I dfidn't see the first half and was 5- zip when i got home from the store and the part of the game i saw the goaltender appeared to not care and just wanted the game to end as he didn't even try to block a shot
Conspearecy theory
Flyers lost like five games in a row while the Devils have been on a tear so i think the Flyers are wearing Devils jerseys and playing as the Devils and the Devils are playing as the Flyers now you know how and way the 7- zip game today

Nah, there's no conspiracy. They've just been on top for so long that they've let the foot off the gas a bit. They just need to get back into top gear and play like every game matters.

Kovalchuk: 1 goal & 1 assist.

The Devils stole another extra point in a six-round shootout.

...only 8pts behind 8th in the East.

I lived in Kansas City for a few years a long time ago. It was only a couple of years after the Scouts had moved to Colorado. I was quite vocal about being a Bruins fan, and I must say that I never found a single person who a) gave a rat's ass about hockey or b) even remembered that Kansas City had recently had a hockey team!

What would there reaction have been if you were as vocal about the RED SOX? as it sounds like you were there where the Royals were a top team

Leave it to you, Jen, to catch that ...

By "vocal," I mean I talked about hockey when sports came up. And yes, the Royals were doing well. I went to lots of games at that ridiculous stadium with the fountains, and never missed a game when the Sox were in town. But rooting for a different team than the Royals while in Kansas City does not result in the death threats and invective that Phillies fans would inflict!

They better not get a team before Winnipeg.

What a horrifying hit by Chara. I think that he will probably be getting a suspension for it. I thought Pacioretty had broken his neck! Scary, scary indeed!

You are absolutely correct to use the word "horrifying," and I have no problem calling out even a member of my beloved Bruins for a dirty hit. However, having looked at the replay several times now, I think that while horrifying this was not dirty. It was big, but it didn't come from behind Pacioretty. Chara was skating along the boards and at the side of Pacioretty, and to finish a check leaned on him very heavily. Pacioretty's head and neck snapped against the stanchion -- and that wa indeed horrifying and very, very scary.

Chara is not even remotely known as a dirty player. He does battle for position, and uses his size (he's a good 7 inches taller than Pacioretty).

While Habs coach Jacques Martin has been insisting it was a dirty hit and has called for the league to review the tape, I think the tape doesn't lie.

However, I think Chara will get a suspension anyway. Why? The league has been so inconsistent about this growing problem that it will see an opportunity to look tough -- an opportunity it cannot pass up. And this will be exacerbated by the size difference between Chara and Pacioretty, which will make it even easier to defend a suspension.

I hope Pacioretty is okay!

I can't think of a more deserving name for him than Buttman, as that is what his head is shoved up the majority of the time!
