Fever NHL / Ice Hockey Thread, eh!

A nice win over the Caps puts my Devils back in the Playoff picture :P

Despite being humped 5 - 0 by the Blue Shirts I am rather pleased with how things are going.

Hiccup aler. 3 loses in a row for the Habs. Grrrrr.

Yeow!! Off to watch flames v rangers today.  COYR!!!

Hatrick to Galchenyuk at the Bell Centre! 4 - 1 Habs over the Hartford Whalers.

(Max Pacioretty with three assists, one on each of Galchenyuk's goals)

God the oilers are woeful! !!!

How about those Habs!?

Ugh. Poor performance from the Devs yesterday after a pretty good run, think the start of the season slump means our chance of making he playoffs now is "pretty slim" Think we have to win 20 of our remaining 30 games or thereabouts to get in. Would delight in seeing a trade of Jagr now, Habs need a top 6 forward right?

Boom! We win again!

We are TOP OF THE EAST!

(and 3rd in the League, a 2 points witha game in hand behind the Ducks in 2nd, and a game and a half back from the Predators in first)

Might have to start looking at flights to Montreal for the Stanley Cup Playoffs...

HUGE game for the Habs today as the Oilers come to the Bell Centre. A win takes them clear top of the East one point ahead of the the Lightning with two games less played and leaves them in thrid place in the League a game and a half back from the red hot Predators, and one point behind the Ducks.

Allez les Bleu, Blanc, Rougues!

Anyone heard anything from any Bruins fans lately?

Did anyone notice the Habs completed a SEASON SWEEP of the Bruins?

I did! ;o)

Habs up 0 - 1 late in the 1st.

Galchenyuk from Subban and Plekanec and the Habs lead by two! 

Yeah baby!

Sigh 2 - 2 at the end of 2nd.

Pacioretty (unassisted) makes it 2 - 3 Habs mid way through the third!

Slump. Oilers level it at 3 - 3 with 25 seconds to go in the third.

I don't believe it. Oilers win it in OT. Grrrrrr.

Original 6 match up today. Habs in Hockey town. No octopi!

Boom! 

Habs 2 - Wings 0.

Top of the East and second in the NHL, 2 games back from the Predators.

Full Price - Carey Price's save percentage since the Sochi Olympics is 0.935.

That's 0.09 better than the next best for goaltender's with 1500+ minutes since Sochi, Craig Anderson of the Senators at 0.926.

There are 16 goaltenders in the next 0.09 from Anderson's 0.926 to Jaroslav Halak's 0.917.

Really interesting article about the formative experience of being in Canada's Olympic team which had 15 of 25 players who were Captains or Assitant Captains of their NHL teams.

It's just not as much fun when the Bruins fans give up and stop commenting...

I like season sweeps though.

Habs up 3 - 1 against the Jackets.

We traded JAGR!!!

Now to offload Ryder & Zidlicky, maybe Salvador, any takers?

PS. Very happy with the 2nd & 3rd round picks value there

When did the Phoenix Coyotes change their name to Arizona Coyotes?

EDIT: Hmmm, Wikipedia says: "On June 27, 2014, the team changed its franchise name to the Arizona Coyotes and modified its secondary logo."

Correct in the offseason, I believe it was to do with being "More inclusive" LOL

Wild 4 - Predators 2!

Get in there Minnesota!

Mutter mutter mutter. 

If the Rangers beat the Predators and the Habs beat the Sharks today the Habs would be sitting top of the League.

Rangers did their part 1 - 4, but then the Habs choked! 4 - 0 Sharks. Dammit.

Sens JUST held on vs the Flames from 4 - 0 up... someone's been VERY quiet...

Lightning at the Bell Centre today and the Habs have the chance to go top of the league with a game in hand on the Anaheim and the Preds

Sigh, and OT loss was not what I was hoping for, but it does put the Habs top of the pile!

Habs now 4th int he league. Listenign to the game against the Panthers on the Habs Radio Network on TSN690... come on you Habs.

4 - 0 win at the Bell Centre over the Hartford Whalers today. Back to top of the League.

Guy at work won a tipping contest. His prize is an all expenses paid trip for two to the Habs game on the 28th march.Corporate box and all.

Does he need a Habs fan to go with him???

He is taking his wife.Many tried to convince him to take them but all failed.

It's sooooo close, but still top:

Go Ducks Go! Haha

That is stupidly close, obviously I least want those stinking Rangers up there. Good luck Brandon :D

HUGE day today. Could be a real turning point in the race for the Presidents trophy:

Ducks v Bruins. (It feels dirty to say it, but go Bruins!)

Coyotes v Sabres - who cares?

Kings v Isles - go Kings

Devils v Caps - LOL - oh well, Come on Devils!

Pens v Whalers - Come on Carolina! Boo boo boo Dirty Pens!

Panthers v Evil Leafs - Come on Panthers!

Rangers v Sens - *choke, splutter* Come on Senators! PLEASE do something good for once!

Sharks v Wings - Come on Sharks

Predators v Bolts - can it result in no points for either side somehow? I guess it's come on Preds?

Habs in Winnepeg - CLEARLY everyone wants the Habs to win that one! #GoHabsGo

Quebec Evil Team Pepsi v Cannuckleheads - Come on 'Nucks!

GGooooooooo Thrashers! :D

Today is 1974 Derby Day! Capitals vs Scouts to be the best team added in 1974 :D
