Yeah, it was clean, but.Milbury said it best: Orpik caught Toews with his head down and didn't let him off the hook

It was Scott Stevens, or Darius Kasparaitis -- not dirty, but he could've let off and simply won't

It's the pens we're talking about here...

Anyways, the Hawks have been going down hill lately, and the injuries aren't gonna make things any easier.

Its a bit of a pickle. He was demoted to gear up his play. Now he's mad and tearing it up on the 4th line. Do you let it ride, or give him the promotion he's angry and fighting for in the first place? He's still getting plenty of ice time, but he deserves better line mates.

It is. And I don't disagree with anyone that says let it ride because it's working. I just think he can boost that 2nd line for the playoffs.

Rangers up 4-0. Thanks Oilers!

They said it at the break: Chicago is done like dinner if Toews is done -- though I don't know how bad Matt Duchene's knee injury is from yesterday

I agree with promoting him. I think they just have to work out the positioning though. Just because Vinny's labeled a winger shouldn't mean he can't get to his high scoring area near the high right slot or get to his dangerous passing zone right around the side and back of the net.

I don't like seeing these guys go down. Hopefully their alright Bc that should be a whale of a series. I really like what the NHL did with the playoff format. It breeds rivalries

Man. Truly a shame what has happened to the Oilers franchise. I didn't expect them to win or anything, but they didn't even make the Rags work up a sweat, if their beat guy is accurate

The Oilers used to mean so much more to this sport. Sad, really

21 total hits through 2 with Washington and Nashville. Didn't the flyers have like 20 hits in the 1st today?!

Lots of physical games the flyers have been in. Hopefully they get a few days off before playoffs if they make it

Rangers up 4-0. Thanks Oilers!

The Oilers are a joke, is it possible they get another #1 pick?

Nah Buffalo's 12 points under them. It's a waste of a pick anyways

Ping Pong balls mate, they've got a nice shot. Although i don't see how betman allows them to get another one. The Slugs need some young star to bring some excitement.

He needs to be centering the second line between Schenn and Simmonds.

No doubt in my mind!

So, I spent this cold and rainy weekend at my daughters dance competition in Lancaster. Stuck in a crappy hotel in Lancaster. Watching dance. In Lancaster. There was a bright shinning light at the end of the tunnel, tho...Flyers/Bruins waiting for me on DVR when we got home. Had it all setup. Checked to make sure I had it set to record NBC not CSN. Made sure to set it to extend the recording time an hour so I wouldn't miss anything if it goes to overtime. The dance competition ended, awards were given out (my daughter and her team did great) and we were on the road back to Philly by about 2:00. Got a text, all caps, from my son at around 3:00 asking if I was watching the game...so I figured something good must be happening. Got home at about 3:30 and settled in for a great game...love watching a game on DVR...skip the ads...skip the intermission...and it was a pretty great game...until 1 minute and 3 seconds left in the third when my recording ended! WTF! I set the damn thing for an extra hour! It didn't even make it to the end of regulation!

I still give the better hit of the day to Rinaldo...two hits in fact.

That's all it is, in the long run...a ride. Unless, of course, you've wagered the house on a Stanley Cup winning season; then I can see someone writhing through each and every play.

Do me a favor and dust off the ceiling fans. I want that place clean when I move in.

Hartnell on Chara was pretty good too.
