tb/nj
buff/isles(minus Hill)

Buff are wearing their tasty retro uni's

tb gets an early pp
st louis coughs up the puck and madden gets a clear breakaway but is stoned by holmqvist

NYI-Buf here. Isles have a hard go of it with Sean Hill suspended the next 20 games. Put a Chris Simon on top, and I think the Isles is finished.

Got the album "The Cars" blasting on the CD thingy, TV on mute.

Isles seem to be doing ok so far, considering. over 9:00 gone, and still scoreless.

Next up, I'm going to the audio tape (don't have a CD) of Talking Heads- "Stop Making Sense".

so far the best chances have come when the teams have been shorthanded
tb just had a 2 on 1 shorty
MB saved it


Parise hobbled off the ice
looks like a foot injury

my cd thingy is turned off
I may throw some Stones in later on tonight

9 mins to go
still scoreless

He's been their best player- NJ can least afford to lose him. Gomez and Gionta better pick it up several notches if he doesn't come back.

announcers now say it may just be a broken blade on Parise skate
hasn't returned

the scoring machine
andy greene

makes it 1-0 NJ




more than a few empty seats in nj

Still zippy here, 5:00 left in the 1st. Oops- was going to hit post, but watch Buf fire in a goal with 4:56 left. Drew Stafford on the backhand.

Parise is back
it was a broken skate blade

1-0 Buffalo, end 1st.

"Psycho Killer" bothering the neighbors......

always loved.......pyscho killer



1-0 after 1 in nj

Bobbing to "Slippery People"....

I guess this was upset some on the OB
Hrudey wonders why Gomez has been less than good this series
ordinary at best.
Asks if he is thinking about his upcoming UFA status (not wanting to get injured )


rumor
NJ will hire Brent Sutter as coach this offseason

Isles a BAD turnover by their D behind Ricky D, and the puck comes out front and fired into the cage.

2-0 Buffalo

"Once In A Lifetime".... (this album is so good, I'd forgotten.)

rusian fedotenko has been a bad boy
he's dressed but has yet to touch the ice

why a coach would dress a player he does not plan to use seems a little silly to me

"Life During Wartime".... This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
this ain't no fooling around
This ain't no mudd club, or C. B. G. B.
I ain't got time for that now....

a boring 2nd per gets a little life
or at least a goal is scored
Gionta gets it
2-0

Isles have played a good period, minus that turnover and another failed PP...

"Take Me To The River"....

Soon as I posted that, Buffalo scores again.

3-0, and this one's about done (Buf on another PP now).

not much is happening in nj
still 2-0 under 5 mins to go

3-0, end 2nd.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

well to show how exciting the nj/tb game is
I was washing my dishes instead of watching the last few mins

2-0 after 2

looks like tootoo and erat well not be in the preds lineup tonight

Isles have potted a couple, but the Sabres got one in between, and it's 4-2 with 10:00 left in regulation.

Isles score again, and making a game of it- 4-3, with 6:53 left in regulation.

Gomez scores a en goal
3-0

now we have a fight
roy/rupp

now we have another tilt
pratt/lagenbruner(sp?)

now the coaches are exchanging bad words

The Isles gave it the good try, but with :10.4 left it looks like curtains.

4-3 final.

Buff moves on, Islanders move out.

the game here ends 3-0
scrum at the final whistle but no damage done

I am off to the Pub
see ya on Sat

mañana.
