Nice W!!! Ovi's not going anywhere. Waived the Pens off when they tried to line up and salute the GOAT!! I think he'll sign for 3 @ 8.5 and go for 1k.  :snicker:   :P


Fun game! Another SHUTTY for LT!!

AND Liljegren, coming off the bench after not having played for awhile, played the 2nd most minutes of any defenseman, contributing to the shutout, so he couldn't have been doing too much wrong. 


Next two nights decides it.  Let's see what Philly does.

Yes I though Liljegren has looked good in the games he's played.  I don't know why they don't play him over TVR.  Liljegren has got some wheels on him.  Seems to be pretty offensive minded - more O than D.  Maybe that's why TVR gets the nod.  That and TVR is a known entity.  I think vs teams with speed though TVR is a liability.
TVR got the game winner yesterday, so I gladly eat my hat over knocking him  ;D

I have yet to hear an update on Sandin.  It was a weird injury.  Definitely should have been 2 min interference but it was not a bad hit in any way.  I think his skate caught and he tweeked his knee.  He sure seemed to be in pain.

Man do we need Canes and Montreal to be good to us.  Canes have little left to play for...but 1 point would guarantee them 1st in the east, so they want that point.  Montreal is fighting Buffalo for top in Atlantic, so they do need to win.
Certainly would love to see our playoff hopes come down to us in the last game of the season.

GO CANES! GO HABS!  (for next few games anyway)
FFS - HIT HIM!!!
SHOOT - THE - PUCK

I hadn't noticed just how mobile Liljegren is, with the puck. And better yet, never really noticed him in the D zone (so he was doing his job) No idea why he never got a sweater.
