[OOT] April 9, just four games.

[hwy19man]

It is the final Wednesday of the regular season and where "hockey lives here" on TSN will not be happening after tonight. All OOT games have playoff seeding implications.

The OOT game of the night at 1730h


in Canada and the USA


at

This is the game where Rich Peverly collapsed and the game
was suspended. It will be a sixty minute game with the score
at 1-0 for the Blue Jackets. Both teams in this inter-conference
game are in tight races, on the brink of a playoff spot, and
they both played last night.

This is part one of the TSN doubleheader, the Flames game
comes on afterwards. The Flames game will be pre-empted
if this game goes to overtime and the shootout because TSN2
is showing another hockey game. It is another Original Six game
which has history with the teams battling it out for the Stanley Cup.

This could be a first round match up which
would be weird considering they played each
other for the Stanley Cup in 2008 and 2009.

Does either team want to win the Pacific Divison?
It appears to be a turtle derby and the Ducks could
still come first in the western conference.

Is TSN doing anything special for their 'last episode'? Any montage or something. Does this even happen when stations lose sports contracts?

I have not heard anything about that. They could do something after their final playoff game. I think ABC did something following their final Monday Night Football telecast.

It's their final Wednesday night broadcast, but they still have the Kings-Oilers game tomorrow and the Sens-Pens game on Sunday for the regular season. Plus, they'll still be carrying games in the playoffs.

I'm sure they'll do a big send-off when they cover their final game, but probably nothing special tonight.

In the second period, it is scoreless between the Habs and Blackhawks.

The Red Wings have a 1-0 lead on the Penguins after one period.

The BJs are up 2-0 on the Stars early in the game.

[Ped]

If Columbus holds on for the shutout, Horton gets the winning goal and he's not even dressed.

That's awesome.

[hwy19man]

It is 3-0 BJs, Coyotes fans can breath a bit easier now.

The Penguins tied the game 1-1 on the power play but soon after, the Red Wings scored. It is 2-1 Detroit in the second period.

[Anduril]

fuuuu.


Blackhawks tie it up with 48 seconds left, we're going in OT.

[hwy19man]

The BJs have made the playoffs! They beat the Stars 3-1.

Chicago beat the Habs 3-2 in overtime.

The Red Wings have also made the playoffs with the single point in their 4-3 shootout loss to the Penguins. The Red Wings tied the game with 75 seconds left in regulation time. Ducks and Sharks fans were just as angry as Flames fans when Detroit tied it up because they were nervous their game on NBCSN would pre-empted as there is no back up channel. No action was missed in the Pacific Division battle and it is scoreless late in the first period.

It was nice to see Kris Letang back playing after his stroke ten weeks ago.

[Gaskal]

Good for Columbus.

[shermanator]

So Columbus, the worst team in the NHL 2 years ago makes the playoffs this year. And Edmonton, as the 2nd worst team in the NHL 2 years ago is the 3rd worst team this year.

Hahahahhahaa suck it Oilers!

sLowe and steady wins the race.

The Ducks have clinched at least 2nd place in the western conf with the 5-2 over the Sharks. Niemi was pulled after letting in 3 goals on 19 shots. Selanne with 2 assists and Maroon scored 2 goals for the Ducks. The Anaheim rookie goalie Gibson played well in his 2nd career NHL game stopping 36 shots. The Sharks loss means that they will play the Kings in the 1st round of the playoffs. The BJs win 3-1 over the Stars and Bobrovsky was simply awesome in the 3rd period to preserve the victory that puts the BJs in the playoffs. The Stars had 18 shots and 2 for the BJs in the 3rd period. More goalie talk, Fleury was terrific for the Penguins in the 4-3 SO win over Detroit. The Red Wings make it to the playoffs with the SOL and it means the Habs and Bolts will meet in the 1st round. Neal had 2 goals for the Pens. Jokinen's SO goal was a fluke how it went in. The Bhawks came back to beat the Habs 4-3 in OT. Hossa gets the GTG from Sharp late in the 3rd period and then Sharp gets the GWG from Hossa on a soft goal beating Budaj.
