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!

Montreal beat Ottawa tonight 4-1 even though they were heavily out-shot. Halak got the victory for the Habs.

Here are all the scores from the Dec 8th games.

1. Philadelphia beat the Islanders 6-2. While it is good news for Philly that they got a solid win, it has to be tempered by the news that they will be without the services of goaltender Ray Emery for six weeks due to surgery on an abdominal tear. He tried playing through the pain, and that was probably the reason for his poor play of late. Hopefully he'll make a complete recovery. Richards had 2 goals and an assist, Carter had 2 goals, Giroux had 2 goals, and Hartnell had 2 assists. A lot less chippy affair than the game against Washington.

2. Montreal beat Ottawa 4-1. Halak was the main star here, making 45 saves. Kovalev had 1 shot on net and 0 points in his return against his old team. I wonder. Does Montreal miss him?

3. Nashville beat Vancouver 4-2. Martin Erat had a hat-trick against the Canucks.

4. Anaheim beat Dallas 4-3 in overtime. First Anaheim victory in quite a while.

Tonight is packed full of games. Daul's team(the Devils) plays against Carolina. I expect Cam Ward to be in net for Carolina, as they activated him off of IR yesterday. As long as New Jersey doesn't take the game for granted, they should win.

My team(the Leafs) play the Islanders tonight. Again, if they play a good, smart game, then we should be able to win. If they play undisciplined, then the Islanders can make them pay dearly!

Here are the scores from Dec 9th's games.

1. Buffalo beat Washington 3-0. Tough feat to pull off, but Miller was able to do it. This is his 4th shutout of the year.

2. Toronto beat the Islanders 3-2. It wasn't pretty, but I'll take the win! They are right in the thick of things now!

3. New Jersey beat Carolina 4-2. Was really close for a while there, but Carolina reverted back to type. I wonder when Ward will get his next victory?

4. Columbus beat Florida 3-0. Shutout #2.

5. Edmonton beat Tampa Bay 3-2. Edmonton is playing better now.

6. St. Louis beat Detroit 1-0. Shutout #3.

7. Chicago beat the Rangers 2-1 in overtime. New York deserved to lose this game as they were horribly outshot and took way more penalties than Chicago. If you don't score more than 1 goal a game, more often than not you will lose.

8. Minnesota beat Colorado 1-0. Shutout #4.

9. Calgary beat Atlanta 3-1.

10. LA beat San Jose 5-4 in overtime. Close game!

Toronto 7-2-1 in their last 10! What has happened to them? Have they arranged a new win bonus scheme with the owners?

Following that nightmare 5-2 loss to the Canucks, it's four wins on the bounce for the Devils. A 4-2 win looks OK, but the 4th goal was only scored in an empty net the dying seconds, and the 'Canes are the worst team in the NHL.

I wonder how long it will take Brodeur to bag shutout #104? I can't believe he only has two shutouts this season.

Considering how the Phillies are activly trying to get Roy Halladay, I can well imagine why you can't wait.

Bad night for both Jen and myself, as both our teams stunk.

Toronto got beat AGAIN by Boston 5-2(1 goal was an empty net goal). The Leafs seem to forget how to play hockey against Boston and that really ticks me off.

Ottawa shutout Philadelphia 2-0(1 goal was an empty net goal). Not a lot of shots on net for Philly and they were shutout again.

Where's the Tums?
