Sens pull it off 6-4. Lazar had a chance to close it out and missed an empty net with about 1.5 to go. Thought that might come back to haunt them. Lazar ate one of the burgers thrown on the ice  . |

Sekac with his best game - point wise - in a very long time with a goal & an assist as Ducks beat Avs. If I read the ESPN game log correctly this breaks a thirty game goalless streak.
It's hard to gather a lot of info from game logs & boxscores but it appears he spends most of his time with Rakell & I don't know where that guy fits in the Ducks pecking order. I think most of us thought that he would be spending time on the PP and playing with Getzlaf & Perry. With what I can glean, that doesn't look like it's happening. His ice time is around 12-13 minutes but there have been some games when he has been as low as 7 and he was scratched for the previous game. IMO it looks like he is in a situation similar to the one he was in with Montreal - 2nd - 3rd line duty and not much PP or 1st line time. Makes me wonder what the Ducks thought they were getting.

Yea, I've been trying to follow his progress in Anaheim. He's been playing on the 4th line with Rackell and usually Etem, but now Fleishmann I think. It's pretty unanimous - Ducks fans over on HF love his play and don't understand why he's not getting more of a chance. Not much has changed for him, I guess. |

The Leafs are in Ottawa tonight for the first of three remaining meetings. If they play the Sens like they usually do, Toronto could be responsible for crashing Ottawa's playoff hopes. Come on, Toronto….it's not as if 6 points out of the next 20 are going to decrease your chances of landing McDavid… Have some pride….derail the Sens! Moral victory! |

According to Sportsnet, it was the first time since 1972 that the Leafs haven't been on a CBC, HNIC broadcast ... the times they are a changin' ... Cheers. |

Sens are playing out of their minds. They're definitely on a high right now.

Bitter Canucks fan who compiled those Embellishment City videos has one up where the Canucks took on the Kings. Some good highlights of Brown embellishing. Wonder if he'll get fined:

Sens enter the third down 2-1 to San Jose. Ottawa scores 2, then gets a 3-on-1 to salt it away. 4-2 with under 7:00 to go.
What a great run they're on. Finally jumping over Boston for the final Wildcard spot....with a game in hand.
Sharks are beached. Expect some big changes there...no kidding. The Thornton-Marleau era will be characterized as a solid-to-great regular season team that just couldn't get it done in the playoffs. Now, that window closes with no playoffs.

Jagr with a pair against Ottawa, Florida wins 4-2. Boston takes out Carolina in OT, 2-1. After the Senators' crazy winning streak, they've now dropped three straight, and the Bruins have won two.

Some rough final scores tonight. Winnipeg loses, Florida loses. Damn. Canucks in a shoot out with Nashville. Canucks win 5-4. Sure hope LA loses Thursday.
The Canucks had to kill off a 5 minute major at the end of the 3rd. Wow, that was a tough call. It perpetuates the perceived bias toward Canadian teams. Yeah Burrrows deserved a penalty. He collided with Gaustad, half to his back, half to his shoulder, but didn't try going into him. It was in open ice and yes he interfered with him. A five minute major was extremely harsh, though, as it came with the automatic game misconduct and the timing reeks of game management. Gaustad's 9 foot 10 or whatever and he gets poleaxed? There have been far worse hits that got punished far less than that one. It confirms the inconsistency with officiating. And it was Burrows. If it was Sedin, he probably gets nothing. That's what Gallagher is going to have to put up with. Too bad there can't be some consequences to refs for 'misinterpreting' a play.

I wonder if Cooper gave the boys a later curfew for some nightlife in Montreal after sweeping the season series and clinching a playoff spot.
They got 41 shots on Reimer, scoring only once....but played their backup, who allowed 3 on 28 shots.
Didn't see the game, so can't comment on the quality of the chances....but I'm thinking a few party-weary Bolts.
If not...then they have no excuse to lose to the Leafs...other than Reimer stoning them.

That's a nasty one by Buff. He probably didn't mean to get him in the neck, but damn, ouch.
Pure rep call on Burrows. He had his lane, Gaustad turned into him, if Burrows falls, he probably gets 2 for diving.
The lovely world of nhl reffing. Where everything is warped.

Byfuglien could've broken Miller's neck. Did anyone see the lead-up to that play? Had the Rangers been crashing into Pavelec?
He'll get at least 5 games for that. A pretty selfish play when you're a key part of a playoff push.

a couple of good slashes on the goaltender who had the puck covered

Does that warrant a broken neck?
Yeah, I know Miller wasn't injured….but perhaps a centimetre one way or the other and he's down like Pacioretty.
That was a lot of force applied by Buff.

I'm by no means justifying Buff, but as we've seen over and over again when players and teams do stuff, that goes unchecked by the league, eventually someone snaps.

Buff will have phone hearing so that means no more than 5 games, right?

very true. don't we wish someone would stick up for Carey? What Buff did is something Nilan would have done, and given the history and circumstances it the punishment would have fit the crime. If liberties are going to be taken against you, then it's up to you to take some. If you're punished for it, accept it and move on. |

The last Hab I can think of who truly ruled the roost and stood up for his teammates on a regular basis was Sheldon Souray.
BGL was useless and so was Parros after that.
Now, it's mainly up to Prust…and maybe DSP?
If you're talking about us having any player capable of doing what Byfuglien did….well, it would have to be an unbelievably egregious foul to warrant that reaction.
But some players just snap...and temporary sociopathy isn't out of the question. Euphemistically known as "heat-of-the-moment" or "hockey play gone wrong, unfortunately".

The most egregious aspect of that incident, to me, is that it was Miller and not Kreider.

that was a nasty cross-check -- a real nasty cross-check -- to a bad place. but it was an equally egregious two-handed slash to a goalie covering up a puck that brought it on (a slash and a half, when you look at it; Miller just didn't get all he wanted to on the second one).
