Went to the HURRICANES - SABRES game tonight. Wow!

Cam Ward was amazing... but Lalime was excellent for the Sabres as well (Miller is out.) 'Canes won... in a flippin' shootout! Sabres get a point, which ties us for the 8th spot.... but only 2 points out of 5th. Wild night in Raleigh!

The East is really tight, Joe, March is going to be a great month for hockey.

Probably academic, though... Detroit and San Jose are absolute beasts! Probably mow through the Eastern Conference. But there is a reason they play the games, isn't there?

While I think the West is better than the East, once in the playoffs, it can be a disadvantage. Last year I don't think the sharks would have had a chance beating Detriot after going through the flames and stars, just too many hard games in a short period of time though.

You're right... just hope it ends up well for the East.

Especially my 'Canes!

Martin Brodeur's first game back and he gets a shutout. Not too shabby.

Crosby might not play tonight?

Oh......Bummer.
