[OOT] January 17 with eight games.

Canucks score, Miller working on the shut out with about 7 minutes left

Leafs comeback from 2 goals to beat the Stinky Sabres! Leafs are really good now and are probably going to win the Stanley Cup for the next 50 years at least.

OK now I just hope that the Preds don't score late to break Millers shutout and make this a 3 point game.

Goood. I'd prefer that Vancouver wins. I have no faith in them actually being good enough for playoffs in the end. The Predators I think have more room to improve. I feel better about them taking the loss.

I think Vancouver winning in regulation is the best possible OOT scoreboard result... correct me if I'm mistaken. Because they hold onto the reg win tonight, they only have 1 game in hand and still cannot catch us even if they win it.

However, we need Nashville to burn as many games on hand as they can. Since they lose in regulation tonight, they still have 3 games on hand vs us, but would need to get 4 pts from those 3 games to tie the Flames.

That game on Thursday might have massive hidden playoff implications for the West that won't become evident until the last few weeks of the season. St. Louis is in a bit of a funk, with goaltending problems. That makes it more of a race for the last Central spot.

Gaskal, what Scrambler said is right. It wasn't a 3 point game. I don't think it matters who won as long as it is in regulation.

What is it with the Stars' goalies? I know the Stars won 7-6 in reg time but Lindy Ruff must be going crazy. I wonder what the goalie situation on the farm team is like. In fairness, Niemi and then Lehtonen were under seige in the 3rd period as the Rangers outshot the Stars 25-4. For the Rangers, Lundqvist isn't playing well and was pulled again for Magnus Hellberg. Stepan had 3 points in the Rangers loss. The Senators show some offense on the road as they beat the Blues 6-4. The Devils also do the Flames a favour by beating the Wild 4-3 in reg time. The Avs had a 4-3 lead after 2 periods but lose 6-4 to the Bhawks. Vinnie Hinostroza scores both the tying and winning goals in the 3rd period. Hossa with 3 assists. The Ducks win 2-1 in OT with Rakell scoring a PPG in OT, thanks for nothing Tampa. The Canucks win 1-0 in reg time with Miller getting the 30 save SHUTOUT. The Leafs win again by beating the Sabres, 4-3 in reg time. The Hurricanes get a 1-0 lead that held for 11 seconds and then the BJs took over and won 4-1. Dubinsky with 2 goals. Cam Ward was pulled and Alex Nedeljkovic took over in net.

Knew he could bat it in so high, so he knocks it down just a little then bats it in. Brilliant
