The Jackets have really been struggling lately so we completely juggled our lines moving Marleau to RW and Vermette back to C. Vlasic was brought in to provide some solid D and had a great game to play with Suter. We got balanced scoring from the top 2 lines and took no penalties.
Devils and Panthers lose which is a bonus.

Well there is one shot block I'm not happy with:
19:46 of 2nd period - Shot Blocked by Sidney Crosby.
19:46 of 2nd period - Sidney Crosby from Vancouver Canucks is injured at 19:46 of 2nd period (Strained Back).
Despite the loss, still happy by the result as due to exhaustion, we had to play Dan Ellis and drop the youngsters on defence down to the 3rd pairing and limit their time. It wasn't the ideal lineup situation as we were very concerned about Vancouver as they have some great players with scoring ability. Once again, the Sharks outshoot the team but just don't pull off the win. It's been the same story for several games. No lack of effort from the boys.
And Brandon Saad's shot that injured Crosby. I can tell you right now, Saad isn't going anywhere off this team.
Third game in three days and a big win for the Predators. Mike Ribeiro scored three and we're getting some scoring by committee at this point. Great game from him and Cammalleri.
not sure we totally deserved it but Rask held his ground and the Bozak/Pominville duo came through as we win 2-1 and continue to fight for ground in the playoff race
