Bruins beat the Thrashers 4-3 in a SO

Bruins beat the Sabres 2-1 in OT

The Hawks follow up a 5-2 win in Edmonton over the Oilers with a 1-0 win over the Canucks with Antti Niemi gaining the shut out helping the Hawks to a 7 game winning streak.

How did Capitals get on over Maple Leaves the other night?

Leafs won 2-1 in SO

Hossa makes his long awaited Blackhawks debut in San Jose against the Sharks. He grabs 2 goals in the Hawks 7-2 demolision of the Sharks. Hawks now head to Annaheim hoping to extend the win run to 9.

Thought the Hawks looked very good.

They did, very strong offensively and everyone playing team defence and working for each other. Think Hossa is going to be a major plus, hopefully the management can keep this group of young players together for a long time.
Looks better in goal too than at the start with both Huet & Niemi hitting some form and competing for the starting spot.

Good time to be a Hawks fan

Bruins beat the Senators 4-3 in a SO

Leafs defeat the Habs 3-0 in Montreal, a day after going down by the same score to the Sabres on home ice

Always a great result to see the Leafs down the Frenchies especially on their home ice

The 3rd goal was quality aswell. Kessel gets the puck deep in the leafs defensive zone, looks up and fires a perfect pass between two habs dmen to Stagen. He contoled the bouncing puck perfectly, and fires an unstoppable shot into the top right hand corners. A brilliant goal and one of the best the leafs have scored this season.

After a shocking start the leafs are looking very competative again. I am a glass half full man, so it would not surprise me if they manage to finish 8th in the East and sneak into the play offs.

Boston Bruins beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-1 and also signed Marc Savard to a new 7 year contract

Great news for the Hawks as Toews, Kane & Keith agree & sign long term extensions to their contracts, the new Stan Bowman GM era is now up and running.

Bruins beat the Leafs 7-2 with Marc Savard getting a hat trick

Awful performance from the Leafs

Stan has now got to work out how to fit everybody under the cap next season.

Leafs get five 2nd period goals to secure a 5-2 home victory against the Thrashers

Thats going to be a tough job, think we will end of up losing a few but I'm sure the way the organisation is run now they'll be able to do a good job.

Hawks beat the Rangers in OT 2-1 totally outplaying and outshooting them 41-18, Lundquist playing out of his skin to help the Rangers avoid a heavy defeat.

Not sure this has already been posted, but are they turning Fenway Park into an ice rink for a Bruins game?

Yep they certainly are, work starts at Fenway today ready for the Bruins V Flyers on January 1st.

Bit risky isn't it, as the weather generally isn't great up there at that time of the year is it.

The game is the Winter Classic which the NHL have been doing once every year since 2008 Sabres V Pittsburgh at Ralph Williams Stadium NY, 2009 Blackhawks V Redwings at Wrigley Field Chicago.

The predecessor to the Winter Classic games was the Heritage Classic which took place in Edmonton and was the Oilers V Montreal

Hawks blank to Bolts 4-0 with Antti Niemi getting himself his 3rd shut out of the season from only 8 starts!!!

Marian Hossa scoring a great goal gloving down a high puck and rifling it in on the volley before the puck hit the ice taking him to a return of 9pts from 9 games since his Hawks debut after injury.
