Good morning! Coffee is piping hot! Ilya Bryzgalov came back with a bang, 1 3-0 shutout, and followed that up with a stinker and pulled from the game. This is what you're gonna get. I've noticed lately a lot of back-to-back nights where the same goalie started both games. Interesting. You just knew that the Rangers were going to be stoked playing against former Head Coach John Tortorella yesterday. Chris Kreider certainly was evidenced by that hat trick. Rangers backup goalie Cam Talbot is pretty darn good. He has a 6-1-0 record. Slowly but surely Columbus Blue Jacket Ryan Johansen is becoming a star. But how can a player lead his team in SOG with just 2 in a game?  Really! Montreal is quietly inching up their way in the standings. Price is playing magnificent in net and the offense is starting to heat up. The Maple Leafs now with 4 losses in a row. Their goaltending is starting to slip a little. The Max Factor is heating up big time in Montreal. 2 goals, 1 assists and 10 SOG last night. A true testament that this is a team game, take a look at the Pittsburgh Penguins. I know they have Crosby and Malkin, but ever since they got Letang and Neal back from injuries, they have been a terror to play against. Neal has scored at last one goal in 5 of his last 7 games. It's a good thing Steve Bernier scored in overtime in that 1-0 Buffalo-New Jersey game or we still might be waiting the outcome. Remember early in the season when the Flyers were bad? Not anymore! Chicago is so damn good. Glad to see Colonel Klinkhammer getting a goal after going 5 games without a point. And, he was the only Coyote with a + next to his name. With Landeskog, Duchene and MacKinnon, these Avs are going to be sick in a few years. Zach Parise is a true hockey player with his return after missing only one game with a foot injury. Calgary beat the Los Angeles Kings. I repeat. The Calgary Flames beat the Los Angeles Kings. Great late game last night with San Jose prevailing at home in a shootout with the Anaheim Ducks. I think Evander Kane is about to go off. Have a great week!
