Another Day, Another Zamboni Ride

Hurricanes 3, Canucks 1


Brendan Morrison scored late in the third to cut the Carolina lead to 1, but it didn’t matter as Carolina prevailed and pushed their record to 5-1-3 on the year. Cam Ward stopped a whole mess of shots (19!) and is now 5-0 in regulation this year.


Using my many years of hockey knowledge and experience and other words that mean roughly the same thing, I can tell you that the Hurricanes are not a very good team if they have to play for more than 60 minutes. Also, if they lead at the end of the third period, they are pretty likely going to get the “W.”


Canadiens 6, Bruins 1


This game was closer than the score indicates. And of course, by close, I mean that both teams were in the same arena. Cristobal Huet (my fantasy goalie) stopped 31 shots and only gave up one goal towards the end of the game because he felt so bad. Everybody and their mum scored a goal for Montreal. Like who, you might be wondering. Well, Christopher Higgins. Who else? Christopher Higgins’ mum. (If you don’t get it watch Hot Fuzz you heathen.)


Dennis Wideman got the feel-good goal of the day for Boston. He also got a new pair of slacks. Lucky bastard.


Sharks 4, Flames 1


In yet another close game, San Jose jumped out to a 4-0 lead before letting Calgary cut it to 4-1 with two and a half minutes remaining. Evgeni Nabokov stopped 19 of 20 for the win. The Sharks are 5-3-1 this season, refusing to have composite numbers in their record.


Also, it should be noted that 1 is considered neither prime nor composite.
