Monumental win by Montreal with seconds to go in the game, Columbus squeezes through in the shootout, Carolina and Washington win it in OT, all while the Bruins light the lamp in Beantown.

[St.Louis Blues]

Road games in LA, SJ and Phoenix have been a disaster, as expected.
...and Brad Boyes goes scoreless for the 20th consecutive game. Sweet.

[TorontoGM]

Next up: @ Colorado.

[Virtual Jarmo]

Maybe I need to take more shots.

[Penguin]

Nice chemistry in Boston and Steve Sullivan with 5 helpers. Impressive! Go Habs Goooooooooooo!!!

[Jets GM]

ohh baby cant wait till friday and sat! #1 and #2 eastern conf heavyweights play a home and home that should have a huge impact on 1st in the East. obv hide ya kids and hida ya wives and hide ya huzbeens, cause its bout to get crazy up in EHEC. HOMEBOY!

[Montreal Canadiens]

Wow. They decide they do in-fact want to play some meaningful games down the stretch.

Please tell me this is a sign of things to come.

I wish we played someone else besides Boston next. I get Boston, Buffalo gets Florida. After Boston is Washington, and Buffalo gets New Jersey. This shit gets better and better.

This game in short was the season, if we lost, it was signed, sealed, and delivered to Buffalo, but this is now going to be one uphill battle.

Remaining Schedules:

Montreal: BOS, WSH, ATL, CAR, NJ, CHI, OTT, TOR

Buffalo: FLA, NJ, TOR, NYR, WSH, CAR, TB, PHI, CBS

I have a back-to-back with ATL-CAR, while Buffalo has three back-to-backs remaining, TOR-NYR, WSH-CAR, PHI-CBS.

I'm going to say we're going to have to go atleast 6-2 to catch Buffalo down the stretch. Hope that one of FLA/NJ/TOR can pull off the upset, and that we can beat one of BOS/WSH. I'm definitely going to have to close out the season with a 4 game win streak since I figure the way this team is playing I may drop 2 out of the first 4 games.

Destiny is in the hands of a crapload of east teams going up against the Sabres.

[GM Office Q]

That's better from Lake Erie. 8 snipes! Oh, and MISTER Anderson!

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

Ladies and gentlemen, your 1st star: Pat Rissmiller.

[NashvilleGM]

1-2-3-4-5. Go Sullivan!

1-2-3 Go Arnott !

Not dead yet :O

[CapsGM]

Pretty sure that I'll finish sixth even if I go 8-0 for the rest of the season...

[Virtual Jarmo]

Pretty sure that I'll finish sixth even if I go 8-0 for the rest of the season...

6 > 5. I'd much rather play Boston than Carolina. No offense to Mike.

[Penguin]

I don't know man.. With Hedman (curently injured for 1month) will be back in the lineup, Boston will become scary again.

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

Pretty sure that I'll finish sixth even if I go 8-0 for the rest of the season...

Meh. I've still got to start Larsson twice more....He's the "1" in my recent 9-1 record.

[CapsGM]

Home ice in the first round is what I was aiming for. 4th > 6th > 5th.

[Virtual Jarmo]

Home ice in the first round is what I was aiming for. 4th > 6th > 5th.

Ah, yes. Makes sense. I didn't realize you and CAR were so close.
