Happy Thanksgiving Good Lookin Hockey Fans! Yes it is true, here in Canada it is a long weekend and the NHL didn't disappoint. Yesterday EVERY single team in the league played. Three games were shutouts, three ended in a shootout, and one ended in overtime.
Here are the final scores for all games played yesterday:
The Washington Capitals shutout the Boston Bruins 4-0
The Pittsburgh Penguins beat Toronto Maple Leafs 5-2
The Detroit Red Wings beat the Anaheim Ducks 3-2
The Ottawa Senators beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2 in the shootout
The New Jersey Devils beat the Florida Panthers with a whopping 5-1 final. This game put former Vancouver Canucks tandem goalie team Cory Schneider and Roberto Luongo against each other. Cory is netminder for the Devils while Lou now mans the pipes in Florida
The Calgary Flames lost to the St. Louis Blues 4-1
The Columbus Blus Jackets beat the New York Rangers 5-2
The Philadelphia Flyers lost to the Montreal Canadiens 4-3 in the shootout
The New York Islanders beat the Carolina Hurricane 4-3
The Nashville Predators beat the Dallas Stars 4-1
The Chicago Blackhawks beat the Buffalo Sabres 6-2. It was a 2-2 game at the end of the 2nd period and the Blackhawks went on to score 4 goals in the 3rd. It was their veterans lighting up the score board. Patrick Kane, Patrick Sharp and Marian Hossa all scored in the 3rd
The Arizona Coyotes beat the Los Angeles Kings 3-2 in overtime
The Minnesota Wild shut the door on the Colorado Avalanche 3-0
The Vancouver Canucks beat the Edmonton Oilers 5-4 in the shootout thanks to Chris Higgins and Ryan Miller
And finally the San Jose Sharks beat the Winnipeg Jets 3-0
Below I have uploaded two videos. The 1st is Radim Vrbabta's goal last night. Vrbata now has two goals in two games. Fans here in British Columbia are starting to call him the "3rd twin" or "Radim Vrbata-Sedin" Only two other players in Canuck history have been able to play so effectively with the twins. The 1st being Anson Carter and the 2nd is Alex Burrows.
The next is a video of Ottawa Senator, David Legwand. A little fun fact: Legwand was the 1st player ever drafted by the Nashville Predators back in 1998. He played his entire career with the club until last year when he had a brief stint with the Detroit Red Wings and then signed with the Senators this past summer. As luck would have it Ottawa's 1st game of the season was against the Preds in Nashville. Legwand had a penalty called on him and went to the penalty box. After playing 956 games with the Preds (1/2 of those being in that arena) he accidentally skated into the wrong penalty box! It was a quick fix when he realized and went to the visiting team's box instead.
Until next time hockey fans! Everyone in Canada enjoy your turkey and everyone else, enjoy your Sunday!
