Last weeks games recaps.

Early tilt between the Islanders and the Oilers.  1-1 after the open ing frame.  Oilers take a 2-1 lead after 2 periods of play.  Islanders back stop Bobby Ide played a huge game here and frustrated the Oilers the entire night.  His buoys rewarded him with the tieing goal at early in the 3rd and Ide closed the door the rest of the way.  Final score 2-2.  Good game with playoff atmosphere. Fletcher and Dupal scoring for the Islanders and Karabinis and Kelly getting the Oilers on the board.  Oilers went 0-1 on the PP and NYI was 0-0.  Players of the Game went to Islanders #14 Billy Jackes and Oilers guy was #10 the Greek Stallion Georgie Karabinis OPA!

Late game looked to be a blow out before it started as the Bruins and the Habs faced off.  Bruins score in the dieting seconds of the 1st frame to take a 3-2 lead.  Bruins end the 2nd period up 5-3 and looked strong to finish this one out but the Habs showed some life as they tie up the match at 5’s with 5  minutes to go.  Bruins finally were awarded with under 3 minutes to go and win this tightly fought match 6-5.  May have been the Habs best game of the season even though they suffered their 5th straight loss.  Maguire getting a hat trick for the Habs, Kidd and Barrett getting the other goals.  Bruins get singles from Thomas, the game winner, Flumerfelt, Peacock, the ageless Julius, Cormier, and Guerra.  Habs scored shorthanded and were 1-1 on the PP, Bruins went 0-2 on the PP.  Players of the game went to Habs #25 Dan Barrett and Bruins #9 Leo Brideau.  Great game.

This week, january 23 we have the Habs facing off against the Flyers at 9:15. Followed by the Oilers meeting the Bruins for another big game at 10:30.  Islanders get the week off.

See you all on the ice!
