Leafs Vs Bruins Tonight - Hazel Karma?

Hey Peeps and anyone else checking in. A special "Hey" goes out to Hazel Mae if she is checking in on this big NHL night.

A quiet day here - not much to say; aren't you thankful?

Tough day in Europe yesterday, FC Porto threw everything (and I mean everything) at Schalke 04 but could only manage a 1-0 win in regulation - and 0-0 in extra time, despite launching 31 shots at goal. The game went to penalty shots and the boys in blue and white lost - meaning they are out of Champions League.

If that didn't suck enough - everyone the Maple Leafs are chasing picked up at least a point last night. There isn't much to say - they have to win tonight. They WILL win tonight. Note to Hazel if she is reading this - if you are going to the game, Leaf Nation wants to see you with something blue - we need Hazel Karma at the Banknorth Garden tonight.

WEDNESDAY'S THREE STARS
Washington Capitals LW Alexander Ovechkin had two goals in a 3-1 win over Buffalo - from a Leaf Nation perspective the bright side is it wasn't a three point game, the down side is Ovechkin is heating up again.

San Jose Sharks C Patrick Marleau had two goals, including the winner in overtime to beat the Tards by a count of 3-2. Tards and their fans still celebrating moral victories - "pickng up one point is huge for us" ya right.

Chicago Blackhawks G Cory Crawford stopped all 19 shots in a 3-0 win over Anaheim - Ducks must have been looking ahead to tonight's game.

THURSDAY THREE PLAY
Tough night last night, splitting the picks and winding up even for the week - Dallas killed my pro-line last night, so if you played them, I feel your pain. Tonight's suggestions:

Montreal over Phoenix - the Habs can take over first place in the Northeast division with a win over Phoenix tonight - the Coyotes screwed the Three Play last night (they always do), but you have to think Dallas took a good piece out of them. Last time I pick a game involving Phoenix. Lay $100 on the Habs - $120.

Nashville over Vancouver - the Canucks are a mess right now, they can't score and Roberto Luongo hasn't been superhuman lately; meanwhile the Predators have been playing some pretty good hockey - expect them to carry over the momentum from pounding the Oilers and win tonight. Lay $100 on the Predators + $120.

Pittsburgh over Florida - with Crosby back, the Penguins are almost at full strength - almost, but still more than enough to beat the Panthers. Lay $100 on the Pens - $150 (this one is a gift)

I'd suggest Minnesota over Carolina, but I'm hating the Wild for costing me on Pro-Line last night - oh yeah, for those of you who are college hoops fans...I hate Vanderbilt now, they killed me too.

That's it for today gang, thanks for taking the time to check in.

Hazel here's hoping things are groovy in your world.

I'm Out!
