8-game winning streak for the Coyotes, 2 points out of 1st, this is just borderline ridiculous now.

This is a really nifty goal from Daniel Sedin, I've gotta give him that. 3-3...and Vancouver is all over Detroit here.

Lee Stempniak has 9 goals in 8 games?!?! WTF.

Detroit PP upcoming.

Come on Vancouver, do something you ****ing useless pricks.

Thanks a lot Vancouver. I ****ing hate the Canucks. Game should've been salted away in the 2nd, but noooooooooooo, let's give up 2 in 5 seconds and gift Filppula a shorty.

i'm calling it now - Fatty McFat with the SO winner

Thanks for nothing Vancouver. Thanks for NOTHING. **** YOU LUONGO.

DA WINGS

GW with .2 left... sucks for Geddy

Back to back games with .3 seconds goals for the wings? then 2 goals in 5 seconds during the game? so sick

Detroit with 3 late goals on this 3-game Western Canadian road swing to steal 5 out of 6 points. Unreal.

With this kind of luck, Calgary's gonna have to catch Colorado. Detroit clearly won't drop points running like this.

Wowow Quick with a great save on Okposo with 10 seconds left to keep the game 1-0 Kings.

Another horrible night for the Flames. Calgary might need to win 8 out of their last 11 just to bink 8th.

Woah the Red Wings are in 8th? When was the last time they started a series on the road? I heard a stat last yr that they've had home ice in something like 19 consecutive series'. That's pretty gross.

pekka rinne going 5-0 (3 shutouts) 144/149 saves, less than 1.0 gaa p/g since the sharks game

No way Phx can keep up their run to the top...

Sure they won 8 in a row, but 4 of them were in a shoot out.

And look who they beat Carolina, Atlanta, TB, FL who are all pretty much EC chumps.
Then Anaheim, Colorado, Chicago and Van, with 2 out them being in a shootout..

They are 11-4 in shootouts which has to be close to #1 in SO and wins via SO FWIW.

...But thats not the only reason why they can't sustain it. They play 8 of the last 10 vs WC teams in playoffs already Chi/Nash x 2/Col/Van/LA/SJ then Calgary who is in dogfight for #8 and Dallas who they play tomorrow so its LaBarbera time in goal...they also play Edmonton in there.

SJ pays a tough schedule also, and they appear to be in playoff mode which as we know is not a good mode for them though they do have a game in hand on them...

Only battles left for divisions are NJ/Pitt (we already know my opinion) and that 1 plus the WC top seed is still up in the air.

Thank god outside of the top 4 in the EC everyone else sucks and most races are complete.

I just realized the Flyers are 5th right now on account of having fewer games played than Ottawa and Montreal. If that stands there's a decent chance of a third consecutive playoff matchup between the Pens and Flyers. That would be pretty awesome imo.

I just wish the playoffs would start already, the final stretch of the regular season is going to be pretty boring. Only Calgary and Detroit figure to have a shot at 8th with St. Louis as a slim possibility. In the East it's wide open, but I don't find myself caring who makes it or not - I don't think any of them have much of a shot at getting past the first round.

As long as we hold off the Devils I'll be pretty happy though. God I hate them right now - way more than the Flyers or anybody else.

Detroit running hot right now at end of games. Just saw the standings and holy **** Nashville is flying up the standings!

Looks like the Avs and Kings better get their **** together the way Nashville, Detroit and Calgary are playing

Kings are fine, they're tied with Nashville and have two games in hand. Colorado should probably be a little worried though, but they have a decent enough cushion to play with and two teams would have to jump them. I don't see that happening, although I'd rather have either Calgary and Detroit in over Colorado if I had the choice. The playoffs wouldn't be the same without them.

wow that was a long day

I'll be there today.. unfortunately Miller probably won't start

i was about to post how boring this NYR-boston game is but a penalty shot livens it up

i have no idea what paille was doing there though

i was going to post about how awful a game this was a couple days ago when i checked to see who was playing (i thought someone said it was Caps/Pens game or something). i watched 5-10 minutes in the 1st before becoming thoroughly bored and depressed.

haha. these games are always low scoring and not because the teams are good at D.

woooooot boston up 2-0, gg ranger playoff hopes
