What sparks a streak? Stars are 8-0-1 in their last 9, PK is 26 for 27 in those 9 games. Rumors i mentioned before are confirmed- Morrow was activated from IR today. watch out...
The one game i've been to this season was that "1," a SO loss to the Penguins but one of the best games of hockey i've ever witnessed in person.

Yeah, Malkin has that affect on people.
Ho hum first for the Pens and Panthers. Hopefully the Pens complete the Pennsylvania sweep of Florida.

Or when he almost single-handedly took the Flyers to the finals in 1997. His play in the Rangers series in those playoffs was unbelievable.
Going to the Bruins game today at 1pm against the caps. Can the Bruins make it three in a row? I haven't been since the beginning of the season & am quite pumped. Don't poke the bear...
Thanks, we're excited. And right before it we have to go pick up the certified check for our house closing on Monday!!!
I feel like it might be Turco today, which I'm fine with, unless he sucks. This peverly injury I think has hurt more than I originally thought it would.

Enjoy the game and congrats on the house.
The thin, ratty silver lining of the Peverly injury is that it forced the Bruins to give Caron important minutes which is accelerating his development. It is almost deja vu with watching first Marchand, then Seguin and now Caron come into their own. I don't expect the flash of Seguin or the edge of Marchand, but I am enjoying watching Caron develop into the best player that he can be. I see some of Bergeron's all-around game in Caron; if that is where he is heading, that is a good thing for the B's.

I watched that game yesterday afternoon. I'm not quite ready to sell the farm on Bryz yet,...but the Flyers are definitely getting a good look at what they paid for. Playoff performance is going to make or break Bryz. That said; I definitely enjoyed his shutout the other night. I think he has quietly been getting into his groove since coming back from the Flu in February and we are starting to see that culminate with 2 shutouts in 3 games,...a nice little winning streak. In the back of my mind though; I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Brandon Manning,...another rookie blueliner really impressed me. Made his NHL debut, worked hard, made some solid defensive plays including preserving the shutout with a well time poke check that clear a puck out of the paint in front of a wide open net. There was no panic in his game.
This team is so banged up right now. I haven't seen a Flyers team this injured in my short time really following them. Every time another player gets hurt my frustration level goes up. I accept that every team is going to have to battle through injuries,...but this year has been for the Flyers had been especially injury prone.
I really do hope that at least the Blueline gets healthy for the Playoffs. Rookie D will start to crack when the intensity of games ratchets up.
Woooo Caps! A bit surprised that they got four goals on Thomas (on the road, no less), but I'll take it!

Woohoo! Leafs continue their slide! Bring on a good draft choice number.

9-0-1, 30/31 PK during those 10
Stars take care of business, Morrow gets gwg on first game back. Its been a while, but i'm a happy Dallas fan.

Yep. Definitely a sweet, game-winning goal in the shootout for Giroux. Bryz stoned Kessel in O/T and then again in the shootout. Good game for Toronto as well. Either team could have taken home the extra point. But I'll take it...
Watching the highlights,...I know doesn't tell the whole story but it looks like TOR had the better of the scoring chances and Bryz stole this one for his team.
