Predictions and Snydes

Ok,


Last night featured three-out-of-four games going to overtime and/or a shootout.

I went 2-2 yesterday with Anaheim and Carolina choking in overtime.

Colorado looked very impressive last night. Anaheim still doesn't look like a team defending the Stanley Cup, and Ottawa looked poised to make another long run in the Spring.

Tonight's match ups (My Picks):

Fla @ NYR - (NYR)
Tor @ Ott - (Ott)
NJ @ TB - (TB)
Col @ Nsh - (Col)
Chi @ Min - (Min)
SJ @ Edm - (SJ)
Stl @ Pho - (Stl)
Phi @ Cal - (Cal)

Now, to a serious note:

Yesterday, Dany Heatley signed a long-term deal with Ottawa. Last night, Heatley scored two goals, including the game-winner, and added an assist in Ottawa's win. Tomorrow, marks the four-year anniversary of Dan Snyder's passing.

Snyder was Heatley's passenger when he lost control of his car on a trecherous Atlanta road ejecting both young men from the vehicle.

Heatley suffered an imploded knee and broken jaw while Snyder was knocked unconscious, never to awake again.

Five days after the Sept. 29, 2003 wreck, Dan passed away due to an infection stemming from surgery.

While Heatley is being lauded for his effort in last night's game, let's not forget # 37, Dan Snyder when we sing #15, Dany Heatley's, praise.

I don't understand why you keep picking the Leafs to lose?

Are you a Montreal fan?

Sure, the Senators beat us at home, but we're going to take it to them at Scotiabank.

And your comment about 1967? Not cool.

Just watch, Sundin will have 2 goals and Steen and Stajan will have a goal and assist each!
