A few more team advanced to the next round of the playoffs over the weekend, but not the defending champs. The Dallas Stars took out the Ducks in 6 games, and join the Avalanche and the Red Wings coming out of the West. Kipper forced game 7 for Calgary as the Flames shut out the [...]
Come on Boston, just roll over already! Why are you trying so hard, Philly, don’t you know the league wants Ovechkin to advance? Why did Brian Campbell suddenly become competent again? UGH.
I watched a fair bit of the games last night, except for the part of the Calgary/San Jose game where I fell asleep (stupid late games). The Rangers/Devils game helped me come to a decision on which team I want to win…the Devils, as I don’t ever want Sean Avery to win another game in [...]
Three series are underway in the East, with Montreal, Pittsburgh and the New York Rangers all holding a 1-0 lead. Montreal scored twice in the first two minutes (one each from the Kostitsyns) and took the body on the supposedly more physical Bruins. I’d vote the Bruins most likely team to get swept if the [...]
The Buffalo Sabres ended their season on a high note, shutting out the Boston Bruins 3-0. Jocelyn Thibault got the shutout, and Thomas Vanek (thanks to some unselfish play from Derek Roy) had all three goals for the natural hat trick. Coach Ruff had the team playing a boring, defensive game to make a point [...]
…as did New Jersey, although they let Boston get a loser point. Buffalo still has a shot at the playoffs with the losses by Philly (in a very rough game with Pittsburgh) and Boston. The Sabres must take care of business tonight in Montreal, looks like Jaro Spacek might be back. Great soundbite from him [...]
For at least one more day. Buffalo got the win in OT, but the loser point for Boston takes some of the margin for error that the Sabres have. They HAVE to win all their games, and hope that the teams ahead of them start losing in regulation. For the full playoff scenario, go here.
I [...]
If you were wondering just how many games have been lost due to injury for your favorite team this year, James Mirtle has compiled the list (from data at one of the NHL’s sites) here. You can see that teams like Boston and Carolina do have a leg to stand on with their playing of [...]
Ryan Miller stopped 30 shots, and Toni Lydman’s power play goal was the difference as Buffalo won 4-2 and TD Banknorth Garden last night. Miller showed no ill effects from his knee injury, moving wel to make all he necessary saves. Paille got things started right, with a nifty redirection for his first of two goals [...]
The Sabres are in Boston tonight for a game against the Bruins. It’s the first of 14 games in 25 nights, but the majority will be at home. Still, Max should be back tomorrow, Stafford and Spacek are good for tonight, and Miller dodged the injury bullet. A win tonight would be big for the [...]
