Shutout #115 for Brodeur -- it's made easier when he only needs to save 13 shots.

New Jersey has a game on hand against the Rangers, but even with that it will be very hard to reach them.

Damn Buffalo with an OT loss today, following on from their 8-2 thrashing of Atlanta last night.

Unfortunately for us, the Rangers and Sabres have found a bit of good form this month.

...ten games left and only 7pts behind 8th in the East.

Just popping in to say that I want Detroit. Two points ahead of the sharks now.

It's going to be a crazy end to a crazy regular season. I don't know about you, but our last 8 games are in our division, and with the race so tight almost anything can happen. With that scenario it looks like at least one team in the pacific won't make the playoffs. Could be anyone.

Logan Couture, your 2011 NHL rookie of the year, crashed into the boards chasing the puck on the forecheck, and was carried into the dressing room in the last game against the Blues. Replays looked like he broke his knee or something; Horrible and ugly twisty thing. He's listed as day-to-day, and he's young, so maybe he'll be back. We need him!

I hate the shootout, too! And I'd take Pat's over Geno's any day!!

As the Bruins announcers said on the TV tonight, Montreal was "on the wrong side of a spanking" (which I guess might not be the case if you're into that sort of thing ).

Boston 7, Habs 0. The Bruins had a 3-0 lead at the end of the 1st period. They scored the seventh goal with two guys in the penalty box. They have pulled ahead by 5 points in the Northeast Division, and the Canadiens have only 7 games left.

A message game? To quote a famous hockey mom (who's good for nothin' else): "You betcha!"

^Montreal is just letting Boston build up some confidence in themselves. From now on until the end of the season Montreal will show Boston how hockey is really played.

I'm not sure he's a lock for ROTY. Skinner from Carolina could also win(Hall may have had a chance before getting a season-ending injury).

Some Montreal fans(thankfully the majority of Montreal fans don't think this) seem to think that PK Subban will win it all. I don't see that happening to be honest.

I would like James Reimer to win it, but I don't think he will(or if he even played enough games to be eligible).

There's really good parity in the league; almost too much. It's no surprise that the ROTY is close. It often is though.

Trash talk aside, I think it's between Skinner and Couture. Logan, to me, is clearly better when you look at the complete game. He's tough in all three zones. He doesn't just get to the net, he's working hard on defense.

Tough for a rookie goalie, especially for a Leafs goalie. :-)

Sorry Shadows, I shouldn't drink and post...

Logan got two more last night in our fourth four goal victory over the amazing Coyotes. They get such little fan support and are constantly surrounded by distractions of trades. I don't know how they do it (besides great coaching and net minding). It's like watching 300. I expect Shane Doan to yell "Sparta!" soon.

It's posible that we'd face them in the first round. If so, we'd play seven games in a month against them. Crazy.

I would think that the Sharks would not want to face either Anaheim or Chicago(both teams that seem to be very hot right now). Who knows? The West is so tight right now, that this could happen!

Yep. Buffalo and the Rangers picked a lousy time to go on a hot streak. Carolina won tonight as well, but I am not too worried about them.

The Devils lost tonight and I honestly think that pretty much cooked their goose. They are now 9 points behind Buffalo for 8th spot(with 9 games left). Toronto still has a (very) slim chance by winning tonight, and they remain 5 points behind Buffalo(the Buffalo/Toronto game on the 29th could be make or break, depending on how they do beforehand!).
