No three point game please

The Oilers probably beat the bejeezus out of the Pens. Just where the Pens are at the moment.

One could only hope.

How about I at least guarantee you that the Oilers achieve a loser point? Lord knows none of us want McEichel there.

Sharks plan is to have Alex Stalock play in goal tonight versus the #Flames.

Saving Niemi for the Canucks tomorrow night. That's good, Niemi usually is lights out against Calgary.

I was more thinking about always rooting for the western team playing an eastern rival

I know, and I was making a concession

Holy shit the Rangers missed like 3 or 4 empty nets at the end of the game but they still hold on to beat the Bruins 3-2

Flyers trail Boston by 10 points in the wild card and both teams have 31 games left in the season

Thank God for the Oilers!

Power play goal for Jiri Hudler makes it 2-0 Flames

Honestly not sure I've seen a team give less of a crap before (re: Oilers tonight). The Pens weren't on the PP ever, but they had the puck for about 80% of the game...and it had nothing to do with bad refs. I couldn't even think of an instance where even a shade of a penalty was missed. There was one teensy skirmish in the third after the Pens laid a few big hits, but...just nothing. Man I pity them. That's not superiority from a Pens fan, that's pity from someone who usually enjoys watching their team play.

It's February 5th (on the East Coast) and the Calgary Flames are in 2nd place in the Pacific Division. What kind of bizarro world is this?
