Friday Night Hockey

I gots the TB/Cane game on TV

If the Canes miss the playoffs
It will the first time in NHL history that both teams that made the finals the previous year have missed the playoffs.

so far nothing has happened in the Canes game
TB had an early pp but did diddly on it

Bad give away by a TB player and Cole scores
1-0 Canes

I've got the TV on mute- rockin' the house with Shooter Jennings' two albums- first, "Put The "O" Back In Country", and now "Electric Rodeo".

He a no good music thief, and you can pick out licks from everyone from Bon Jovi, to Guns N' Roses, to Skynyrd, to the Stones, even his old man..... but he's a fine lyricist, and you can hear what's coming in the future.

Wish I was in Richmond tomorrow (he's playing a club there).

Oh, yeah..... Caps' game on.

 

Ovechkin... Novotny to Klepis, goal! 1-0 Caps.

maclean and maclean had an album out many years ago called ...'taking the "O" out of country'
it was full of dirty songs

just had an upset
O'Brien and Tanabe
O'Brien won

WASHINGTON Capitals

Ovechkin Laich Semin
Klepis Novotny Fleischmann
Pettinger Gordon Clark
Brashear Beech Bradley

Jurcina Morrisonn
Pothier Schultz
Eminger Green

Johnson
(Kolzig)

[Eminger back, Muir out, Laich and Beech switched, Johnson in goal.]

He (SJ) also has a live album out, from last April, with the better songs from both these albums, under the band name the 357s. He was also in an L.A. rock band called Stargunn, and they have a cut on a couple of compilation albums- one a tribute to Waylon.

Well since I turned the sound on, the Caps have done diddly.

That F-N-K line (the Fink Line?) is all Czech.

Turn the sound off, Roger, and they'll score.

Shooter Jennings sounds like a perfect name for a Rockabilly artist .

TB's games was boring to start but in the last few mins we have had some nice hits .

Vinnie L has thrown a couple of tasty hits

Gregory Campbell sends the puck over the left shoulder of Brent Johnson and into the net. 1-1.

Tuzzi gets his first goal as a wing
1-0 over Dal

FLORIDA Panthers

Peltonen Jokinen Horton
Booth Stumpel Olesz
Gelinas Weiss Gratton
Campbell Sprukts Kolnik

Bouwmeester Allen
VanRyn Salei
Semenov Montador

Belfour
(Anderson)

About Bertuzzi: first goal as a Wing, but not as a wing.

Sprukts ?
like his name

martin st louis ties it at 1
(awful shortside goal on ward)

"That F-N-K line (the Fink Line?) is all Czech."

Right. Does Fleischmann plays on the left wing, by the way? According to forecaster.ca, he's a LW/RW who shoots left, Klepis a C/RW who shoots right and Novotny a C/W who shoots right, so logically, it's FNK.

Ssssssssssssexy Souray has a goal
but Ott has 3
3-1 Ott over Mon

I think so- JB called them out in that order, so FNK it is. Could be ........Funk Line.

misto has the Florida TV feed, and said the announcers pointed out the Caps went over a 9:00 stretch without a SOG.

They just showed the Florida Ice Girls......

Semin... scores! You could hear it coming. 2-1 Caps.

Goal scored with 2 seconds left to a 5-on-3 PP.

LOL! The goal goes once again to... Clark! 30th of the year. Congrats!

Assists: Semin and Ovechkin.

CL points out the Caps had 6 men on the ice for about :10...... no call. Shultz came out and was a third D for a good while.

Great save by Belfour... unless it's a goal. Under review.

According to Kolbe, it's a goal... let's wait and see.

Florida Ice Girls

I envy you !


not so sexy mike commodore has scored for the canes in the 2nd
2-1

Buff are buttkicking NYI
4-1


we have a melee in the Canes game
Lots of gloves dropped but no punches thrown

A replay from the front shows it a good goal. They keep reviewing from the overhead, which Belfour's blocker blocks the view of the puck.

And they rule no goal.

The puck was "clearly over the line" according to Kolbe. Morons. It would not be the same game at 3-1.

And now Pothier to the box. If we give up a goal, I go to bed.

Good night, Marc.

You knew it would happen. Panthers score and it's 2-2.

LOL, yes, good night, Roger and Tom.

Time for the Penalty Box Parade.....

it's a Cat, this time. 4 on 4.

nite marc

Fleishmann with a mini-breakaway on the 4 on 4, and a good chance from AO on the PP, but.....

2-2, and back to ES.

Andre Roy takes a classic dive
TB on the pp

TB should decline the pp's
they were playing good up until they got the pp

Now the Panthers actually play the puck with 6 men on the ice, no call....

3:01 left in the 2nd.

pp ends and several tics later
prospal scores(on a nice pass from Vinnie L)
2-2

now it's the canes turn to take an obvious dive
Car on the pp



two refs and they cannot catch 6 men on the ice ?
I say go back to the one ref system !

2:50 left, Semin to the box for hooking.

Save BJ at 2:08..... ES with :50 left....

2-2 end 2nd.

2nd ends in Car
2-2

starting to look like we'll be having another of those 3 point games here.
I just love the point for losing .

Looking the same here, as Caps just wasted another PP.

TB should change their name to the Vinnie L/M st louis Lightning.
those two seem to be on the ice all the time
their line has 16 of TB's 21 sogs tonight

TB gets a pp
lots of passing but no shooting
pp killed

Still 2-2, but the Cats are going on the PP with 10:34 left in regulation.

Morrisonn in the box.

mon scores an early 3rd per goal
3-2 Ott

For a team trying for the playoffs, and plying one of the worst teams in the League, the Panthers aren't showing much in the way of championship hockey tonight.

Back to ES. 8:32 left in regulation.

Finally !
a close up of the Cane Girls(but no Holly)



this game it appears that both teams are playing for the guarantee point .
and there still 10 mins to go

color me embarrassed
TB scores !!!!!!!!!!!!!
3-2 MSL gets it
a tasty looking blonde wearing a Bolt uni in the crowd celebrated with some bounciness

Kuba is credited with the goal but Msl deflected.

car gets a pp right after the TB goal

done diddly on it so far

Caps on another PP...... Ovie turns it over, and Olesz comes in on a SH breakaway..... loses the puck, doesn't even get a shot off.

Back to ES with 3:04 left in regulation.

OT in Florida.

Vinnie L now has 50
4-2 less than 5 mins to go

4 mins to go and many of the Canes faithfull have given up
lots of people have already left the building

WHL action
Chilly in Van starts in 30 mins


TB gets a late pp
Car is done this game and probally for the season .

First minute of OT, Johnson robs Bouwmeester........

3:30 left.....

Florida gets a PP with 3:18 left.

TB wins 4-2

Florida may have scored, but it's under review.

Quick review.

3-2 Florida, final.

See you for the Caps-Bolts tomorrow.

at least there wasn't a shootout
see ya next game
