Scores From Near and Far, From Here and There

Vol. I, No. 69

The Habs are back from the dead.  They outplayed the Flyers on home ice and turned the tables.  Leighton 5, Halak 1.  Could this be the time that Michael Leighton unravels?  Will "Stonewall Halak" play again on Saturday, or will "Jaro the Holy" show up instead?

Philly proved one thing tonight. They know how to fight at the end of a losing game.  Will it make a difference in Game Four? Doubtful.

Out west, in the CHL Memorial Cup tournament, there was no game today since the final pairings had already been decided.  The QMJHL champion Moncton Wildcats have been eliminated.

Tomorrow, the Brandon Wheat Kings face the Calgary Hitmen in the semi-final game. Game time is 8pm EDT. The winner of that game will face the Windsor Spitfires on Sunday May 23rd. Game time is 7pm EDT.

Much further to the east, the IIHF World Championships in Germany had two games.  Canada was whipped by the Russian team.  The boys from east of the Urals beat the CanadiAns 5-2.

Meanwhile, the Germans eked out a victory over Switzerland with a 1-0 shutout. That means Germany is headed to the semi-finals for the first time since 1992.

Hockey Rules, Globally!
