Wings and Panthers both with a win! Nice night.

[grawk]

The caps squeaked out a win in OT against Atlanta. Semin got a hat trick, and Neuvy played lights out. Otherwise, the team is still playing like there's something wrong.

[GPH]

Well, it's still a strong season beginning for them even if there's something wrong.

[grawk]

Ovechkin has been quiet, most of their wins have been OT squeakers, varly's injured, green's injured, and poti's injured. They've won the games they've won on ability, not play.

Man, what's up with NJ? Sign Kovy to a big contract and bench him this early in the season.

[grawk]

The problem is they made a thug their coach, and his coaching style and Kovi's playing style don't mesh really well.

Watching the Panthers game against Montreal. First time I've enjoyed one of their games all season, even when they've won. It's only the middle of the second, but really good, fun hockey. Still liking Matthias, and Booth just got a nice penalty shot goal. Hoping my friend can come through with tickets soon.

awesome watching the caps remember how to bring the offense in cowtown.

^ Awesome beating of the fLames, I enjoyed watching that game

The Blues are making a valiant effort. Three of their top six Dmen out, leading goal scorer out and they are still on pace with the league leaders. Four of their last six games are shutouts and 9-1-2 in their first twelve.

I don't want to breath.

Even as a Bruins fan, who they beat in a SO the other night, I enjoyed watching that Blues team. Oshie is a mini-beast! He took on Zdeno Chara and put him to the ice with a nice check. And he took David Krecji out as well. Horrible to see the concucssion on DK, but it was a very clean hit and cannot fault Oshie at all; a classy interview after the game as well. He's one of those players you'd love to have on your team.

The rest of the team is playing real upbeat, fast, inspired hockey. Good luck to them this year.....

Why would you know this exists?

Well, what a difference a three game losing streak makes.

[grawk]

Why wouldn't I know it exists?

The caps played terribly last night. Oh well. Tonight it's the thrashers.

[tom_hankins]

Thrashers jump the Caps for first!!

[aardvark baguette]

I love that Caps are only taken out of first place with all the shitty playing lately.

God what a horrible month.

Thrashers are 11-2-2 in there last 15. They played there way in just as much as the Caps have played there way out of first.

[grawk]

As well they should have, ugh.

[boomana]

There are some good match-ups tonight. I'm looking forward to the Wings game tonight against the Stars. Looks like Osgood is going to start, and is going for his 400th career win.

[grawk]

The stars are pretty tough this year...

[boomana]

Yes, they are, and they trounced the Wings last outing. Babcock's a smarty, and I bet the only reason he's starting Osgood tonight is to hope for some 400th-win excitement at the Joe. Wings are in a tiny slump, so a win tonight is needed. Looking for a good game either way.

[grawk]

I've got my habs jersey on, getting ready to head down to dc to get beer dumped on me. Look for me on RDS and NHLTV.

[GPH]

Now you're talking. I'll be watching that for sure.

[grawk]

[GPH]

Pure win.
