I was enjoying the hockey until 2010 smacked the Devils in the face and stole their ability to defend for a full 60 minutes.

Seems like the best way to play the Devils at the moment is to give them a 2-0 lead and watch them fold.

I'll be glad when we see that back of the Flyers this season they have a 4-1-0 record against us.

ila, did you watch the Habs-Caps game last night? That 3rd period must have been agony. And scoring an OT winner with only 8 seconds left was a great way to end the Caps 14-game winning streak. At least it saved you the torture of a shootout.

I'm afraid that I missed it. I saw the game in the tv listings, but I got involved watching other programs and completely forgot about it.

It looks like Montreal wasn't the only team that could not hold a lead against Washington, as Ottawa had the same thing happen to them last night(except that the game ended in regulation this time). Ottawa had a 3-1 lead at one point, and then it was 4-3 Washington! Ottawa scored 3 more in a row to make it 6-4 and Washington almost came back. That is two games in a row that the defense of Washington has disappeared.

Varlamov's return to net after missing a long period of time due to injury was not a pretty one.

Talk about a nail-biter. The Bruins scored 4 goals in the 1st period against Tampa Bay, and end up squeaking by with a 5-4 win. It's almost as if they've bought into the notion that they must collapse in the 3rd period just to be consistent with their recent extended streak of losses!

Whew!

Amazingly enough, that was Boston's third straight win.

Shhhhh, don't jinx it. The players don't know they've been winning.

Boston can win all the games they want as long as it's fewer than Montreal.
