Steve Bernier scores the sole goal with 40 seconds left in the NJ-BUF game, saving the Devils from another guaranteed embarrassment in the shootout.

They should have just brought back the old conference names so they wouldn't have to worry about geography. There's also the added benefit of having them stand out from the other sports leagues. If they go with the names they should update them too the Gretzky (Pacific) Howie (Central) Orr (Atlantic) Brodeur or Sawchuk or Roy (Metro) No on the names because you'll always have a rival that doesn't want to hang the Orr name or the Gretzky name on their division banners.

Bryzgalov third game in.
INJURED!
Proof that everyone gets injured when playing for the Oilers. Even the most non injury proned players. Except for Penner. Wait why didn't Edmonton go after Penner during this free agency? Look at how well he's playing right now in Anaheim. I can't believe we gave up Smid for a goalie for three games who probably won't re sign here after.

It seems like his best days are when he's paired with Getzlaf and Perry.

You know your team is the softest biggest pushovers in the league if Perron is your grittiest player

Henrik Lundqvist agrees to a 7 year extension to stay with the Rangers. $8.5 million per. Ranger for life now. 284 wins since he debuted in the 05-06 season. Hopefully when all is said and done, he'll join Brodeur and Roy in the 500-win club.

Haven't GM 'a learned from the luongo/Schneider controversary to never overpay a aging goalie a long expensive contract?

Why the f*** is Tim Sestito and Cam Janssen playing tonight while Josefson is scratched? And to a lesser extent Tedenby?

Josefson and Tedenby suck. Granted, so do Janssen and Sesito, but Janssen can at least thug it up and Sesito hasn't been terrible lately.
Devils lost in another shootout, but if this loss has a silver lining beyond getting a point out of it, it's the debut of Reid Boucher. For his first NHL game, he looked great. Got his first point off an assist to Ryder and the first and so far only shootout goal for the Devils this season (which is really sad).
As bad as this team looks at times, the young talent we have in Gelinas, Merrill, and Boucher is really promising.

This is why I can't stand being a Oiler's fan. Two days ago lose to Phoenix 6-2. Tonight lead Colorado 7-2.
Edit: Now 8-2. Hall with Hat Trick.

Can't recall two dirtier incidents on the same shift than Neal's knee on Marchand and Thornton's slew foot/assault of Orpik tonight.
Nasty stuff.

And we're 3-0 against the Rangers so far. Cam Janssen also got another goal. Somehow.

But had the refs not missed a blatant interference call/borderline dirty hit on the first shift of the game where Erickson was taken out of the game *maybe* that doesnt happen.

But had the refs not missed a blatant interference call/borderline dirty hit on the first shift of the game where Erickson was taken out of the game *maybe* that doesnt happen. That was borderline interference by Orpik. It was maybe worth a minor at worst. It appeared to be a pretty clean hit. The issue was that Orpik refused to fight Thornton and Thornton proved himself to be a hypocrite. Thornton said this to ESPN about fighting on Wednesday. "I've been a firm believer my whole life that what goes around comes around. If you're one of those guys that suckers someone when they're down or you go after somebody that doesn't deserve it or isn't the same category as you, that will come back and bite you at some point, too." I hope they throw the book at him.

I hope they throw the book at him. Agreed. I like Shawn Thornton, but what he did yesterday was too much. I mean, yeah, Brooks Orpik is a douche who gets away with dirty stuff and refuses own up to it, but he didn't deserve what he got from Thornton. Also, not to make it sound like I'm defending either side here, but with the way the Pens and the Bruins handle these types of situations, something like this was bound to happen at some point and it finally boiled over yesterday. p.s. That James Neal knee was scummy too.

With Crawford seemingly out for some time, Antti Raanta is now the number one goalie of Chicago Blackhawks. Time for him to show why I picked him to be the third goalie for team Finland for Sochi.
