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.
