Brooks Orpik sends Daniel Paille flying through the air...

That was a crazy hit. Glad to see Paille get right back up and into the play.

The Pens REALLY outhit the B's in the game, which doesn't happen often. Not a big fan on the "slashing" call on Peverley that led to Malkin's goal. Still never saw where the penalty was unless it happened before the hit on Malkin.

it was definitely good to see Paille get up right away.

Schenn's one of my dudes. That was brutal to watch. Nice knockout by Kovy.

afternoon hockey again today :mrgreen:

Penguins @ Devils right now.

 

[pghbuccos]

Devil's won 5-2.

Fleury was pulled for the first time this season after giving up a 3rd goal early in the 2nd Period.

 

[robert67]

Canucks beat the Predators, as usual.

Gave up two "soft" goals. Not sure what comes over our guys some nights.

Devils 5 straight since the break Beat the Rangers twice, Habs, Philthy and Pens (sorry Dave)
Starting to look like last year's 2nd half Playing a very teamcentric game.

Evgeni Malkin's 360 Shootout goal against Carey Price last night...

1 point for the goal

+5 in style points :lol:

Loved that opening face of in MSG last night. Two nice fights to kick off the game.

 

[pghbuccos]

1 point for the goal

+5 in style points :lol:

sadly they lost the shootout.

Malkin has been amazing in the shootout this season (he is 8 for 10). in past seasons he has been so bad that he was never in the top 5 choice of shooters for the Pens.

Just when you think the Caps have put it together, they blow a 2 goal lead in the 3rd, and lose in SO at home against the Jets... ::facepalm::

That 2nd goal was an amazing fluke

Gomez scores his first goal in 1 year and 3 days :lol:

And the Flames lose to PHX in OT ::facepalm::
Now a 3 way tie for 9th with DAL and MIN

The 2nd goal was, according to Dale Hunter


"Just a hockey play that happens in hockey"

I WISH the OILERS would start losing more. I really, really, really want them to get Nail Yakupov

Interesting quick turn of events here in caps land

Katie Carrera@kcarrera
#Caps recall Braden Holtby, Joel Rechlicz from Hershey http://ow.ly/9393T


Katie Carrera@kcarrera
Braden Holtby leads the #Caps on to the ice tonight. According to the team's Mike Vogel he will start tonight


Katie Carrera@kcarrera
Neuvirth told colleague Ben Raby this am he was starting vs Sharks. Got to wonder what the plan is, and how this impacts Neuvirth's mindset.


Katie Carrera@kcarrera
Rechlicz is taking warmups. Knuble and Erskine are not,

What the heck is going on, all about 30 minuets before the game

 

[gt2590]

Plus, the Caps get the Sharks coming off a bad loss at St. Louis last nite... :?

 

[jeff550]

Anyone know a place other than Ebay to get KHL jerseys. Im looking to get a Kuznetsov jersey

 

[robert67]

Predators win a thriller against the Blackhawks 3-2.


Also, congrats to the Red Wings for their 21st win in a row at home. Thats what I call a home ice advantage!
