Todays Matchups, etc.

Well, I guess I should blog pretty much daily to either bitch or complain or whatnot. If you haven't read "The Brian Burke Theory," check it out - it's my best piece of work to date. If you're looking to see any of my graphs or my data, drop me a note. I compiled salary and stats for the league in 2006-07. It's a pretty giant file and a lot of work went into it but I don't mind sharing it if people are interested. Also if you have any intuitive ways to add hits to my equations let me know. I put a massive amount of time into that paper and am still awaiting a mark.

Rangers/Devils, game 3 - what the shit, Brodeur? Three shitty goals in three games - completely unlike him; what are you going to do though? He's soon to be statistically the best ever; hopefully he can get a fourth cup to tie Roy in that respect. John Madden's goal was brutal - I think it went off Mark Staal. And what about Avery? He's a little shit, but you have to admire his ballsiness and willingness to do anything to win. That screening he pulled against Brodeur, kind of genius, I can't lie. He's probably worse than Dino Ciccarelli was.

I missed the Philly game, but apparently I didn't miss much, the highlights were short on TSN, and Ovechkin did nothing so I really don't care to see extended ones. Go Caps.

So Iggy just scored to make it 3-1 Sharks, brutal start for the Flames, but who else but Iginla from Phaneuf to get them on the board. Kipper was soft to start the game but at the same time the Flames pretty much just stank as a whole. Hopefully Cujo is money tonight. Remember when Cujo and the Leafs had heart? I don’t really either.

Okay, so the Habs played game three versus the Bruins today and it was a pretty good match. Tim Thomas gets two 'Andre the Giant' thumbs up. He made several huge saves in OT and definitely stole the show. As for the game winner, who else but Marc Savard - he deserves it. In the game last night he made this dirty little fake pass back to the defenseman that the Habs forward totally bit on. They didn't score, but it was beautiful; Cherry showed it. Cherry picked him to score for Boston last night, but he did it tonight instead - beautiful pass by Schaefer. While on the topic of last nights game - Kovalev's OT winner was such a dirty shot - Top Shelf, Where Mom Hides the Cookies.
