Eastside's Hockey Elite Collide

Homepage, Schedule & Results, League Save File

Ryan Strome pulls out a win for the Wings over the Wild; the Devils fold gracefully to Kostitsyn and the Jungle Cats, Pens dodge Sabres' attempt at forcing overtime, the Oilers' Pavelec blows a 3-goal lead against the Blues (lots of goals at 39:xx for some reason), Ales Hemsky finally ended his 19 game goal drought to earn the Bolts the second-most-boring possible victory over the Caps, and the Hawks double up the Nucks in a much more lopsided affair than the final score indicated.

All-Star game tomorrow, a break on Sunday, and back to action on Valentine's Day (dawwww). Oh, and more vopatizers sent to pasture (for now):

Not just Strome, Aho also had 2. In fact, Strome-Eklund-Aho (my second line) put up 5 goals and 2 assists, each were +4, while the 9 other forwards had a combined 0 goals and 1 assist, each were -1 Guess I need to work on some tactics? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's about time the bloody Jungle Cats defeated the wankers from Newark (I've been to Newark, if there is a single non-wanker there I haven't met them)

Kostitsyn repaying our faith not to trade him after all, and Gibson with perhaps the easiest shutout of his career.
