Well at least it's an improvement on Sunday's 7-1 thrashing by Atlanta. (Devils outshot Caps 36-28 )

That's 9 straight losses on the road.

At least we're still only 18pts behind 8th place in the East.

I guess that's one way for Washington to stop a losing streak. Sorry that it had to be your team, dauls.

Only a few scores from last night(the ones that matter to us).

1. Washington beat New Jersey 5-1.

2. Dallas beat Montreal 5-2. I hope that ila can take solace in the fact that they lost to a very good team. Dallas is in 2nd place in the entire League with 45 points(only Philadelphia has more with 49 points). If Dallas can keep this up, they could be ones to watch out for in the playoffs(and keep Brad Richards from getting traded to the Leafs unfortunately).

3. San Jose beat Edmonton 2-1. Good news for our Sharks fans, but not so much good news for Jennifer.

I have tickets for tomorrow night's Bruins - Thrashers game at Boston Garden. I wish all my hockey friend fans from the Forum could join me for a night at the rink!

Let's just hope that Boston gives Atlanta a thrashing.

Yes, a 7-1 scoreline sounds about right to me.

Anyway on Thursday it's the NHL's 'Big Basement-Team Match-up': the 30th placed Islanders come to New Jersey to take on the positively, high-flying 29th placed Devils. It should be a sell-out.

The Devils better be careful! The Islanders beat Tampa Bay tonight 2-1 in overtime!

Pittsburgh beat Florida(YAY!) 5-2. Crosby got another point(a goal) and has not gotten points in 22 straight games! I am not sure, but I think the record is 30 straight games. He now has 28 goals and 30 assists in only 35 games! Unfortunately, I don't think he is going to reach the 50 goals in 50 games plateau this year.

...trailing 3-0 to the fg Islanders - a new low point for the Devils this season.

Boston is ahead 4-1 with 7:23 left in the 3rd period, so it looks like they are going to do just that. Smc will be quite pleased with that result.

The game is over and Boston won 4 - 1. smc is going to be happy.

In other news (otherwise known as the only other game that I was interested in tonight) it was Montreal 3 - 2 over Carolina.

What a great night of hockey! A fight on the initial face off at 19:58 of the 1st period. Thornton almost scoring a hat trick. And then a 5-on-5 fight with about 4:30 left in the 3rd period. Awesome.

Best new T-shirt being sold outside Boston Garden:

Canadiens Are "Eh" Holes

Sorry, ila, but I laughed out loud.

I will be there in spirit, rooting for the Bruins to give their opponents an ass-kicking as an early Christmas present.
