Osgood took an injury in practice, no word yet as to whether or not it was Babcock giving him the Nancy Kerrigan treatment

[Bregor]

I guess my Halloween costume inspired the Caps in Calgary over the weekend. (Disregard the guy who's costume was apparently "taking my shirt off.")

CHI vs NYR throwin 'er down. Only meeting this season. Game should be on NHL network (edit: atdhe is up)

Both teams coming off road wins. Both teams missing a Slovakian star (Hossa and Gaborik) with the same injuries.

Turco V Lundqvist. Can chicago do what toronto could not: score a goal?

He clearly went as Vince Young

Great job by Lundqvist staying with that breakaway

[Thoronas]

Campbell is playing now right?

You look like a cross between Mike Green and Tomas Holmstrom, which would be pretty fucking terrifying as a defenseman (but for the wrong team).

and yes it looks like Campbell is playing, and sometimes I think all hockey announcers/commentators are drunk while on the job.

[Anton]

Shit the way the rangers are playing in their zone (plus Lundqvist shitting down sharp on that breakaway, how epic was that) they might not score at all

Does NHLN have the MSG feed or the Comcast Chicago one? If you were to tell me Pat Foley had a few snifters of scotch before games I would not doubt you in the slightest, it's what makes him so great.

And yeah, Campbell's in and looks really solid, they made Boynton the healthy scratch tonight, not sure why Hendry got a nod over him, maybe Boynton needed a night off after getting over-skated for the first month of the season.

[Callisto]

ugh Kopecky trying to over-think it, throw that shit at the 5-hole

[Anton]

NHLN carrying the Comcast Chicago feed I believe

Edit: Oh shit! Kopecky deflecting pucks jedi-style opens this up 1-0!

[Callisto]

Glad they got that, I gotta say the Rangers' defensive positioning is really fucking good on the PK, there was nowhere to shoot at for the first 90 seconds of it.

[Ishido]

Kopecky: don't try to shoot, you will score more by having shots bounced off of you. (Seriously that huge delay on what should have been a 1 timer goal was pretty bad).

[Callisto]

Scott looks suspiciously like he's been learning how to play hockey, not sure where it's coming from.

[Callisto]

Kopecky: don't try to shoot, you will score more by having shots bounced off of you. (Seriously that huge delay on what should have been a 1 timer goal was pretty bad).

Yeah, I understand trying to pick your spot, but Lundqvist stood straight up and opened his 5-hole wide, when you're two feet away that's an easy one to shove in.

[Callisto]

Well balls, so much for taking momentum into the 2nd period.

[Anton]

1-1 with :20 left.

This is the best part about the one-of inter-conference matches. Nobody has any idea how shit will go down.

[Ishido]

Blackhawks really seem live they've been taking notes from the Wings. Screen the goalie for a redirect goal, check. Let in a momentum killing last-minute goal, check.
