A lighter note

Highlights from Puck Daddy's latest What We Learned (which is to say, if it wasn't clear, that all the following funny things were said by Puck Daddy and not by me):

Atlanta Thrashers: Say you're fighting for a playoff spot and have a game against a team you're only four points back of. A good way to help your cause is not to give up an 8-spot to them. I'm just sayin'.

Edmonton Oilers: This just in: Taylor Hall is pretty good. Now with math!

New Jersey Devils: Marty Brodeur on the Devs' Friday loss: 'It's a setback. We were doing well.' Problem is, one more setback and the season might be over. Sucks having to win 10 of 11, but maybe next time don't start out the season 0-184-3 or whatever MacLean did.

New York Rangers: Don't look now, but the Rangers have won four in a row and look fairly comfortable in their playoff position. What do you mean, 'games in hand'?

Philadelphia Flyers: The Flyers became the first team in the East to back into clinch a playoff spot. Playing nothing but garbage teams for the past two weeks has really helped bring their game together.

Pittsburgh Penguins: 'Penguins players approve of a committee to study head hits.' Maybe that group will send a CSI team to scrape Matt Cooke's elbow for samples of Marc Savard's and Ryan McDonagh's brain matter.
