Those old NHL boys can't be trusted to stay retired, can they?

That's the truth. Next thing we'll hear about is Gretzky coaching Toronto. Well, at least that would make shadows happy.

I'm with Jen on this, of course.

Sharks have won five straight and have been on fire since the All Star break. Eager and Wellwood are fitting in nicely. They have no injuries.

They are currently on a swing through the East to pick up some points. They shutout the Bs and the Caps. NJ is next.

Couture got the game winner in DC to pass Ovi for the most Game-winning-goals this year and to set the NHL record for most GWG by a rookie. He leads all offensive rookie stats in the league and is the clear favorite for the Calder trophy.

On the other hand, the entire Pacific division might make the playoffs. Detroit, Nashville, and Vancouver are the others at this point. It's insane how tight it is out west so anything can happen. 14 teams have a pretty reasonable shot at it. I just want to avoid overtime games to keep the points down.

Bruins 8, Canadiens 6! What a game last night.

Besides being a game with serious implications in the division (the Bruins now have a 4-point lead and a game in hand), it was simply epic. There were eight goals in the second period (evenly split between the Bs and the Habs). Seven of them came in 6:19! And there was enough fighting that Tim Thomas and Carey Price were even involved.

I'm sorry I missed a few minutes just walking home from the pub, where I was watching, before the second period was over. This was the kind of game where you don't even get up to use the bathroom!

Only fond memories of the 1960s make Leafs fans happy.

Devils tied the game at 2-2 with only 2:54 left in the third. Then we stole the extra point with an OT win, and closed the gap to the 8th placed Hurricanes to only 15pts -- with 28 games to go!
