Farm result: Worcester 0 - Hershey 6

A shout out to my Flyers for staying in the dressing room for the 3rd and completing an abysmal game against our rival from NY. A no surprise win for Boston while Crosby/Malkin get their act together in the shootout this time. The Lightning continue to roll but the Gods of EHM bite them again as Peca removes Stamkos from the lineup for a month (ankle), Kovalev notches the golden goal in a big win against the Avs while the Sharks and Caps put on a show in the main event of the evening. http://www.ehechockey.com/EHEC.zip will update you through the 2nd last day of the decade.

Clutch shootout scoring from the Russians (except Radulov) and the dreadful loss two months ago to SJ is avenged. Hershey's now unbeaten in 10 and Loktionov picks up four snipes!

Someone tell Evgeni Nabokov that the object of the shootout is to stop the puck.

Can't even hold a two goal lead, damn it.

Ouch.

Fun fact: The last time Nabokov made a save in a shootout was October 8. Can I just have Greiss playing goal in the shootout?

The amount of injuries this year is crazy, at least its just a month. Bochenski continues to prove he can play, and Norfolk rolls along.

Nice to know Sid and Malk are followed around the league. But, they couldn't buy me a game with more than 3 goals in December.
