Well, for a goalie it doesn't get much better than a shutout win, unless you throw in scoring a goal. Brodeur didn't score, but he shutout the Avs for his 99th career shutout. Wow. The Avs aren't the greatest team this year, but without watching the game, I'd say that sounds like little to no rust on his game. Like Tiger, I dont' think Brodeur would come back without his "A" game.
Sens had a breakdown. Brian Lee, who's a promising rookie defenseman, took a pretty marginal holding call with the Sens up 1-0. He obviously mouthed off to the ref on his way to the box and got an unsportsmanlike call too. That put the #2 powerplay in the league on display for 4 minutes. They scored on both minors. 1-2. Sens couldn't get the equalizer. If they had dressed 7 defensemen, I don't think Lee would have seen the ice again. He re-appeared in the third. I expect the press and probably the coach to eat him alive today. Too bad. The Sharks were looking slow after playing the Wings last night. It was their chance for taking down a top team. I've only got the trade deadline to look forward to.
Kings are sliding. They got shutout by Philly the other night. They have to keep winning to stay in the playoff hunt. Tonight is the Red Wings. C'mon Kings, I need at least one team in the playoffs.
