Ahh..another Friday night of doing nothing but watching ice hockey. A great match-up tonight, the Sabres vs. the Penguins. It's Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby against Maxim Afinogenov and Jaroslav Spacek.
Speaking of which, Afinogenov just scored!!!!!!!!! 1-0 now.
Stars beat the Thrashers! Stefan has 3 points in return to Atlanta.
AAAHH Afinogenov ALMOST made that! He was rushin' (well duh, he was born in Moscow! haha..) down the ice at top speed, the announcers were yelling, he shot quickly....and missed.
Yay! The Stars are doing really well this year.
LOL
Malkin takes his first shot (and misses :( ), and gets buried in the swarm of players around the goal, and a little slow to get up off the ice.
Malkin gets a penalty for interference on Spacek.
GOAL!!
Crosby gets his skates sharpened in the middle of the period and has to hurry to get back on the ice not to miss his shift.
YES! Crosby scores AGAIN!!
Empty net.
:^(
Malkin's stick breaks, Pens pull their goalie, and Kotalik scores. Game over, 4-2. Buffalo wins again!
Yes, Stars are doing well so far; they really needed that win in Atlanta though - three goals in the first period is a great way to break out of a scoring slump!
Wouldn't you know that Patrick Stefan (first player picked by Thrashers - total bust) would play for Dallas and score a goal & an assist in beating his old team last night.
The Buckeyes won tonight ;0)
OK, now on to hockey...
Rangers and Penguins tonight. Can Crosby and Malkin pull off a win this time?
Ah, Lundqvist's back now
Jagr takes a puck in the shin and stays injured on the bench. Fedor Tyutin gets toppled by a Penguin, then two other guys get in a fight and the ref has to break 'em up.
I'm watching College Football and the Canadiens game.
The TV broadcast is in French..so its kind of neat.
MTL-0 ATL-0 first period 11:15
Jordan Staal scores for the Penguins! 1-0
Cool..I took French a few years ago but forgot a lot of it. That was some game between Ohio State and Michigan!
