Ottawa  2  Columbus  6  F

D'oh

I know we have lost SEVEN in a row, but it still brings a weak smile to my face when someone loses to the Blackhawks.

 

Two seconds later I'm back in fetus position on the floor, sucking my thumb and sobbing uncontrollably.

Well, the 'Hawks are really on a roll right now. Getting Havlat back doesn't hurt either.

No doubt, Alan. Chicago may have lost the last three games going into last night, but they did earn points in each one of them. And before that they had a four game winning streak. That's the definition of a 'hot' team right now.

 

Except for those Ranger and Duck bastards.

my woes are deepening. 5-1 loss to the next to last place team solidifies the term "st. looooser blues." ugh.

Phil Kessel has cancer?! WTF, he's only 20-something years old! Fortunately it's the kind of cancer that's very treatable, but still..

I had heard the Bruins were having problems with Kessel, but not this kind of problem.

Yeah, you beat me to it.

Hah! The attack ads linked there are great too!

Yeah. I love how they point out a -4 game in 2000 for Lidstrom.

 

And do you really want an effortless player representing YOU at the All-Star game?

I'm looking at this list, and I see a lot of Sharks on it. In fact, there's quite a few write-in votes for Sharks. As it stands, there is a possibility that San Jose will have 6 players in the All-Star game. Now I'm a big Sharks fan, but I think this illustrates the problem with the current All-Star format. You vote online, as many times as you want. That's crazy, because of course a team based in SILICON VALLEY is going to dominate the online voting.

 

Am I wrong about the selection method? Is the fan voting only part of the All-Star game?

Nashville beats the Oilers tonight, but I won't complain. Sure, two points would have been peachy, but it was such an entertaining sixty minutes of physical, end to end hockey that you can't help but feel satisfied watching, regardless of the outcome.

Interesting. I need to vote another 200,000 times for Huet then...

 

And why does Turco have more votes than Kiprusoff?

 

EDIT: And it seems that Montreal and Ottawa both won tonight to earn a from me, but Toronto won and Edmonton lost to earn a .

Agreed Kor. It was an entertaining game. Too bad Mr. Kariya was able to make that sweet pass to Legwand.

 

I thought for sure we were going to tie it up at the end. What a chance by Torres!

Ok.. so in the last eight games we're now at 1-7-0. Hoo-****ing-ray.

 

GO LEAFS GO!

I remember someone vaguely saying something to that point earlier. Right now I just hopre they can get their offense going, and perhaps everything else will sort of work itself out.

Crosby now has the lead in the scoring race with 47 points. The kid had got 6 points tonight against the Flyers. O.o

Go Go Gadget Gonchar!!

Crosby is a cheater!!! :angry: :angry: :angry:

You're just saying that because he's now ahead of Jagr.

Yes. That is correct.

Yes. That is correct.

Jagr has also played three extra games.

oh for eight now... of course, bacashihua faced 45 freaking shots (schwartz faced one... not sure why). you absolutely cannot expect to win if your defense is giving up 46 shots a game. unbelievable.

Emery faced 45 shots yesterday and still pulled out the win over Detroit.

 

And TSN says it's oh for nine, although one was in overtime, but still.
