Saturday 2/22

It's been a few weeks since I've gone through a fun round of Saturday games! Although it pains me to say this, my NHL Center Ice Online games stream better and smoother since I switch to Comcast internet from WOW last week.

New Jersey 4 Islanders 2: The Devils are by far the quietest good team in the NHL. It was a very sad performance by the Islanders in the third period, allowing 2 goals and 20 shots against. I don't think we'll be seeing hockey in late April on Long Island this year.

Ottawa 4 Pittsburgh 3 (OT): So many comebacks these days. The Pens blew a 3-0 lead and Stillman, Alfredsson and Heatley stepped up and got two big points for the Sens, who have the Canadians breathing down their necks for the division lead.

Chicago 6 Los Angeles 5 (OT): Who would've thought the battle of rejects would be the game of the night. The Hawks had a 5-1 lead in the third and a 5-3 lead with 1:07 left. WHAT'S WITH ALL THE BLOWN LEADS!

Carolina 6 Washington 3: I'm very disappointed with the Caps lately, who are a team I've been touting as a playoff contender. Since my last ass kissing of them they've dropped to 5 points back of a playoff spot. They surrendered 3 power play goals in this one. Not good boys..............

Rangers 4 Buffalo 3: It was the Rangers' role players that scored them this victory. Goals by Dawes, Dubinsky and Avery with the game winner.

Toronto 3 Atlanta 1: Mark Recchi has been absolutely incredible since being signed by the Thrashers. Too bad he had their only goal tonight. These teams aren't going anywhere anyway.

Florida 2 Philadelphia 1 (OT): Craig Andersen was a beast in net tonight for the Panthers and single-handedly won this game for Florida with 40 saves. And it was a big performance to help keep the Panthers' slim playoff hopes alive. As for Philly, I haven't realized until tonight how terrible the Flyers have been playing! 0-8-2 in their last 10 and now in the 9th spot. WOW. They had this game won and then Jay Bouwmeester scores with 4 seconds left. Those sad, sad Flyer fans......They were standing and applauding the potential end to their losing streak when they scored. Hahahaha.......

Columbus 3 Montreal 0: Nice shutout by Leclaire with 31 saves. Nice to see the Jackets hanging around the playoff hunt.

Boston 5 Tampa Bay 3: I'm very interested to see if the Lightning do anything big at the trade deadline. A lot of bad goals allowed by Auld and Holmqvist. Tampa and Boston's jersey on the same ice make for an ugly combination. Can't watch anymore............

Dallas 6 Nashville 3: Man...Dallas is looking good these days. Hell, they could catch the Wings if the Wings aren't careful! Nice 2 goal performance by unknown Loui Eriksson.
