[Virtual Jarmo]

Golden goal heroics don't net Lauri Korpikoski a star of the game, but he gets a gold star from GM Glen Ramsden, while Mattias Tedenby's OT winner and a late collapse cost Philly two points. Congrats to Nick Bjugstad for his first goal, and the Predators have a long night beginning with Ryan Suter's cross checking penalty 3 seconds in to the game.

All that and more here: http://www.ehechockey.com/EHEC.zip

[Bruins]

Since when do we take 7 penalties?

Golden goal heroics don't net Lauri Korpikoski a star of the game, but he gets a gold star from GM Glen Ramsden...

I'm a little disappointed that Doan didn't score all four goals himself, but meh, what are you gonna do. Korpi is nails. Props to Buffalo for putting up a such a good fight. I think I can count on one hand the number of games in which the Coyotes have been outshot this season.

Ryan Suter's cross checking penalty 3 seconds in to the game.

Three seconds in? What did he do, skate through the faceoff circle and and run down the center as soon as the puck dropped? Awesome.

[CapsGM]

I wish the powerplay could beast like that every game.

The West is looking pretty crazy - the Pacific's a bit more open than it was before, but all five teams are holding a playoff spot as of tonight. 98 points doesn't even get you 8th in the West at this pace!

[Montreal Canadiens]

Since when do we take 7 penalties?

Since when do I win games.

[SharksGM]

That sure is something. I'm surprised at the huge blowout considering the turnover count, but I guess it's all about offense from the defense (and only 5 skaters going pointless).

A big shout out to Nabokov for a solid game and Alex Grant for an under-appreciated monster game on the back end.

[DevilsGM]

A shorty las game and no PP goals tonight, but how can I be mad when we get revenge on the backside of the back to back. Mike Hoeffel and my grinders need a shout out as they were the ones to give Tedenby and the 1st line a chance at a game winner and another shout out to Philly as we just played 2 pretty good games back to back.
