Today was a better game, Rangers outshot the Flyers 43-22. The Rangers finally started to score in the third period with 5 goals. Flyers played a rough game today taking 9 penalities which included K. BEECH FLY (SPEARING, Major, Game Misconduct). Rangers were hoping Kris would be suspended for such a brutual move.

Thrashers pounding teams in season of hope
DAYEL PETERSON
Associated Press

Atlanta The hype leading up to season 4 in the CPHL certainly added a lot of weight to the collective shoulders of the Thrashers players. Two GM changes later and fan favoorite GM Peterson has done an amazing about face on the team structure and depth so badly needed to get the team to the finals once again.
When the Schedule was released early in September, GM Peterson salivated when he saw the league had provided him with a run through the expansion teams and weaker sisters of the league in week 3. The coach/GM kept hammering at his players that they should not take them lightly and that message was hammered home early in week 2 with a 3-2 loss to the Nordique, handing the struggling Quebecois team their first victory of the season. The message sunk in to the collective minds of the Thrasher players after that humiliating loss. The next match saw the team humiliate the Nords 10-4 and the team has steam rolled since.
Saturday the Birds continued this hot streak burying perennial losers, the Tampa Bay Lightning, by a 6-0 score. Bill Guerin the much maligned player, continued his hot ways with 2 more goals with Brendan Shanahan popping in one of his own and two helpers. Balance has been the key as the Thrashers are continuing to score by committee which helps keep other teams off guard in any attempt to match lines.

After 5 games in 5 nights the team gets a well deserved two days off and GM Peterson has suggested that they take Sunday off to recuperate before taking the ice to practise on Monday in preparation for their next games.

Frolov scores shorthanded goal with 27 seconds left to lead Pens to win!

Alexander Frolov scored his 4th goal of the week to lead the tired Pens to a huge win over the Washington Capitals. This was the Pens fifth game in five games. Brad Richards and Peter Forsberg continued their torrid scoring pace with Richards adding a 2 goals and an assist and Forsberg adding a goal and assist. Kim Johnsson also remained hot adding 2 assists. The Pens now have a much deserved rest until Wednesday when they will play the Stanley Cup finalists in a big matchup.

LATE RALLY EARNS TIE

UNIONDALE, NY - A pair of goals in the third period helped the Islanders claim a single point against the Quebec Nordiques on Saturday.

They peppered the Nordique goalie with 10 shots in the third period in addition to the 12 they fired in the second, but the young expansion club tender was equal to the task, turning aside 26 of the 29 shots he faced to preserve the tie for the Quebec Nordiques.

It was a battle of the youngsters on Saturday as rookie Maxime Daigneault started for the Islanders, stopping 23 shots of the 26 he faced extending his unbeaten streak now to two games. In his first two starts of his young career, Daigneault has compiled a 2.00 GAA and a 0.926 sv% earning one victory and one tie in the process.

"I'd like to have a few of those back tonight but I'm happy we got a point," Daigneault said afterwards.

The Islanders opened the scoring in the first period when captain Mathieu Schneider fired in a shot from the point on the powerplay past a screened Ty Conklin with Markus Naslund, of all people, causing havoc in front of the Nordiques goalie.

From that point on until the third period though, the Nordiques would be the only ones to score as Audette, Sjostrom, and Karpovtsev would all beat Daigneault to build up a 3-1 lead heading into the third.

The Islanders would rally though led by a pair of goals, both from defenceman as DONT PANIC YANNICK PART DEUX (Yannick Tremblay) would score at 3:26 of the third to draw the Isles within one, with Chris Chelios adding another 4 minutes later to tie the game.

Overtime solved nothing despite the Nordiques being awarded the man-advantage when Adrian Aucoin was sent to the sin-bin for boarding Scott Ferguson.

With the tie, the Isles find themselves in a four-way tie for 6th in the potent Gretzky Conference. The Islanders next game is on Monday when two former Hawks hope to exact a little revenge on their former club in Chicago.

KINGS CLEAN UP OIL SPILL
Playboy Magazine
10/22/2005

Edmonton, Alberta – The Los Angeles Kings defeated the Edmonton Oilers last night 5-3. The Kings showed their resiliency by coming back twice from one goal deficits. New comer Marian Gaborik scored his first of many goals in a Kings uniform. "It was good to get that first goal after coming back from an injury, I am hoping I can add more to the club in future games." Gaborik stated.

Goalie Dan Cloutier continued his strong performance with another victory tonight against a very impressive Oilers offensive squad. He is in contention for goalie of the week and has only strengthened his chances with another solid victory. "I am not really concerned with the awards" said Cloutier, "As long as I have the W at the end of the night I am happy."

The hot start for the Kings sees them at the top of their respective conference. "It is nice that we have been able to get off to a fast start to the season. The season is early though, there are many, many games left to be played. Our main goal is just to make the playoffs, whether we are seeded number one or number eight." said Sra when asked about his team’s hot start.

Game notes: Rookie Dion Phaneuf registered another strong performance with a goal. He has a dubious track record in fights to this point in the season notably the "Grigorenko Incident". There were no fights to report tonight, but there was a bit of pushing and shoving between Phaneuf and referee Kerry Fraser. This is one to watch for later in the season.

Goalie Statistics

Dan Cloutier (KIN), 17 saves out of 20 shots, W, 7-1-2
Martin Brodeur (OIL), 25 saves out of 30 shots, L, 6-4-0
Sebastien Caron (OIL), 0 saves out of 0 shots

Power Play Conversions

KINGS 2 for 6
OILERS 1 for 1

Game Stars

1 - Jonathan Girard (KIN)
2 - Derek Morris (KIN)
3 - Marian Hossa (OIL)

Getting a great performance from the top line, the Panthers once again managed to score shorthanded for the third time this season to ake the lead very early in the 3rd period. Miroslav Satan had a great game scoring 2 goals and an assist helping get the win.

[Rink Rat]

The Oil lost a 5 – 3 game today to divisional rival LA Kings. Coming off the big BOA win yesterday, the Oil seemed flat today dropping to 6 - 4 on the season. Registering only 20 shots through two periods, and allowing 6 shorthanded opportunities on which the Kings scored twice. Hossa registered 14 minutes of penalties this evening. When he was not sitting in the sin bin he contributed with a goal and 5 shots. Hossa remains atop the Oil point leaders with 15 points in the first 10 games.

The oil defense continues to contribute with the offence, tonight picking up two assists. One by Poti who also logged 29 minutes tonight, and the other by Rachunek who has now climbed over Leetch on the point board sitting with 2 goals and 9 assisst for 11 points.

The Oil now enjoy 2 days off were we prepare for the Blues and the Penguins up next.

[Young Guns]

Wings lose to the Blues yet again. Have we ever beaten this team? Allthough we outshoot them there goalie outplayed Burke. Will have more later tonight....

[Beerfund]

Habs drop the first end of a home and home. But at least we made it to OT to claim a point.

The new look Habs aren't looking to make too many moves, as a lot of our players are young and we expect mistakes. That being said, we entertain all offers.

HAWKS LOSE TO WILD

The Hawks lost a close one to the Wild Saturday. Newcomer Tuomo Ruutu scored 2 of the Hawks 3 goals, one of them a short handed goal. The second such feat for Ruutu in as many games.
