Running 2007 NHL regular season thread

Watching the DVRd Philly-Isles game from tonight, it's hard to believe how good Jiggs McDonald sounds. You'd never know he only does a handful of games each year.

 

Between the new "sweaters" and Cooperalls, the League and Reebok will have achieved their goal of having the players look completely ridiculous.

 

Jiggs does a great job. I hope he lands a job with a network.

 

I'm sure nobody's watching this in Boston but the Joe Thornton trade comes into play in the last minute of Boston's 2-1 win. Thornton set up Milan Michalek with the equalizer and then 26 seconds later Marco Sturm set up Aaron Ward's game-winning goal. Amazing thing is I tuned in during a pitching change in the ALCS and saw all of it.

 

Cooperalls = ringette pants

 

Amazing, despite the fact that most other teams have figured it out, two years hence, the Bruins still don't understand that you can't fall into a shell with a one-goal lead anymore, since you can't tie guys up like before. And hey, look at that, when you put a little aggression on the puck, it goes in! Wow!

 

Love the mid-game shit-kicking that Brent Sutter gave the Devils (just watching highlights).

And great save by Brodeur in the last few seconds to save the win. I love that guy.

 

Slap my ass and call me a cowgirl ... the Flames scored seven goals tonight? Holy shit ...

And they're on a win streak ... dayum.

 

So are the Blackhawks, 2-1 winners over the Stars tonight.

 

Blackhawks look like they are having fun playing.

 

It's former Plymouth Whaler, Mississauga Ice Dog, and Peterborough Pete Craig Cescon's uncle.

 

Coyotes-Wild game. Lots of people dressed as empty seats.

Fans cheer loudest for Wayne Gretzky during the intros -- how pathetic. Don't they know he's NOT playing?

Wild bumble around a bit, but Eric Belanger gives the visiting team a 3-2 regulation win as referees don't swallow their whistles in the game's final minutes or even seconds.

Somewhere, Rosie's happy on her birthday with news of a Wild win.
