    Didn't see the game but looks like some stellar goaltending from Steve Mason.

    Managed to catch the Habs game in work this morning, pretty impressive stuff. If they beat Carolina tomorrow it's their best win streak of the season.

    Would still probably be cheaper to order online, don't think I've ever seen NHL jerseys for sale in a sports shop in Ireland.

    The Red Wings won their 20th straight home game last night, one more and it's the biggest home streak in NHL history.

    They use to sell Nhl jerseys in sports shop here. It was before elverys took over. Got myself all the jerseys they had at the time. Think it was two or three they had at the time.

    Next game is massive for the Rangers. Win against the Bruins and we will have a nice cushion. Blackhawks at home after that.

    Funny how this happened so soon after he scored the goal.

    Calgary 6-2-2 in the last 10 :D

    They have gone from a 18% chance of making the playoffs to 46% :D:D

    Sure is. Lundqvist is an absolute boss, sure thing for the Vezina at this stage. Not regretting taking him as my first draft pick.

    4th in Wins (less games played than those ahead of him)
    1st in GAA for goaltenders with over 30 games or more played
    1st in Shutouts
    1st in Save %

    He's really being helped by the likes of Girardi, Del Zotto and especially McDonagh this season, they're putting their bodies on the line like no other team. I reckon the Rangers must block more shots than any other team I've seen this year. Pure dedication to the cause and that's why they're cruising in the East.

    Edit - McDonagh and Girardi are both in the top 5 for shots blocked in the NHL. Maybe that should be a category in the Fantasy league next year?

    Think that is a great idea. A blocked shot can be the difference between winning and losing a game. The PIMs category still bugs the hell out of me. Fail to see the logic in it.

    I feel the same about the +/- category. I understand the reasoning behind it etc but it's nearly impossible to control.

    With PIM's it is about getting a fine balance between a player who can produce the goods but pick up penalties along the way (i.e. - Milan Lucic, Corey Perry, Scotty Hartnell). It's rare enough to get a player who scores points and picks up penalties but they're all the more valuable when you find them.

    Jeez lads where did this come from?! Montreal trading blows with the Bruins, just raising their game for the rivalry or what? 3-3 with about 1:30 left in the last

    Chicago (eight defeats in last ten games) on the road against the Rangers (eight wins in last ten games). Everything pointing to a Rangers victory...

    4-0 Blackhawks after 10 minutes of the first period! Time for Lundqvist me thinks.

    Was on the Rangers forum last night and people were not happy that Biron was starting. To be fair, everyone needs a rest and with the win over Boston, which was massive, I think Torts was right to rest him last night. Nobody would have predicted that scorline given the form of the Blackhawks. Even with Biron in, I expected a win.

    I'm more surprised they left Biron in after that start. But fair play to Tortorella, he showed massive faith in Biron and rightly so as he has been a great backup this season.

    Shocked to see rumours of a Nash trade for Dubinsky (and more) coming through. As fantastic as Nash would be, Dubinsky is a Ranger through and through and only signed a new contract at the end of last season. Can't imagine what a trade at this stage of the season would do to the dressing room.

    In other news, HNIC is just about to kick off on Setanta Ireland with the Leafs-Canucks, followed on Setanta 1 by the Flames-Kings.

    I'd agree with that on recent form alright, Washington are the kind of team who can turn their form around very quickly though.

    If you're looking for a 2-month bet, Florida to win the Southeast Division is 5/2 on Bet365 even though they're top and in far better form than the Caps. Even the Jets at 9/2 looks good value.

    Switched off after the third goal, potentially classic game between the Bruins and Blues underway. 2-1 Bruins after about 10mins.
