Here's your state-of-the-conference update. It looks much the same as last night, but here it is anyway.
Last night, the Hurricanes beat the Devils 4-2. This is why I was rooting for the Blackhawks two nights ago. Not because I hate Brodeur (though I do) - as I said, he was GONNA get that record anyway. I was rooting for the 'Hawks because, had they won, the Devils would have played Brodeur and well last night. Instead, coming off of that big victory the night before, they played Weekes and badly, and let Carolina come at them. Fine. As usual, the Devils piss me off. 2 points for the 'Canes, who remain in 8th with them.
4. Philadelphia, 84 pts, 13 GR
5. Pittsburgh, 84 pts, 10 GR
6. NEW YORK RANGERS, 82 pts, 11 GR
7. Montréal, 81 pts, 12 GR
8. Carolina, 81 pts, 10 GR
-------------------------
9. Florida, 78 pts, 12 GR
10. Buffalo, 76 pts, 12 GR
Tonight, at 7:30, there are two games that matter. Each features a 70-ish-point Eastern team playing an 80-ish-point Eastern team. The Senators play host to the Canadiens, and the Leafs go into Florida. Maybe Ottawa can keep doing us favors. Maybe the Cats can drop one. Maybe not. It would sure be nice. Anyway, those are the games to watch tonight.
