this is a case of "damned if you do, damned if you don't" since both teams are disliked.

6. Edmonton beat Florida 3-2 in the shootout. Notice the hatred that exudes from my words as I type the word 'shootout'.

7. Colorado beat St. Louis 4-0. I guess they didn't want Brodeur getting the only shutout of the night.

8. Phoenix beat Minnesota 2-0. Another shutout. Considering how there weren't too many games played, there were an amazing amount of shutouts! Four games out of nine to be exact!

9. LA beat Calgary 2-1. LA only managed 16 shots on net, so they are lucky they won the game.

I started to watch the game, but I didn't watch for long. There was a fight, over absolutely nothing, less than 3 minutes into the game. Philadelphia opened the scoring. Montreal was really playing poorly; Philadelphia had definitely outplayed them by the time the first goal was scored. I turned the channel shortly after that to watch a science program (what a nerd I am!).

Sorry, Jen. This is one game I would have preferred to see end in a tie.

Jen will at least be happy to know that Philly crushed the Islanders tonight. They won 6-2!

Depending on the score difference and who Montreal played against, it could be either one of those illustrations that you posted. :D

Carcillo has been suspended four games for his actions in the game last night.

Only two games yesterday.

1. Detroit beat the Rangers 3-1. One of the goals was an empty netter, so both goalies played well. From the sounds of it, the Detroit goalie(Howard) was excellent. Rangers are having trouble finding goals right now.

2. Ottawa beat Anaheim 4-3 in the shootout. Anaheim losing is good for my Leafs as they are still only 2 points ahead of Toronto in total league standings.

A lot more games on tonight, including the teams for Ila, Jen, dauls, and myself.

Philadelphia plays Montreal tonight, so either way a member here is going to be on the wrong side score-wise. No offense Ila, but I hope that Philly wins as they are worse off than Montreal is at this time, and could use the win more. Plus, it would make Jen happy and that is a good thing.

Toronto plays Atlanta. That could be a tough one. I hope they can manage to pull away with a victory, but Atlanta has a lot of firepower!

New Jersey plays Buffalo. That will be a good game, especially if Brodeur and Miller are playing to their full capabilities. A low-scoring game is probably in the makings.

At least the Flyers didn't lose last night but then you can never tell with them At times i wish they would just play crappy for a whole season so they can just rebulid as they have been a middle of the pack team for awhile

Devils 3-0, and Brodeur ties the shutout record (he's getting greedy with these records).

Toronto... what about that 2nd period.

shadows, your hope for the Flyers-Canadiens game must've had ila's mouse hovering over that ban button.

Happy dance time again for 3 out of 4 of us. I think Bender Bending Rodríguez can have the honour this time.
