But I need noise while I work, so I’ve got Hershey/Albany on the internet radio. Hershey up 2-1 after one. Bourque and Gordon with the goals.

Well, yeah. Although I think the Caps will be okay. Long-term though, I don’t like hearing Neuvirth getting regularly hurt. Holtby could end up being the goaltender of the future.

I’ve been thinking that too for a while. Holtby seems to be a work horse and can do back to backs.

Both Neuvy and Varly have had injury issues this year. Neither have been the same since their injuries.

I just watched the third period of the Paralympic semifinal sled hockey game between Japan and Canada. Don’t mind admitting that I wept a little bit. Gold medal is going either to the US or to the most heart-warming Cinderella story of these Paralympic games.

I think it will be a good thing

Last night’s game warrants some practice on defensive responsibility. I think they came back after the Olympic break and played a very responsible game against Buffalo. I’d like to see the same thing against the Pens.

We’ll probably see it in Washington next year. Trust me, he WILL get a call up next year since somehow I doubt that Varly and Neuvy will both manage to stay healthy for all of next year.

The 8th seed in the West has it made for playoff advancement. Unless San Jose finishes 2nd in the conference in which case, the 7th seed has it made.

Phoenix really lives up to the name of their city. (Things are going so bad for the San Jose Sharks, you wonder if some one has a voodoo doll of them and is giving it a little extra attention.)

The spirit of the Winnipeg Jets lives on!

That’s what we heard after he got injured against Montreal and was replaced with Theodore. And then he wasn’t able to play for Hershey at all during the Olympic break.

With the Wings this season? You can never tell, in my opinion. They may break it open and come storming back, or they may never get it in gear. I’m not at all convinced they hold onto the 8th spot if Calgary can find any semblance of game.

Well, checking over the Wings schedule this year, I see they have lost their two previous meetings with the Oilers, a 6-5 SO and a 4-1 drubbing. The once mighty Wings tripping over the worst team in the league. Shame. Although I see they’ve finally managed to score, now 2-1 Oilers.

Bur Carolina is not the worst team in the east. By the “law of averages”, they were due to do better. “Law of averages” is, of course, baseball’s tern for “regression to the mean”.

But yeah, the Wings have taken an incredible fall off. Injuries, fatigue, age, it’s all a factor. If Nick Lidstrom weren’t one of the greatest defensemen of all time, they’d be sunk without a trace this season.

Detroit is currently sitting in 9th, points wise but they have 2 games in hand compared to the Flames.

If the playoff picture in the West stays as it is, we can count on the Nashville Predators advancing to the second round. Chris Burton should be very pleased.
