  • NHL Game Night: 4-16-13 Lightning at Jets
    9 weeks 7 hours ago

    Semi-respectable result in garbage time of the season.

    TB-3
    WPG-4 (SO)

    Ben Bishop allowed 3 goals on 36 shots but then allowed 2 of 3 to score in the penalty shot for the old SOL.

    First Period
    01:23 WPG Ladd (17), (Wheeler, Little)
    10:27 TB St. Louis (12), (unassisted)

    Second Period
    08:37 WPG Wheeler (16), (Ladd, Bogosian)
    17:54 WPG Ladd (18), (Wheeler, Bogosian)(PP)

    Third Period
    05:19 TB Labrie (2), (Thompson, Gudas)
    11:17 TB Stamkos (27), (Carle)

    Overtime
    NO SCORING

    Shootout
    TB- NONE
    WPG- Santorelli, Ladd

    Winnipeg should consider themselves extremely fotunate to have survived Tampa Bay's deployment of the secret weapon, P.C. Labrie.

    Alex Killorn had 1 shot, 1 hit, and 1 blocked shot in 17:39.

    Richard Panik was +1 with 1 shot, 4 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 15:56. Interesting to see his ice time nudging up toward Killorn's.

    Radko Gudas had a helper, 1 shot, 3 hits, and 2 blocked shots in 16:11.

    Pierre-Cedric Labrie laid waste to a Pavelec rebound and all in his path for a goal, a +1 rating, 2 shots, and 3 hits in 10:49. If he gave Labrie anymore ice time, Cooper would have to turn himself in for war crimes.

  • ECHL Playoff Game Night: 4-15-13
    9 weeks 19 hours ago

    (4)Florida Everblades 6 vs. (5)Elmira Jackals 2
    Quarterfinals: Florida wins the best-of-seven series 4-2

    D Charles Landry, FLA: 0-0-0, +1, 0 SOG, 0 PIM
    Playoff totals: 6 GP, 0-1-1, -1, 4 PIM
    Season totals: 51 GP, 4-12-16, +7, 33 PIM

    Florida clinched an opening series victory in the comfy confines of German Arena by drawing first blood early, then adding three more goals in the opening frame to build a 4-1 lead that Elmira was unable to overcome. Unlike the previous game, the Everblades had little difficulty generating offense, managing to pump out double-digit shot totals (in sum, 37) in all three periods. Florida also won the special teams battle, going 2-for-5 with the man advantage while stonewalling Elmira on all three of its power play opportunities. Jesse Deckert stopped 19 of 21 Jackals shots in the contest. Florida advances to the semifinals where it will face Reading. The Everblades will begin the seven-game series on the road, with the first match against the Royals coming Friday night.

  • KHL Playoff Game Day: 4-15-13
    9 weeks 1 day ago

    KHL Playoffs (Russia):

    Gagarin Cup Finals:
    Dynamo Moscow 3 vs. Chelyabinsk 4
    Dynamo Moscow Leads the Series 3-2
    Nikita Nesterov, Chelyabinsk, 0-1-1, E, 0 PIM, 0 SOG
    Playoff totals: 18 GP, 0-4-4, -3, 6 PIM
    Regular season totals (KHL): 35 GP, 0-1-1, +6, 14 PIM
    Regular season totals (MHL): 2 GP, 0-0-0, E, 0 PIM

    Ex-NHLer Andrei Kostitsyn's goal with 4:58 left in regulation lifted Traktor Chelyabinsk to a 4-3, Game Five win over Dynamo Moscow. The series is extended to Game Six. Lightning prospect Nikita Nesterov again showed his flexibility by playing some forward. He played 11:21 in the match, going 17% on 7 draws and assisting on a First Period, even strength goal. Ex-Lightning draft pick Marek Kvapil continued his strong Finals by posting 1 goal and 1 assist in defeat for Dynamo. Despite previous indications he might leave Traktor to join Team Russia for the upcoming U18 World Junior Championships, potential top-10 pick Valery Nichushkin did suit up and was scoreless in 16:45 in the game. Game Six is Wednesday.

