Nashville(84pts) at Detroit(107pts)
4 3
Once again the Detroit Red Wings failed to reach the 50th win for the fourth straight season but more important than that is they are still 2 points behind San Jose for first in the Conference and League. But on the other hand Nashville was able to put some ground between them and the teams chasing them. As they sit in seventh place in the West standings.
Ottawa(76pts) at Tampa Bay(65pts)
3 0
The Sens came through with a big win last night leap frogging Toronto to take over 11 spot in the East. But they still have a very long hard road ahead of them 10 points back of Montreal and only seven games left.
Vancouver(91pts) at Chicago(91pts)
4 0
Vancouver just won't go away and leave the Flames to win the Northwest Division as they now sit just one point back with both Vancouver and Calgary having 7 games left. The Flames play the Sharks tonight in Cow-Town. On the flip side of this game where the young Black Hawks who are trying to hold onto fourth place and get home ice advantage for the playoffs in the first round. They did throw 26 shots Luongo's way but were not able to beat him.
Minnesota(80pts) at Edmonton(81pts)
3 2
This game was a love-hate one for me. Love the fact that the Wild won,but hate the fact that the Oilers lost and for one reason only the more Canadian teams in the playoffs all the better.
St.Louis(83pts) at Columbus(86pts)
5 2
It was a hard fought game from start to finish with St.Louis coming out on top to leap frog both Edmonton and Anaheim to grab the final playoff spot for now.
Boston(106pts) at Philadelphia(92pts)
4 3
The Bruins with a big win last night locked up the Division and can not finish any lower than third. Witch is a big deal for them but you know they have they eyes set on finishing first in the League.
Colorado(64pts) at Anaheim(82pts)
1 4
Well the lows just keep getting lower for Colorado as they were out shot,out hit,out worked, out everything. I don't know how a team from season to an other can fall so fast and so hard.

Carolina(91pts) at New Jersey(98pts)
2 1
This was a battle of the goalies Martin Brodeur (46) saves and Cam Ward (31) saves with Ward coming out on top. For the first two periods it looked like it was going to be the other way around. But at the 13:05 mark of the third when Sergei Samsonov scored his 16th of the season to tie the game at one a piece. Then just 3:21 later at the 16:26 mark of the third Tuomo Ruutu broke the tie with his 24the of the season witch proved to be the winner.
Ottawa(74pts) at Atlanta(70pts)
3 6
All this game was just two teams playing for pride and jobs. Altanta and Ottawa were tied at two after 20 minutes but Altanta broke it wide open with three in the second to cruse to the win.
Boston(104pts) at Toronto(75pts)
7 5
This game had more up's and downs than a ride at Six Flags but in the end it was Boston stopping the Leafs ride. As they try to hold off both Washington who are five points back with six and games left and New Jersey who are six points back with seven games left.
Columbus(86pts) at St.Louis(82pts)
3 4 so
Both teams came into the game needing a win as they both fighting for the playoffs. But with the game on his stick Antoine Vermette was stopped in the shoot out and the Blues picked up the much needed two points.
Phoenix(69pts) at San Jose(109pts)
2 3
The Sharks had planned to bite down on a wounded group of pups but what they found was a pack of hungry wild Coyotes. But they still were able to fend them off and take sole possession of first over all.
Buffalo(82pts) at Montreal(86pts)
4 3 so
As of now the Habs hold down the final playoff spot in the East but by only one point over Florida and four over Buffalo. It should only be by three over Buffalo as the Sabers did every thing in their power to win in reg time.And the Habs did everything in their power to lose in reg time. But in the end it was Toni Lydman in his first ever shoot out try beating Carey Price five hole to win it for Buffalo.
Florida(85pts) at Dallas(75pts)
6 3
The ever so laughable Stars and the ever for real Panthers took to the ice last night in Big D. It was Dallas who came out flying and got the games first goal at 4:23 of the first. And had control of the game until the last minute of the second period that's whenStephen Weiss and Nathan Horton scored just 53 seconds apart after that the Panthers never looked back.
Los Angeles(73pts) at Nashville(82pts)
3 4 ot
This was a battle of one team fighting for playoff position and one team fighting for draft position. In the end it was a desperate playoff hockey team in land of five gallon hats and cowboy boots who came through.
Philadelphia(92pts) at NY Islanders(59pts)
The Islanders got one step closer to landing the future face of the franchise John Tavares.
Minnesota(78pts) at Calgary(92pts)
This was the game I was waiting for all night and the Flames did not let their fans down. From the start to the finish they were all over the wild out shooting them 40-15. How good has Eric Nystrom (aka Nyerzman) been of late as he got the game winner again. Sure Kipper has had better games but he still made a couple keys saves. Why to go bots just keep rolling and we can take the Division and home ice advantage for the first two rounds.

