I still say there shouldn't be overtime during regular season games. There was no overtime in the original NHL and it was only brought in to attract hockey fans in nontraditional markets.

shadows seems to be missing so I'll give a recap of the scores for last night (for the games that I care about )

Montreal thrashed Carolina 7 - 2.

Ottawa beat Boston 2 - 0. What's happening with the Bruins lately, smc. Have they forgotten that there is a full season to be played?

Bad news for shadows as his Leafs went down to defeat against Vancouver 5 - 3. It's time to jump aboard the Canadiens bandwagon, shadows, or maybe the Hamilton Bulldogs.

As Jen has already posted, Philadelphia won last night. They beat Florida 5 - 2.

Damned if I can explain how any major league-level hockey team can lose to Ottawa.

I remember "Lucky Luke" from when he played for the Leafs. No parent should ever have to go through this. Rest in peace, Daron.

Article is from tsn.ca:

TEENAGE DAUGHTER OF SENATORS' ASSISTANT RICHARDSON DIES

OTTAWA -- The teenage daughter of Ottawa Senators assistant coach Luke Richardson has died.

Daron Richardson, 14, was rushed to hospital Friday, the team said in a statement Saturday.

"There was an accident at their home (Friday) and Daron tried to take her life by hanging," the statement read. "Her mother found her in the basement, and Daron was rushed to the hospital by ambulance where she remained in critical condition in ICU until she succumbed to her injuries."

Luke Richardson played 21 seasons in the NHL with Toronto, Edmonton, Philadelphia, Columbus, Tampa Bay and Ottawa.

He retired in 2008, finishing with 35 goals and 166 assists in 1,417 games.

He was not with the team when it shut out the Bruins 2-0 in Boston on Saturday night. Asked about Richardson, coach Cory Clouston choked back tears and walked away.

"It's a difficult time," forward Chris Kelly said after the game in Boston. "It puts things into perspective. We just play a game, and things like that ... I don't know."

Goalie Brian Elliott said the team found out before the morning skate that Daron Richardson had been taken to the hospital.

"It's just a bad situation," he said. "Our thoughts are prayers are with him. You never want that to happen to anybody. We just ... our thoughts are behind the family."

And it looks like the bad news continues for Markov of the Montreal Canadiens. Again, from tsn.ca.

REPORT: MARKOV TO MISS UP TO 3 MONTHS WITH KNEE INJURY

The Montreal Canadiens might have to get used to playing without defenceman Andrei Markov for quite some time.

Citing unconfirmed reports, the Montreal Gazette speculates that Markov could be out of the Canadiens lineup for up to three months after suffering an injury to his surgically repaired knee during Saturday's blowout victory over the Carolina Hurricanes.

The 31-year old Russian blueliner suffered the injury when he collided knee-on-knee with Hurricanes' captain Eric Staal late in the third period. Markov punched the boards in frustration and had to be helped off the ice by teammates. He was unable to put any weight on his leg as he headed to the dressing room.

He was scheduled to undergo an MRI on Sunday to determine the extent of the injury.

It would be a devastating loss for the Canadiens who have been playing their best hockey of the season since Markov returned to the lineup on October 30th. In seven games so far this season Markov has a goal and two assists.

Man, that guy has had some seriously bad luck with his knees in the past few seasons.

Once again the Devils were consistent and lost each period 1-0.
