Nuevirth gives up his 2nd goal in the 2nd period...to make the game 2-1 Pittsburgh. Oates immediately yanks him and puts in Holtby..who gives up 3 goals in 3 minutes

Fantastic stuff.

That sounds ... and I didn't see it so I'm only guessing ... but that sounds baffling.

Well Kessel finally scored on a sicko shot.

All I could was laugh man...No idea why the quick hook on Neuvirth, Holtby has been shit so far this season...and continued to be shit LOL

Washington is going down the shitter bad. I think the coaching changes constantly and Mcphee having to deal with that clusterfuck is really starting to take its wear and tear. Its fairly obvious that the team is really early in devolping a system and having a shortened season isn't helping anyone out.

[Rudi]

I think Oates to put Ovie and Backstrom back on the same line together. They have developed great chemistry over the past years and it might be just what Ovechkin needs to get going

Wings dominate Blues again. Going to the Kings and Blues games next week. They better play how they did tonight.

[Woy]

We bout to get revenge for Sunday tonight FUCK THE PENGUINS WOY

Ain't losing to the biggest joke in hockey.

5 straight for the Pens and home-and-home with the Devils coming up this weekend. Streak will probably end on one of those days, but it's been fun to watch after shitting the bed earlier against teams like the Islanders, Leafs and Jets.

HEHE - nice work

[Rudi]

Wasn't able to watch the game tonight, but nice to see Holtby finally get the dick out of his ass and post a shutout. Ovie gettin on the scoresheet is a good sign as well.

Habs

What a god awful team.

Habs

What a god awful team.

Colton Orr speeding towards Tomas Plekanec and then beating two other Habs was truly a sight to behold.

Yeah ... it takes a lot of guts for a goon to go after Plekanec. He broke the code.

Rough week for the Habs. They'll rebound. I don't get Therrien's babying of Galenychuk. Give him his 20 minutes a game, he's a top-3 forward on the Habs.

Give the Leafs credit. They played great tonight, but I still don't like Colton Orr going after Plekanec, no more than Leafs' fans would want Brandon Prust going after Phil Kessel.

If you're going to talk code it should be noted that Prust went after Grabovski before Orr decimated an entire line of forwards.

In fairness, Grabovski has always been an asshole in Habs' games (even you know that) and takes a ton of cheap shots.
