How many people bet on the Panthers & Canes beating the Ducks & Avs tonight?

Oddly enough, 2 of Florida's 4 wins this year have come against division leaders.

I can't believe the Flames managed to get a point tonight (and have a chance to get two).

Case of playing up to or down to your competition?

The team that deserved to win ended up winning - Well done San Jose.

FlaPanthers announce 'We Win You Win' campaign on Oct. 23 - fans get free ticket to next home game after a home win. They are 0-5-3 since.

2011 Timmah is back. He was vintage tonight. Panthers go on a run stating with tonight. Book it!

The difference between the Oilers and the Coyotes is a Mike Smith. Get dominated again but yet they win.

That's why they got bryzgalov

That's what I was thinking. Probably a bit of both, but mostly the latter.

Vanek skated today at practice. Likely out for Thursday against the Kings though. Tavares is expected to play Thursday. He got the day off today.

Yeah, goaltending has been an issue with the Oil, but it is far from the only issue. Also, care to tell me who is the Oilers equivalent of Ekman-Larsson?

/OEL is having a Norris trophy start to this season.

I think the fact that Bryz has been a blubbering piece of crap since he left the coyotes proves its not the goalie (although I think Smith is better than Bryz) but the system that Tippett has put into place in Phoenix. Tippett is the difference

that being said Phoenix is 4th in the league in goals scored

not sure if already posted on here somewhere ... zoinks!

Cam Charron ‏@camcharron 15h With P.K. Subban on the ice tonight against Tampa, Montreal out-shot the Lightning. 17-11. When he was off, it was 24-3 for Tampa Bay.

OEL, Yandle and one of the deepest D's in the league say hi!!

Centermen, hell even forwards, who collectively are 200 ft, 2-way players haven't been seen in Edmonton since 2006.

Solid leadership in Doan and continuity behind the bench with Tippett are not exactly trademarks of Oilers hockey these days either.

As sub-par as Dubnyk has been he isn't the only reason the Oilers have stunk this year.

I'd say there are a slew of differences between the two teams.

I heard Kadri just destroyed Backstrom - suspension worthy?

I didn't see it, but reports are that it was a) a bad elbow by Kadri but also b) a flop of Academy Award winning performances by Backstrom.

So what ever happened to the stupid tucked jersey rule? Parise has had his jersey tucked into his hockey pants all night and no penalty has been called.
