Snarks On Ice: The NHL Roundup For Dec. 22

Maple Leafs 1, Bruins 4
In the penalty box: toss up between pesky first period, during which Toronto allowed one unanswered goal, and pesky third period, during which the Leafs allowed two unanswered goals. Maybe just allowing unanswered goals.

Lightning 2, Rangers 4
In the penalty box: Tampa defenseman Nolan Pratt, for shooting the puck out of play and drawing a penalty that set up Tom Poti’s game-winning power play goal.

Senators 3, Flyers 4
In the penalty box: slow starts. Ottawa allowed three unanswered goals in the first period.

Capitals 6, Thrashers 5, SO
In the penalty box: the under.

Sabres 1, Panthers 4
In the penalty box: Daryl Hall & John Oates, for a litany of atrocities, including their 1983 hit “Maneater.” That same year, the Sabres won 10 road games in a row, a feat they could have matched last night by simply beating Florida.

Wild 3, Avalanche 4
In the penalty box: new NHL rule that awards goals when the puck slides under the side of the net.

Sharks 1, Coyotes 2
In the penalty box: the over.
