Holbty was fantastic tonight. 43 saves, career best.

And another desperation move by the bruins gets blocked by the swedish hockey federation.

Now the desperation move has been cleared and hes a bruin again.

First big/meaningful Isles/Rangers game in forever.

[Matt]

Capitals are just playing great hockey

[Matt]

Well they were

[EmpireWF]

Isles were strong late but great pass led to the Girardi game winner!

Islanders get the point but Rangers get 2!!!!

Habs are just that hilarious. How does that terrible team even win games. If anyone says PK for norris I will laugh at him.

Though I would share this with the hockey guys.

So one of the guys at the local radio station here challenged any Oilers fan to a bet for the last Edmonton/Calgary game. The guy is a huge Flames fan, and most people where I live are Oilers fans. So he makes this bet with a guy, and which ever team wins, the loser has to get the winners logo as a tattoo. Well the game happened right after the Flames traded Iginla away and Boumeaster. He didn't back out of the bet, and the Flames lost, so he had to get a Oilers tattoo.

So instead of just going with a simple logo, he comes out with this beauty



Guy get's Pauline Gretzky on his arm for the rest of his life. lol

What a fucking stupid bet for a meaningless regular season game.

Please, stop. Carey Price was using new equipment and allowed three goals in four shots (something he never does) and it was a freak loss. Montreal didn't get outplayed, it was just a weird game where Price had the worst game of his career.
Montreal is a top-5 NHL team that had a bad game. Shit happens. Boston lost to Carolina tonight, does that make Boston illegit?

I have no problem with you thinking Toronto is a better team than Montreal, you're a fan, and our games have been tight all season, but to say Montreal is terrible is as dumb as me calling Toronto terrible. Toronto isn't terrible, and Montreal just got bad goaltending tonight. No big deal. My team is the #2 seed, yours the 5 or 6/.

New equipment. Sweet excuse. Even though he practically plays with new equipment every 40 games or so every season. I think he pushed it to game 70 last year.

Montreal frankly got out hit, out played and suckered into playing the goon game something they simply can't handle when the smurfs are out trying to play tough guys.

Montreal is just bad.

Both bold statements are

And Dave, Toronto has basically kicked the shit in of Montreal this season so I wouldn't be getting to high and mighty with seeds. You better hope Montreal finished 2nd, because if they play the leafs, a first round exit is in their future.

They split their season series. I give Toronto that 6-0 win, totally legit, but this 5-1 win was just a freak night. Yeah, I'd prefer Montreal not face Toronto in round one, but I'm not afraid of Toronto ... we just seem to play weird against them.

Split the season series? Toronto's already up 3-1 on them this year.
