Bruins beat the Leafs 2-0

It's been a bad week for the Blackhawks.I don't think they've won since Hossa got injured,they needed Toews and Kane to step up but they haven't.They are 4th in the division having played at least 3 more games than the rest of the teams.Unless the big name players start playing better it could be a struggle to qualify for the playoffs.

Finally Toews and Kane came to play last night as the Blackhawks beat Atlanta 5-4 with 2 goals each from T and K.

Bruins beat the Penguins 7-4

Hawks still trying to find some form and consistency going down at the United again this time 2-1 against the Yotes. Still think come midway we'll have picked up and get on a roll. Just need a little patience.

Any of you play NHL 11 on the xbox 360? If so and your interested in playing in a league we are currently trying to increase our numbers at www.xbln.net. If you fancy playing 2 or 3 league games a week drop me a pm and I'll give you more details. I thought I would have more luck posting here rather than the gaming thread as that just full of black ops fanboys hope that's ok.

3 point weekend for the Blackhawks.SO loss on Sat and OT win last night.They're hanging on to a playoff spot but they've played a lot more games than everyone else.

In other NHL news I see Avery once again last night showed how classless he is.Smid of the Oilers asked him to fight but Avery said no next shift then when Smid turned his back Avery sucker punched him to the ice.Avery is lucky the Rangers don't play the Oilers again because if they did he wouldn't last 5 mins.Also the 1st coach to lose his job this season is Scott Gordon of the Islanders.Not a good time to be an Islander fan,old arena and owner that looks like he'll move the team soon unless he gats a new updated building.They've got some good young players but they need more top notch players to help them learn how to be an NHL player.

I'll be getting a live subscription soon, and was thinking about getting NHL 11, so if I do, I'll definately keep this in mind. Sounds like a cracking idea!

Bruins beat the Devils 3-0

Rangers lose to the Bruins 3-2. Couple of daft mistakes leading to Boston goals, mainly from Giradi and Gilroy. Still on the plus side, Gaborik is scoring for fun at the moment and the heritage kit the Blueshirts wore looked fantastic, so much so I think I might have to get one if they go on sale.

The Blackhawks follow up one of their best performances of the season(5-0 win at Edmonton) with easily their worst losing 7-2 in Calgary.There's just no consistency from one game to the next.Hopefully being on HNIC tonight against their newest big rivals the Canucks will bring out the best in them.

Well the Hawks are consistent at the moment as they are consistently up and down in performances so far this season, but glad they bounced back from the shocking performance with a 7-1 drubbing of the Canucks.

Have to say that although we have been patchy to say the least this season I do think that once they get it sorted they will be back in the hunt for another good cup run. Quenneville just needs to find the missing piece to the puzzle as to why they are so hot and cold, as the additions of Bickell, Stalberg, Skille and Pisani are now finding their feet in the team.

On a sad note Pat Burns has sadly passed away on Friday after beating colon and liver cancer previously to finally lose his fight with lung cancer, RIP one of the great guys of the NHL and one hell of a fighter against an evil and cruel disease.

We just need Luongo in the net against us more often



Burns should have been elected into the HOF this year while he was still alive.500 wins as coach,winning a stanley cup with the Devils and getting coach of the year with 3 teams should have been enough to get him in.Hopefully it will be put right next year and he will go in.

Chicago's win,lose,win,lose season continues.Still hanging on to a playoff place but when everybody catches up in games played well be near to the bottom of the conference if we don't string a winning run together.

Nice to see the Caps brushing off some awful form to take their last 3 games.



2 close ones against Carolina though, especially this last one.

Big blow for the Blackhawks as Hossa is out again for 3 weeks with an injury caused by a teamate in practice.

Hawks beat the Blues in a rough tough encounter at the United 7-5.

Hossa missing again is a blow but Morin stood in well and hopefully the Hawks will be able to keep the run going now.

The Thrashers are in great form at the moment, 6 from 6 and looking very dangerous.

The Blackhawks have now lost Kane for a few weeks to add to the Hossa injury,looks like we'll get to see some of the young players and see how they're progressing.

Also missing Pisani who has been chipping in with the points.

Hawks beat the Stars 5-3 although yet again nearly blowing a 3 goal lead. Bickell & Morin chipping in with goals along with Toews, Brouwer and Sharp with the empty net goal to seal it at the death.

Boston Bruins dealt forward Marco Sturm to the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday for future considerations

A new attendance record was set at the weekend when University of Michigan (Wolverines) took on Michigan State University (Spartans). The game dubbed 'The big chill in the big house' was held at the Michigan Football Stadium had an attendance of 113,411 and was won 5-0 by the Wolverines.

I seem to have jinxed Washington by tipping them for the Stanley cup final.six losses in a row now and Ovechkin is struggling to get going this season.

It's hard enough seeing the puck in a normal arena so how hard must it have been to watch from the back rows

then again most people will have just gone to be part of the event than to watch the game.

Too true, just hope I have a decent view come Thursday as I take to the Garden for the Rangers vs Yotes!!!

The Hawks up and down season continues and Turco has the wobbles letting in 4 from 10 before being yanked by Quenneville eventually losing 7-5 in Denver to the Av's
