DON

Vanek passed up chance for 67, nice to see.

Poor Budaj, not a chance on that.

borderline call?

Only thing more annoying than Hawk goal song, is that cat killing Rene Rancort in Boston. But, good goal by Hawks. F'in A sniper Bouillon.

fun 2 periods , back and forth with a few scoring chances, 67 had a breakaway, sweet pass from 20, but puck bounced at last minute. Beaulieu I thought looked quick and moved puck well.

Got to love Beaulieu's quickness and puck moving out of zone.

Off to OT Off to Shootout again. Holland now 0 for 2 miss Sven scores now 2 for 9, deak score Dumont now 2 for 8 miss ST Pierre now 2 for 10 and scores shot. Dubbie stops all 4 IceCaps, a win a win, still alive http://theahl.com/stats/game-summary.php?game_id=1012166

Murray must of given Gionta some stickhandling lessons?

Pateryn gets 15th and Dumont 2a but dogs trail 2-3 in 3rd. Dumont makes nice pass for his 3rd assist, to Blunden for his 18th goal and ties it up mid 3rd.

Thank you Tampa. (someone had to deal with old Yeller!)

These 3 games are just practice and whether win/lose, no big deal. But, I am sure all will be feeding Pacioretty every chance they get and trying to set him up.

He is only 21 and lots to learn. D-men can take a long time. But on a weaker team, I would think, he would likely already be full time.

And Markov-Plekanec etc also went to semis and Captain Gionta got ring in his back pocket.

Play the crap out of the kids!

The lil fellow is top ten eh. Still way out of Hab-range.

Finish Budaj's year with a nice shutout. Well most get their wish and both Tinordi & Beaulieu draw in, will be interesting to see how they fare vs a slightly depleted Hawks.

I assume both Tinordi & Beaulieu will be in vs Hawks Subban-Gorges Tinordi Weaver Beaulieu-Bouillon maybe?

Yes a no-name may step in and stand on his head.

Hudon gets GWG and now he, Nevins, Reway all have 5. Fucale finally loses a game.

Torts rampage in Calgary I thought would get him fired? Didn't like the Luongo-gongshow and some of stuff Gillis said/did, so seems a smart move. But Torts may not be around long under new GM?

The stats of the other 2 Tampa goalies sucks, Lindback isn't very good is he?

Dogs PP started at 13.5% and now went 0-5 today, potent it is not. IceCaps score again 3-0; 4:00 left. Well well.......the birthday boy-Crisp scores his 1st pro goal. 3-1 loss. http://theahl.com/stats/game-summary.php?game_id=1012165

Sorry bud, bad choice of diversion. Just saw goalie Bishop going off hurt in Tampa-Leaf game? Hope not bad injury. Not sure who I want to win this game? Got to go Tampa I guess.

9 seconds into 3rd and 1-0 for IceCaps. Pretty dull game, fairly even shots, no rough stuff, Crisp had 1 big hit in 1st (on his 20th b'day). Good goaltending. Then Morgan Ellis fumbles puck in own end, turn over and big blast which Dubbie hadn't a chance on. 2-0; 12:10 left in 3rd Holland gets smoked and boarding penalty. Sorkin playing PP time.

He is a leaf 1st rounder, so he sucks (or will go with that) and will be flipping burgers in couple years we can all hope. A Burke truculance flop!
