Eastside's Hockey Elite Collide

Homepage, Schedule & Results, League Save File

The Good: Chicago and New Jersey gave us a line brawl and goalie fight 5 minutes into the third period.

The Bad: Every team in the close race for 8th in the East stumbled tonight, with all of Carolina, Boston, and Florida losing and the Pens and Isles splitting the points in a (3-3) tie.

The Ugly: Three ATI’s, three suspensions. Winnipeg’s Stephen Johns gets a 5 game suspension for taking out Michael Dal Colle for a bit over a month, Tampa’s Mirko Hoefflin earns a 2 game suspension for taking out Ryan McLeod for two weeks, and Nashville’s Cameron Whynot digs himself an 8 game hole for putting Ryan Getzlaf on the shelf for two months.

Annndddd my hopes of surviving Round 1 are gone again. Cool cool cool. LITERALLY the first game I was back at full strength (Jesperi's first and last "day-to-day") and MDC is out for a month.

I'd trade the win for him...

That upcoming Islanders matchup is looking less dramtic