Woman Viciously Attacked In Car During Rush Hour
MIDDLEBOROUGH(WBZ) - A woman was a attacked in her car while she sat in rush hour traffic along southbound route 28 in Middleborough Friday afternoon,police officials said.
The woman,whose identity isn't being released,was knocked unconscious during the assault that police are calling vicious.
Police say the man attacked her for 12 minutes.
"So within that 12 minute time frame,in heavy traffic,this individual got out of his car and attacked the woman,"Lt. Charles Amanetti said " At that point she went unconscious,and That's all she remembers.
Police are searching for the attacker described as a white man wearing a dark colored coat.
Surveillance from an area gas station shows the victim driving by,followed by the suspect's vehicle. Both the victim and the suspect's car are light-colored sedans.
http://wbztv.com
They say it all began when a male driver behind the woman bumped her vehicle with his. The two pull their cars over to the side during rush hour traffic.
It's believed the man then opened the woman's car door and attacked her. The incident happened around 4:30 pm about one mile west of the state police barracks in the area of 205 West Grove Street.
It's unclear if the assault was road rage-related.
The woman regained consciousness as police arrived to help her. Police say the woman is in her 40's and that she is expected to be ok. She was taken to an area hospital to be treated for her injuries.
Police said they initially thought her injuries were the result of a car accident but then learned she had been attacked by another driver.
Police ask anyone who witnesses the attack or was in the area between 4:30 pm and 4:42 pm to contact detectives on the non-recorded number 508-923-info(4363).

NHL Recap
Tampa Bay(65pts) at Washington(99pts)
3 5
Well no sparks as some thought there would be but Alexander Ovechkin did get his 100 th point of the season. I was a bit upset by his celebration as he just raised his stick and celebrated with his teammates. But being it was an empty net goal I could only guess that was the reason.
N.Y Islanders(58pts) at Detroit(107pts)
2 0
The Red wings came into the game expecting just like we all were to win the game and pick up their 50 th win of the season for the fourth straight season. But the ex-wing Joey Macdonald had other plans as he stopped all 42 shots including 19 shots in the third even his goal posts got in on the action. As the Wings hit them three times in the final frame.
Vancouver(89pts) at Colorado(64pts)
4 1
Well the Avs tail spin downwards keeps on going as they dropped an other one. In the last five weeks they only have three wins WOW what a lost season. But even more bad news is the fact that Vancouver is now within one point of my Flames who host the Wild tonight at the Dome.
Toronto(75pts) at Buffalo(80pts)
3 5
The Leafs hot play as of late ran into a team fighting for there playoff hopes. Also the return of Ryan Miller did not help Toronto's causes Tim Connolly picked up the first star with his two goal outing.
New Jersey(98pts) at Chicago(91pts)
2 3 ot
Brent Seabrook completed the come from behind win for the Hawks with his seventh goal of the season beating Brodeur and the Devils in overtime. As they try to hold of both Vancouver and Columbus for the fourth spot and home ice advantage in the first round of the NHL Playoffs.
Edmonton(81pts) at Anaheim(80pts)
5 3
The Oilers scored on their first two shots of the game and had a 2-0 lead just 1:45 into the game. But that's when it gets interesting as J.S Giguere gets pulled from the game and replaced with Jonas Hiller. But after the face off Anaheim tough guy with his 70's porn stache and J.F Jacques for the Oilers have a tilt and down goes Jacques. Back in comes Giguere I don't know if it was something he said or the fight but in he comes again.
But two goals and five shots later out he goes again and back in comes Hiller this for good as Hiller takes them the rest of the way. stopping all 12 shots he faced. But other than the Ducks playing musical goalies I want to talk about Dwayne Roloson wow what a night he had stopping 51 of the 54 Duck shots and 24 in the third. I hate the Oilers but I have to say congrats Roli.
