The Malik goal and nonchalant wave after he scores still cracks me up

 

That's Malik. Nonchalant...In the offensive end...In his zone...Center ice... Along the boards...

 

Unfuckingbelievable ... or actually ridiculously believable ...

Penguins give up a goal while on a 5-on-3.

 

Wow, you don't see that everyday.

Leafs down 1-0 on a shortie by Lecavalier after an amazing stop by Denis. Raycroft has been pretty sharp for the Leafs.

 

Now 2-2 after two after Leafs get one in the final seconds of the second.

 

Marty Broduer's on his way towards his seventh shutout of the season. 1-0 Devils in the third.

 

Maybe the best game of the season for the Leafs. Certainly the best one for Raycroft as they beat the Bolts 4-2. Steen gets the winner.

 

Brodeur beat the Rangers, 1-0, at the Meadowlands tonight.

He's the MVP. Case closed. I defy anyone to say otherwise. The Kid's great, but he has help (Malkin, Staal). If Brodeur isn't great night in and night out, the Devils lose.

 

Malik apparently stole his move from veteran Robert Kysela who scored this in a playoff game in the Czech League in 2001

 

Yeah, or every hockey player who's ever done the one-on-one drill at the end of practice...

 

Certainly a contender for MVP at the halfway point along with Crosby and Daniel Briere. He's turning in a solid effort just about every night. I kind of wish he'd skip the All-Star break to get some much-needed rest, but then he'd likely get stale or mess up his routine. Brodeur is definitely Devils' MVP.
