About last night: Dubie! and other bits
A few disconnected musings from last night in the NHL...
- Washington's 11th consecutive win puts them 10 points ahead of 2nd-place New Jersey ... the Devils, who started Yann Danis, lost 3-0 to the Maple Leafs. J.S. Giguere threw the shutout in his Leafs debut, and Dion Phaneuf had a fight and probably a dirty hit (I don't know, I didn't watch, but it's Phaneuf so you just assume). Frankenphaneuf even showed the early signs of developing an opposable thumb. Which means the Leafs will make the playoffs and win the Cup this year, for sure.
- Olli Jokinen made his debut for the Rangers, and it was same as it ever was: Jokinen was minus-2, and the Rangers' only goal came from Marion Gaborik in the 2-1 loss in Los Angeles.
- Oh, and the Kings? Supposedly they're after Kovalchuk in a deal with Atlanta.
- And the Thrashers? They lost to the Lightning at home, 2-1, but at least it was in regulation. With the Islanders' four days off, teams are burning their games in hand, but the Isles are still just three points out of 8th.
- Out West, ex-Islander Adrian Aucoin was the hero in the 10th round of a shootout in a scoreless Coyotes-Predators tilt. ... And Wade Dubielewicz made a most rare start for Minnesota, giving up four goals on 18 shots. ... And in San Jose, the Red Wings beat the Sharks for the third time this season. Talk about being in someone's kitchen? The 8th-place Wings are 17 points behind 1st-place San Jose, but when they play each other...different story.
You maybe didn't need all that, but it was an interesting night anyway. Maybe you saw some goodness you want to talk about.

We get to see Phaneuf 11 whole days earlier. Hopefully we will call up Gillies for that game. That ought to add a new spark to the Maple Leafs rivalry.
Will work...for playoffs.
I don’t know about Gillies — I want some muscle in the lineup that Gordon will actually play!
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
KO vs Phaneuf
Screw Gillies, Rechliz, Morency, Fritz whoever,
I want to see KO do like Youngblood and stick battle and then go with Phaneuf.
well colin white stood up for parisi, after dion went for a big hit (zach was able to elude most of it) but white strode on over and took the 2 for roughing along with the 5 for fighting… not much of a fight, but a message was sent — hope the isles watched that game and learned a little something
why isn't #16 hanging in the rafters?
Kovalchuk to the Kings?
Maybe. But Waddell has told him to start packing.

Move to Flushing, Queens, Charles Wang!! Get away from the insane politics of Nassua
would love for Sather to give away half the fracnhise to get him
but the Kings are more likely. NHL.COM had already indicated that he was likely to move before the freeze.
