That last post was unreasonably long. This one contains a few small notes:
1) Tortorella's response to the ridiculous officiating last night was to tell everyone, twice, not to ask him about the officiating. He went on to talk about how proud he was of the team for coming together and battling back last night.
2) Lundqvist apparently admits that he threw his stick near the end of the game to express to the officials just how bad he thought they were. He expected the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that he got from it. Is it OK if that makes me like him more?
3) Check this out. It's 3-1, Sharks over Kings. The Kings score, but the goal judge doesn't call it, the puck bounces out, and the play continues. They will review it at the next stoppage. Before play stops, the Sharks (maybe) score, but the puck bounces out, and play continues. They will review that, if necessary, at the next stoppage. The next stoppage comes...because the Sharks score! This one stays in the net and play stops. 4-1 Sharks. Only they go back and review, and the first Kings goal counted. So...3-2 Sharks. Awesome.
4) KOVALWATCH! It's November 16. The 5-11-2 Devils are not currently a league worst, having pulled a point ahead of both the Oilers and the Islanders, though they've also played more games than either of those teams. However, none of those 5 wins have come at the Rock, making the Devils the only NHL team to somehow still not have won at home yet this season! Alternate Captain Kovalchuk ($100m/15yr) has 4 goals and 5 assists in that time, putting him exactly on par with Erik Cole ($5.8m/2yr), Mark Letestu ($1m/2yr), Valtteri Filppula ($15m/5yr), and Nikolai Kulemin ($4.7m/2yr). The Devils have three more chances to win at home this month, versus the Capitals, the Flames, and the Flyers. So, let's go those three guys!
