Penguins 8 Leafs 2: The story goes, in Simcoe Reformer lore, that once a staff writer watched a local junior club stink it up. Next day, the game story consisted of, "My mother always said, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all," followed by a huge space left blank. Why can't the Toronto papers do that today after the Leafs got shredded for five power-play goals by the Kansas City Crosbys?
The Leafs are 3-2 on a crucial eight-game stretch we've identified, meaning after the all-star break they'll have to run the table against the Habs, Hurricanes and Rangers to finish off February. So it is written, so it shall be done. Shyeah...
Team Mud 3 Bruins 0: Yeah, it's so exciting to write about games that were essentially decided once someone got the first goal. Dany Heatley, with a pair, hit the 30-goal mark just hours after Marian Hossa got there. Is there any other connection between those two? Can't remember.
Habs 4 Sabres 3: Montreal could use a lot more of what Alexander Perezhogin did to set up the winning goal after the all-star break. Montreal's first goal was a gong show for Martin Biron, with puck caroming weirdly off the end boards while he flopped around, no doubt certain he looked like the perfect A-hole.
Flames 4 Oilers 0: Edmonton must have taken off for the all-star break early.
