OK guys, lets test you.
Tonight, The Avs beat Tampa Bay in a shoot out. Tampa shot first and after there 3rd try had not scored. The Avs had shot twice and had not scored but won. So there were 5 shoot out tries, no goals scored,but the Avs won. How did the Avs win?

Because the Bolts netminder was ruled to have thrown his stick as Hejduk was taking his shot. If on a penalty shot a stick is thrown the ref's can award the goal

I see Sundin has finally made up his mind and signed a 1 year deal with the Canucks "shock-horror"

Chicago complete the sweep of western Canada with a 3-1 win against the Canucks last night.The way the Hawks are playing the game at Wrigley in a couple of weeks might be a battle for the division lead.

After watching the Hawks lately they look like a team that are going to be a real force in the next few years due to the young age.
They play with great attacking flair, have good defence and are running 4 lines every game. Against the Canucks they just look so fluid and when they do give teams a chance in front of goal Khabibulin & Huet are both on form snuffing out most of them.

Its unfair to pick anyone out but feel that the likes of Kane & Toews have been revelations to the Hawks and hard to think they were rookies last season. Also mention goes to Versteeg who's another rookie that has come in and looked the part on the ice.

Joel Quenneville has taken the team to a much higher level than Savard probably could have. They whole team really see to respond to his coaching and tactics and it is paying off big time and long may it continue. Would be nice to see the Hawks become Divisional Champions again as they haven't done that since it was the Norris Division.

Really looking forward to the game at Wrigley Field and feel the Hawks can really mount a serious challenge for Lord Stanley this season.

The season just gets better and better for the Hawks.Yesterday they thrashed the previously red hot Flyers 5-1 and in the process tied a team record with their 8th win in a row and set a Hawks regular season record crowd with 22,712 watching the win.
