What the fuck? Two shitty games by Nabokov in a row. I didn't comment last time because a win is a win but that's ugly.

Backstrom is back!

Great, now who do I scratch?

Big win. No idea how they go from losing to New Jersey, to beating San Jose, but i'll take it. Paul Martin's best game as a member of the Canadiens, with 3 points. Demitra and Plekanec with 2 points each as well. No idea where Kostitsyn and Gagner were, but I'll take the secondary scoring.

Two former Manitoba Moose forwards lighting the lamp in Norfolk, Fedor with two goals. I think Marc-André Bernier has a change of being an NHL player in EHEC land.

22 games, 0 goals and 0 assists.

Gooo Taylor Hall

Now that's an efficient power play.

Seriously, Ekman-Larsson injured for more than a month during fucking TRAINING? What's up with that? Sorry for not sending in updated lines; I somehow didn't even notice this happened.

Some of those kama sutra positions can lead to pulled muscles.

As Ron Simmons would say.....Damn!

Woo, I'm liking these results, especially against a division rival. Vanek's really been turning up the heat, and Huse has been a solid contributor on the PP. Let's hope we can continue to ride this wave of awesomeness.

That's more like the Thrashers we know and love.
