new jersey up 2-1 on the isles.

a win for new jersey pushes the devils to first in the conference.

thrashers and flyers under way...

both teams with 27 points. as long as it doesnt go to over time...

montreal, behind the sabres, lead the caps, above the sabres.

Boston & Ottawa went to overtime. We're tied with the loser, and a point down to the winner. We've got a game in hand on Ottawa, three in hand on Boston.

had to toss this in here since it's kinda an update thread....

myers update after tonight....23 games played 3 goals 10 assits...good for a tie for 5th on the team in points...on pace for around 45 points or so....not too shabby for a rookie d-man

Manning the machine gun on the Tyler Myers Bandwagon - just in case any teams have an idea of prying him away from us (3 GM's shot already)

Connolly/Roy - 2 goals in the last 47 playoff games

montreal lost in a shoot out. they are now 4 points behind the sabres, in 4 more games. washington is up 6 points on the sabres. but in 3 more games.

_________________

Boston wins. Sabres are tied with Ottawa for second place in the division with a game in hand, and down by one point for the division lead that Boston holds but have three games in hand.

3 point games suck.

Games in hand are only good if they win. Here's hoping our boys win.

panthers tie it up with atlanta. the thrashers are right behind the sabres.

_________________

Panthers need to win it in regulation...a win in OT still gives the Thrashers the tying point.

ATL leading 3-2 with about 5:45 left to play in the second.

At the end of the second the Cats and Thrash are tied at 3

post more, please. finally, someone besides phil and i looking at the standings, and not the teams playing and personal feelings (personal feelings against the rags allowed)

_________________

Heh, well the standings are what I concentrate most on, next to Millers stats. Toronto up 3-0 on Montreal at the end of the 2nd, so looking good so far.

I kind of want to stay up to watch San Jose skullfuck the Senators tonight. But the game starts a half an hour before I get in bed.

20 more minutes of game time before one half of the night's outcomes go in our favor.