  • NHL Game Night: 4-14-13 Lightning at Sabres
    9 weeks 2 days ago

    Feel the Nichushkin-mentum.

    TB-1
    BUF-3

    Mathieu Garon allowed 3 goals on 22 shots for the loss including his obligatory 1 that he'd want back.

    First Period
    04:09 BUF Ennis (10), (Vanek, Ehrhoff)(PP)

    Second Period
    08:00 BUF Hecht (4), (Gerbe)
    12:37 BUF Porter (4), (Flynn, Ott)
    13:30 TB Pouliot (8), (Brewer, Lecavalier)

    Third Period
    NO SCORING

    The Lightning outshot Buffalo 33-22 with most of that coming once they spotted the Sabres the 3 goal lead. I have no idea what sort of weird sports psychology issue makes a team only start playing harder once they fall behind big. It's bizarre. That's something for Jon Cooper to sort out in the offseason. In the meantime, the Lightning will be looking at one of the big three draft prospects or possibly Traktor Chelyabinsk power forward Valery Nichushkin in their future.

    Alex Killorn had 3 shots in 20:26.

    Richard Panik was -2 with 2 shots and 1 hit. The biggest challenge for a young player isn't proving you can be brilliant as Panik was last night. The biggest challenge is proving you can do it consistently, and Panik was a non-factor tonight.

    Radko Gudas was -1 with 5 hits and 2 blocked shots in 17:40.

    (4)Florida Everblades 1 @ (5)Elmira Jackals 5
    Quarterfinals: Florida leads the best-of-seven series 3-2

    D Charles Landry, FLA: 0-0-0, -1, 0 SOG, 2 PIM (tripping)
    Playoff totals: 5 GP, 0-1-1, -1, 4 PIM
    Season totals: 51 GP, 4-12-16, +7, 33 PIM

    After beating Elmira twice in its own barn to push the Jackals to the brink of elimination, Florida came up well short in its first shot at clinching a series victory, falling 4-0 before mustering its first and only goal past the midpoint of the third period. The Everblades managed 28 shots in the game but had difficulty generating offense until the game was well out of reach, as only 11 of those came through the first two frames. Both clubs ended the match 1-for-5 with the man advantage. Jesse Deckert stopped 24 of 28 Jackals shots. Both clubs will next head back to Estero for the remainder of the series, with Game 6 to be played Monday night.

  • NCAA Game Night: 4-13-13
    9 weeks 2 days ago

    (West-3) Yale Bulldogs 4 vs (East-1) Quinnipiac Bobcats 0
    National Championship

    F Matthew Peca, QU: 0-0-0, -3, 0 PIM, 5 SOG
    Season totals: 39 GP, 15-15-30, +14, 36 PIM

    The magical ride of Quinnipiac and Matt Peca was going to end anyway on Saturday, but they would have preferred it end with a win. The top-ranked Bobcats, playing in their first national tournament, were beaten by upstart Yale, 4-0. It was the fourth time the two state and ECAC rivals met this year and the first time Yale won. It just happened to be for the national championship.

    There is a chance the Lightning starts Peca on the road to the NHL by signing him and placing him in AHL Syracuse next year, but that doesn’t seem like the normally patient approach by Bolts GM Steve Yzerman. If Peca returns for his junior year he will be one of the early Hobey Baker candidates.

  • Connolly Records Hat Trick, Crunch Top Amerks 5-1
    9 weeks 3 days ago


    By Jeremy Houghtaling

    In his first game since being sent down, Brett Connolly made an immediate impact.

    Reassigned by the Tampa Bay Lightning Friday, Connolly scored three times to lead the Syracuse Crunch to a 5-1 win over the Rochester Americans at the Onondaga County War Memorial Saturday.

    "I didn't expect to get three, but I wanted to help out and help the team win," he said. "I was fortunate enough to get a couple good looks and they went in for me."

