Now that was an awesome OOT to watch and follow! Let's see, there were 3 blowouts. The Senators were up 2-0 and then kaboom, the Capitals scored 7 straight and won 7-2. Oshie with 2g and OV and Backstrom with 2a. There were only 2 penalties in the game.

The Hurricanes blew the Kings right out of the arena, 6-1. Bettman was in attendance and saw those "bunch of jerks" do their postgame schtick. Quick didn't have Nestle chocolate pregame drink as he let in all 6 goals on 20 shots and was pulled after the 2nd period. The win puts Carolina in a tie with the Penguins for the last 2 playoff spots in the east. Teravainen had 4 points.

The Habs killed the Red Wings 8-1 in Detroit. The Red Wings went 0 for 5 on the PP which means perfect PK for the Habs who were not penalized all game. Domi had a career game with 5 points (2g, 3a) and so did Shaw, he scored a hat trick. Drouin had 4 assists. The Habs are back in a playoff spot in the very tight eastern conf. standings.

The Penguins won 5-2 over the BJs in a big game for a playoff spot. The shots were fairly low, 27-23 in favour of the Penguins.

The Blues with Binnington in net made 19 saves for the SHUTOUT in the 2-0 win. The Predators had Saros in net and he made 42 saves. It was 0-0 heading into the 3rd period when the Blues took over, 20-5 were the shots in that period.

The Flyers defeated the Sabres 5-2 and overtake Buffalo in the eastern standings. It was weird not seeing Wayne Simmonds in a Flyers uniform.

No hearing for Chara.


Kane doesn't like it...

Interesting to listen to it on the California network and then on NESN. The Sharks TV guys were saying Chara delivered a cheap shot while the Bruins guys talked about Chara like a folk hero.

Two of the biggest homer broadcasts in the NHL. No surprise the opinion was so divergent.

That said, I am not sure what Kane is looking for. He initiated contact as much as Chara did, and he did so while leaning forward. Chara's elbow was tucked in - so the penalty he got was a total joke - and you can't suspend a guy for being tall.

They beat a bubble team at home missing its best player tonight...big whoop

I thought their defence looked bad, but Dallas didn't take advantage.
