Meszaros makes a beauty pass and Briere scores .
Too bad for Meszaros he doesn't play for the Sabres
1-0 Buff

Icky Poo
Kessel has an early one in Wash
1-0 Bos
Thomas and Kolzig are the tenders

Neil has tied it for the sens in Buff
1-1
a bad angle shot that Biron should have had !

Stuart makes it 2-0 for Bos


Buff now has a Betty

Petty Theft !
Petty pots a shorty
2-1 Bos

1st ends in wash
2-1 Bos

Buff and Ott are tied at 1 after the first
Buff has been rather sloppy so far

Vanek scores
Buff 2
Ott 1

the sens have basically taken over this game since Buff's last gaol
But they cannot score !

I do believe that the Count from Sesame Street is at the game in Wash
I hope he is counting all the BOOS thrown his way

The Sens are playing much better tonight but Alfredsson is still MIA
Hardly even notice him

You are correct that the Count (Zubie ties it) is in da' hous'.....

I left on a positive- the shorty by pettinger.

2-2

Side note: I was telling people I watched Zubrus in warmups, and he took about 15-20 one-timers just like the goal he just scored.

I also predicted 20-25 penalties total, we're at 10 and counting with 25:00 left in regulation.

good for Zubby Doo
those meddling kids !


I see that the sogs are 23-13 caps

20-15 pps
The Bettman factor




It is starting to look in Buff that the next goal will be a biggie cause neither team seem to be able to find the net tonight .
both teams have sucked on Betties

they just showed jason spezza's mom in the crowd
she ain't bad looking

2-2 end 2nd, and this is another game nobody looks like they want to win.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

in the buff/ott game there has been some good body contact and both teams are making an effort
good game(they just cannot score)



TSN is doing a thing on "glow nets"
when a goal is scored ,the posts and crossbar start flashing with pretty lights .I guess when the non hockey fan sees this they'll become hockey fans

I smell a shootout in the offing tonight.

Here's the quick stats:

SOGs 27-16 Caps

Hits 17-11 Bruins (WHAT?!?!? There haven't been 28 bumps in this game, let alone "hits")

Blocks 15-10 Bruins (nobody can get the puck on net)

Missed shots 14-5 Caps

Faceoff Bruins with 58%

Penalties 6 for 12:00 Bruins, 4 for 8:00 Caps

Mr. Jagr has tied the Canes at 2.

edit: or 1. 1 goal each, 2 total. I'm half asleep tonight- I told someone as I left that Bradley scored the goal (he assisted, but it was Pettinger's).

that was Jagr's 599 career goal

According to NHL, Nash and Columbus are tied at 2, but they haven't turned the stats on, so it's hard to tell if the game has even started.

Buff and Ott are back on


I do that Rick Nash has a goal Colum(they showed the hilite)

Caps to the PP, but almost 3:00 gone in the 3rd, and only 1 SOG between these two.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Joe B. : "Caps offside in this 2-2 struggle"...... struggle is right.

Bruins offside, 15:07 left in regulation.......

Bruins on the PP now, offside at 15:01.....

yawn.

Bruins get a mini-Betty as the Caps put the puck off the rink.

sens have tied it at 2
(scorer still hasn't been announced but spezza should get it)
now sens get a pp

I'll betcha Bettman is loving the game !

And the Bruins kill the Betty and themselves with an interference call. We're getting close to the 15 penalty mark, and there's 13:20 left in regulation.

I think the Sabres have stumbled onto something

They still have to announce who scored the sens 2nd goal

Maybe if they do not announce it
it might not be official


oops
spezza does get credit

this perfectly describes the Sens this season
2-2 tie
midway through the 3rd in a game they need to win
they get a pp
and then they get called for having too many men on th eice
had 6 skaters out on the pp

The Caps, with a :17  PP, ice the puck........

If you insult him
he'll respond
Alfredsson scores to make it 3-2 Sens

Oops
Schaefer deflected Alfredsson's shot with a highstick

goal is now under review


goal counts
3-2 Ott

7:30 left in reg, Caps with a couple good chances but no luck.

Under 7:00........

sexy souray has 2 goals
2-1 mon over tb

Zubrus off the ice and to the locker room- they don't know if it's equipment, or injury.

No more mention of Zubrus, Boston goes offside with 4:06 left in reg.

Al, Joe, and Locker are now calling this game the Offsidefest.....

hope zubby is okay


offsidefest
but bettman loves it

2:30 left in reg....

word is they think Zubrus was injured in a run-in with Chara right before he left the ice.

1:30............. Boston in control.

:45....................Caps ice it at :43.5 left.

Caps dead tired on the ice (that was almost a 2:00 shift by the Bruins' offense).

Hanlon took his timeout to give the guys a breather.

:34.1..........

overtime.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

Philips scores a sh/en goal
4-2 sens with just a few tics to go

Bettman must be giddy
just 5 minutes till the Shootout

sens win 4-2

Now only 3:30 stands between the Caps, the Bruins, and shootout glory......

1:53 left.

Each team had a good chance, but no luck.

Under 1:00............. Klepis misses at :41......

:30......

:15.....

Bettman smiles.

Goodnight.

see ya next game