    With the victory, Syracuse remains two points ahead of Binghamton in the East Division, and clinches home ice advantage in the first round of the postseason.

  • AHL Game Night: 4-13-13 Americans at Crunch
    9 weeks 3 days ago

    Back on track.

    RCH-1
    SYR-5

    Cedrick Desjardins allowed 1 goal on 21 shots for the victory.

    First Period
    SYR Connolly, (28) (Namestnikov, Korobov), 1:37

    Second Period
    SYR Connolly, (29) (Johnson, Palat), 8:28 (PP)
    SYR Johnson, (33) (Palat, Taormina), 10:11 (PP)
    SYR Wyman, (12) (Angelidis, Cote), 19:33

    Third Period
    SYR Connolly, (30) (Paradis, Lee), 2:08
    RCH Biega, (5) (Ellis, Mancari), 4:53

    Brett Connolly, Tyler Johnson, and Ondrej Palat were the game's three stars.

    The cavalry arrived, and just in time. Brett Connolly threw in a hat trick, his first as a pro, to get to 30 goals. For my money, this guy needs to be in the AHL MVP discussion prominently. He's been the most consistent Crunch player all year long, even more so than Tyler Johnson whose stats sagged a little after coming back from Lightning camp midway through the year. Connolly and Johnson are tied for 8th in the league in scoring at 60 points.

    Binghamton absolutely throttled Albany 5-0 to start the day, which put huge pressure on Syracuse to win. Meanwhile, Providence beat Springfield 2-0 in a head-to-head matchup that was advantageous for the Crunch. Syracuse remains 4 back of the Bruins, pulls into a tie with Springfield at 93 points, and remains 2 up on the Senators. All three teams have a game in hand on Syracuse, though. Next weekend, starting Friday, will be a 3-games-in-3-nights set to complete the regular season, all at home: Norfolk, Worcester, and a game against Binghamton that may well decide the East Division title. With Mark Barberio out of the lineup for Tampa Bay tonight and Victor Hedman back in, I would think more reinforcements are on the way, too.

  • NHL Game Night: 4-13-13 Lightning at Capitals
    9 weeks 3 days ago

    Moral victory?

    TB-5
    WSH-6 (OT)

    Ben Bishop allowed 3 goals on 20 shots before being pulled after the first period. Mathieu Garon allowed 3 on 18 the rest of the way for the old back door loss.

    First Period
    13:45 WSH Brouwer (16), (Ribiero, Ovechkin)(PP)
    18:45 WSH Hillen (2), (Beagle, Oleksy)
    19:22 WSH Ovechkin (27), (Backstrom)

    Second Period
    02:41 WSH Chimera (2), (Perrault, Oleksy)
    03:55 TB Panik (3), (Pyatt, Purcell)
    05:26 WSH Fehr (8), (Perreault)
    18:47 TB St. Louis (10), (Stamkos, Pouliot)

    Third Period
    04:23 TB Panik (4), (Gudas, Aulie)
    08:17 TB St. Louis (11), (Hedman, Pyatt)
    17:25 TB Purcell (11), (Pyatt, Panik)

    Overtime
    02:59 WSH Green (10), (Ribiero, Fehr)(PP)

    Richard Panik was the game's third star.

    I expected the Lightning to get routed tonight. That's why I spent most of it watching Peca in the Quinnipiac game. And, it pretty much went to plan until all of a sudden the Lightning decided not to lay down. Whatever Jon Cooper said to them, they had the hearts of lions in the Third Period and to start Overtime. It's a shame one bad defensive play (Matt Carle) got them in the box and they lose on a 4-on-3 situation. Still, you have to like the show of character.

    Alex Killorn was -1 with 4 shots and 1 hit in 20:14.

    Panik went insane with 2 goals, 1 assist, and a +4 rating. 4 shots and 4 hits too in 15:32. He's got this kind of ability, folks. He's a beast when it comes together.

    Radko Gudas had a helper, 1 shot, and 4 hits in 17:14.
