Saturday 11/24

Observations while doing laundry and cycling through the games on Center Ice Online........


Phoenix 5 Toronto 1: Two teams going in opposite directions early in the season. Phoenix has been playing well since acquiring Bryzgalov, who was solid again tonight, and the Leafs look like they need some major changes because they did not come to play...again

Calgary 5 Colorado 2: The Avs have looked either really good or really bad in their games so far. Calgary had no problem skating around their defense

Buffalo 3 Montreal 0: The Sabres definitely have the best play by play announcer in the league. This guy sounds about 70 years old and screams and sounds like he has a heart attack everytime the Sabres score. Thibault was brilliant in a must win road game for the struggling Sabres

Philadelphia 4 Ottawa 3: Best game of the night. Philly started to show a little more step than Ottawa midway through the second after taking the 4-3 lead.

Islanders 2 Boston 1: Poor teams with ugly jerseys that get no publicity. Former Michigan Wolverine Andy Hilbert nets his first goal of the year

Washington 5 Carolina 2: The Caps, who are 2-0 since firing their coach, net 3 power play goals against the division leaders. One thing I'm starting to notice about Ovechkin is that he overdramatically celebrates every single goal he scores. Settle down buddy and make the playoffs

Pittsburgh 5 Atlanta 0: This is the first time I've seen Atlanta goalie Ondrej Pavelec in action this season. Yup...................

New Jersey 3 Tampa Bay 2: Brodeur was absolutely brilliant in this one and the Devils fed off of it in the second period with 3 goals. I personally hope the Devils miss the playoffs again this year. It was nice not having them around.

Minnesota 4 Nashville 3: Always nice to see the Preds lose and their mostly ignorant fans go home unhappy

Edmonton 3 Chicago 2 (SO): Dwayne Roloson punches Patrick Kane in the waning seconds of overtime, then stones him en route to victory...HA! It's weird having an interest in Blackhawk games now that they're actually competing.

Los Angeles 2 San Jose 1: California teams.....yawn.......Oh, didn't one win the cup last year?
