PK

I belive we are 14th overall on the PP.

No pressure at all. We barely got the puck over the blue line in a 4 min PP.

Another great play by Kovalev. Markov takes a stick in the mouth. PP 4 min

He is. He has made at least three awesome moves tonight.

Don't look over your shoulder. I'm coming for you.

Markov is struggling tonight. He has already had 3 turnovers.

RDS says Florida had 10 scoring chances.

No not by a long shot. It reminded me of the game against Atlanta earlier this week. I kept thinking it seemed like Florida had an extra man. Every loose puck was grabbed by a panther. Still I am hoping we can show some effort and put this game away.

I'm very happy with 1-1. They had 6 or 7 high quality chances (including a post). Other than our goal we had a couple of other good shots but nothing really great. Luongo didn't have to make any diffucult saves.

End of the first. Panthers took a penalty at 20:00 mark. Both goalies palyed well although Luongo wasn't really tested and Theodore made a number of difficult saves. Neither had any chance on the goals. We need a much better effort for the final 40 minutes.

Sundstrom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are losing all tge battles and races. Theodore has made 4 or 5 great saves.

Ryder takes a hooking penalty. ... and Florida acores on the PP

I would much rather have a 64 game winning streak this year.

That's the most absurd statement I've ever seen on this board. [Edit: Realism score = 1] chnl posts an insightful analysis of how to fix the Habs weaknesses and he is attacked (and called a joke!) for getting Saku's home town a little misplaced. Is this a hockey forum or a geography forum?

Zednik!!! (A little late)

I'm don't think you can call this good news but you left Kovalev off your list of players who will miss tomorrow's game.

He's been sent to Team Belarus for the world junior championships.

I'm in (I've been away for a few days). Here is a suggested redraft. I've tried to make it less about our being pleased with the Habs current record and more about how classy we think he is. Of course you should feel free to slag my changes. Greeting Mr Gillet, Don't worry, this isn't a petition. This letter is the result of a survey taken on Habsworld.net.

Kostitsyn Jr. has been picked OHL rookie of the month for the month of November. He was also rookie of the month for October. Here is the article He has 16 goals, 29 assists for 45 points in 28 games. He is +7 with 32 pim. He is 12th in league scoring and the second highest rookie is John Tavares with 31 points in 29 games and who is -9. Matt D'Agosini is 25th in scoring with 12+25=37 points in 30 games. He's +9 with 36pim. :ghg:

??? The article says it was the first shutout this season. Check the date on the article and the posts.

The answer is yes. I had a reference when I checked this in October. Maybe I'll try to track it down.

Will we have a new HW member, "moeman's gf"? If so she has some big shoes to fill if she wants to live up to the standard set by Macaskills gf.

When you say it "should" have counted. I presume you mean according to the rules and not just morally. If so can you provide a reference to the relevant rule? I have take a look through the rules and can't see why it counted. All I can find is a rule that allows a goal when the net is off if the defence *intentionally* knocked the net off. The commentators said it should count because the goalie (Garon) and not the Kings D-man knocked the net off. I can't find any justification for this in the rules either. Of course, it would have been a travesty if they had disallowed that goal. The goal against the leafs should have counted as the net did not come off and Markov did not impede Belfour. I have no idea why it was disallowed. Other than conspiracy theories, I can only think the ref thought Markov collided with Belfour. The goal the Oilers scored against the Bruins is more complicated. The net did not come off so that is not a concern. The Oiler forward did collide with the Bruin goalie but this is allowed since it was not intentional and since he scored on a rebound. The puck went into the crease first - an offensive player is allowed to follow the puck into the crease and if he has "incidental" contact with the goalie this does not nullify the goal. Thus I think the rules call for that goal to be allowed. It was intentional if you watch Conroy closely. And he was probably joking but he had this to say after the game when talking about the goal counting: "I guess I probably should have knocked the net off harder." Thanks, BtH. I didn't notice that. It certainly explains why they would count the goal.
