Great win for the Bruins. 3-1, with one goal wrongly disallowed due to a ref whistle when the puck was literally loose in the air.
2 short-handed goals, 1 on a penalty shot. |

Ducks/Jets tonight! Final game for Teemu in Winnipeg! I will be cheering loud from section 202!
Only issue is our babysitter doesn't get here until 6:30 and the game starts at 7:00. Gonna be tight...

Flyers have fired Peter Laviolette, per a source. Replacing him with Craig Berube. Press conference at 11am. |

I don't understand moves like this.
If his hold on the job was that slim that 3 games were make or break, should have happened in the offseason.

Very true. Definitely smacks of Snider urgency. Honestly, Holmgren should be let go as well so Hexy can start making his imprint. Fact of the matter is that the current team is not built to play Lavy's system. Defense is too slow and not great at the transition game - forwards can skate and hit but haven't been working as a unit, especially entering the zone. Seems like they might have been tuning him out - I'm happy for a change. |

Reading at HF, apparently Snider went bonkers at the press conference.
Was asked why his teams have had more coaches over the last 20 years (11) than any other team in the league, and he blew a gasket. A second question was why hire a guy (apparently, no interim tag for Berube, and has a "multi year deal") who has been part of the last 4 coaching regimes...and he went bananas. Hoping a YouTube surfaces

Ducks recovered from the seaosn opening shellacking by the Crazy Roys by taking four points from two road games in Minny and Winnepeg. Now they head home for the home opener against the Rangers tomorrow night. Should be a fun game.

That was as brutal a 2 minute sequence for one player as I've ever seen (obviously not Steve Smith or Chris Phillips scoring Stanley cup winning goal into own net bad in the grand scheme of things but still).

Quick obviously felt bad for Bogosian and didn't want him to be on the blooper reel for more than one night

Just got to work and saw the replay. That was rough. The Rangers' 2nd goal was off a Kings' stick too, but not nearly as bad.

Marc Andre Fleury probably has this cued up in the locker room this morning, showing everyone and saying "But I never did THIS!"

Quicky actually allowed a worse one than that once at UMass. Same scenario (clearance from a man-down unit) except it was about half that speed and actually beat him 5-hole. Guy's amazing (especially his glove hand), and one of our 2 best players ever, but he was an adventure outside of the crease.

That goal would only be better if Torts was still in NY, and called him arrogant afterwards.

Sure was arrogant. That move should only be allowed to be performed by hulking Czech defensemen in shootouts.

I've got to admit, even as a Sharks fan who loved the hell out of the goal it seemed almost excessively show-boat-y. Can you imagine how hard he'd be taking it if he missed that shot? |

As a Rangers fan I had no problem with it: just stop the shot. I could see the criticism being a little stronger though because he already had a hat trick, kind of like a "...and for my next trick..." |

FTR, I didn't find it out of line. But I know Torts would have blown a gasket. I took it as more of a "this will really fool the goalie and increase my chances" than "I'm going to make this guy look completely awful!".

I love that quote, it's been cracking me up for the last 24 hours. I also love that someone suggested a new nickname: Strokin' Joe Thornton :P

When is Claude Noel going to learn that starting Pavelec in back-to-back games is a bad idea? I'm not saying Pavy cost them the game tonight (there is plenty of blame to go around yet again), but he did let in a couple that I think he should have stopped. There is overwhelming statistical evidence over the past 2+ seasons showing Pavelec's Save % dropping dramatically in the second game of a back to back, and yet Noel continues to throw him out there. What's the point of even having Al Montoya? He's not a bad backup, throw him out there once in awhile.
I'm pretty much of the opinion that Noel is holding this team back at this point. They aren't built to be contenders, but they can (and should) be better.

Well at least the Wings can hold onto a lead against a team from Boston.

I'm still confused over something I saw in the Rangers game last night.
NBC Sports starts talking about Derick Brassard and the strong play he put together after the trade from Columbus last season. Then they put up a graphic with his name/headshot that says "First game vs Capitals since trade from Columbus on April..." For one, let's forget about the fact that he participated in every game of a great seven game series with the Caps a month after that trade, which makes that all pointless anyway. Or that it wasn't even like anyone else on the Rangers played a game against the Caps since that trade, even excluding the playoffs. But besides all of that, I'm still racking my brain trying to figure out the point they were trying to make. Stumped. |

And BTW that's three consecutive shutouts of the Caps by Hank dating back to Game 6 of the first round.

Guessing it was more of "This guy has played against Washington before in the regular season, but only as a Blue Jacket. Now he's playing them in the regular season as a Ranger"? But agree....why does it matter?

Hybrid icing claimed its first victim tonight. No, nobody got hurt, but a freak bounce of the puck off the boards directed puck into Leaf goalie Jonathan Bernier's skate and bounced in as a game-winning goal for Carolina. This was because Radek Dvorak edged out a Leaf defender on a race to the dots in the opinion of the officials. The puck wasn't blown dead for icing and the odd bounce from the boards took care of the rest. The goal would have counted under the old icing system anyway, but I think Bernier would have been more active and less casual about playing it if he knew it was live.

While I rarely care about the opposing coach, I thought it was very fitting that the Red Wings give Patrick Roy his first career lost as a NHL head coach.

Glad Kronwall is ok after the cheap shot he took from behind against Colorado. What actually angers me about the entire thing is not so much the hit itself (hockey players take care of their own, right? Right?), but rather the idiotic comments of the Avalanche announcer Mike Haynes:

How to mismanage the salary cap, Washington style:
Nearly 20% of the cap is spent on forwards currently playing on the third and fourth lines. About 35% of the cap is spent on Ovi, Backstrom and Green. The remaining 45% covers 5 top 6 defensemen, 4 top 6 forwards and 2 goalies.
