Hodgson gets killed on the road where Ruff cant do his old school style line matching

Kevin Woodley ‏@KevinisInGoal
Not to belabor point but Luongo + Anderson, top-2 in GAA + SV%, both spent large chunk of lockout w/ Francois Allaire. So much for outdated

Sidney Crosby assisted on each of the Penguins' first two goals in their game against Ottawa, enabling him to reach the 400-assist plateau in his 448th NHL game. That's the fifth-fewest games that any player in NHL history has needed to achieve that assist milestone. The four players who needed fewer games to do it than Crosby are Wayne Gretzky (290), Mario Lemieux (353), Peter Stastny (411) and Bobby Orr (437).

For Orr to be in that elite company of players as the only defenseman speaks volumes...

[mattola]

I think he got 100 of those 400 assists against the Flames

and another 150 against the canucks

As I started reading this I expected it to end with "he got 100 of those 400 from the bench"

Ryan Suter's D pairing was just flat out dominated by a line of Mark Olver, Patrick Bordeleau, and Chuck Kobasew. Dominated.

Fun with consolation points: #Preds have lost more games than they've won at 7-3-5, and are fourth in the West.

Nothing fancy, but Matt Stajan leads the Flames with a +7 rating through 13 games.
