Snarks On Ice: The NHL Roundup

Flyers 4, Hurricanes 3, OT
In the penalty box: size disadvantages. Carolina coach Peter Laviolette said about Philadelphia following the game, “That’s a big team. They’ve got some big players.”

Sabres 3, Maple Leafs 4, SO
In the penalty box: mathletes. According to Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff, “The math has been really good for us until tonight.”

Devils 2, Penguins 6
In the penalty box: St. Louis Blues fans, who only got one day to enjoy the fact that their team was no longer the worst in the league.

Blues 0, Stars 3
In the penalty box: St. Louis coach Mike Kitchen (Blues fans hope). The last time there was a shutout in a Blues game, Eddie Olczyk lost his post in Pittsburgh.

Kings 5, Coyotes 6, OT
In the penalty box: Los Angeles’ special teams, which allowed Phoenix to go 3-for-6 on power plays and gave up the game winner on a shorthanded goal.

Wild 2, Flames 4
In the penalty box: third period letdowns, such as the one last night suffered by Minnesota that allowed Calgary to score late two unanswered goals.

oddJoe’s hockey picks
The Predators roll into Edmonton tonight looking to end a five-game road trip with a win, while the Oilers are looking to get back on track after dropping a pair a home games to Minnesota. The last time these two teams met in Nashville, the Preds scored three goals in the final period for a 3-2 win, and given Edmonton’s post-holiday slump I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened again. Best line: Nashville +112 at Bodog.
