2011/2012 NHL Season

[Jim05]

I really wish the Caps would just lose. I might just have to wait until the playoffs...

Let the Caps win all they want in the regular season, because we all know what happens in the playoffs every year. A BIG CHOKE

Gee thanks for bringing that up, after all these years of pain i think we deserve to have some success.
Still a long season ahead, i would expect us to make playoffs but as you stated, all the season wins count for nothing if we crash out of playoffs

[Jim05]

Th big battle between the Wings and Caps turned into a fizzer with the Caps routing them 7-1.
The Caps now are the only undefeated side, hopefully we are not peaking too early because our form is awesome at the moment

[Brucetiki]

Pittsburgh make it 3 wins in a row with a 4-1 win over New Jersey. Jordan Staal scoring his 100th career goal.

Now for back-to-back matches against the New York Islanders.

[Jim05]

Only early in season but Columbus Blue Jackets are the only team remaining without a victory and 4 of the bottom 6 sides in the league are Canadian

[Brucetiki]

Amazingly Pittsburgh and the New York Islanders got through the first period without conceeding a penalty

EDIT: Normal service resuming, Matt Cooke copping an unsportmanslike penalty for diving

[Brucetiki]

No goons, no Islanders as Pittsburgh have their first shut out for the season with a 3-0 win over the New York Islanders.

[Jim05]

Columbus record their first win of the season by smacking the Wings 4-1

[Brucetiki]

Have the goalies gone on strike in Philadelphia

3 minutes into the 3rd and Philadelphia are leading Winnipeg 7-6!

Jets led 5-1 early in second period.
Jets currently lead 8-7 about 8 minutes remaining

[Brucetiki]

Make that a 9-8 win to Winnipeg

And Pittsburgh have just defeated the New York Islanders 3-2 in a shootout

[Jim05]

Thought the Flyers would be around the mark this season but their defense is woeful. They have been flogged a couple of times already.
The Bruins ordinary start to the season has continued with a loss at home to the Habs.
Caps v Oilers just about to start. We have had a 6 day break so ive been waiting all week!

[Jim05]

Caps drop their first game of the season going down to the Oilers.

[Brucetiki]

Pittsburgh drop their game against Toronto 3-4

[Jim05]

Caps go down 4-7 to Canucks.
Dropped 2 games in Canada so will be good to get home and play the Ducks on Tuesday

[Jim05]

Caps defeat Ducks 5-4 in OT.
Trailed 0-3 in 2nd and 2-4 with 8 minutes remaining. Backstrom tied it up with 40 seconds remaining and then scored the winner in OT

[Brucetiki]

Dan Bylsma continues his winless coaching streak against San Jose as Pittsburgh blow a 3-1 lead to lose 3-4 in a shootout.

Was following it on the net. The Pens had scored twice before the Sharks touched the puck. 2 in the first 2 minutes wasnt it? First goal was about 20 seconds after start

[mighty hounds]

Blackhawks in some fine form

[Jim05]

Caps caned the Canes 5-1 after trailing 1-0 at end of first period

Yeah - with the 5 day break and a busy week I'd forgotten about the game until about 12:00ish, then realised it hadn't even started yet. Was an amazing start, but alas they still lost.
