The Montreal Canadiens, who outplayed the Buffalo Sabres for 57 minutes on Wednesday night, managed to salvage a point and take sole possession of sixth place in the Eastern Conference, but it was at great expense. As one of the hottest teams since the Olympic break, Montreal really folded up last night. After taking a 2-0 lead, thanks to a pair from Andrei Kostitsyn, Buffalo’s late pressure resulted in the equalizing goals coming with 1:59 and then :48 left in the game. They went on to win in a shootout.

Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, NHL, Playoffs,
Almost everything is coming up Ottawa. The Senators have re-opened a four point lead in the Eastern Conference over Philadelphia and Montreal, thanks largely to a pair of shutouts against those two opponents. Brian Elliott was called to duty and shut the door twice; first in a 2-0 win against the Canadiens then another 2-0 blanking of the Flyers in back-to-back nights. The pair was his fourth and fifth shutouts of the season. He now has 25 wins total.

Pedroia good to go after wrist scare
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, Injuries, MLB,
The Boston Red Sox avoided a huge scare on Wednesday when they announced that All-Star second baseman Dustin Pedroia’s x-rays revealed no long term damage and he will be fine. Pedroia sprained his left wrist on Tuesday in a game against the Twins when he dove for a ground ball off the bat of Denard Span. Pedroia had x-rays on Wednesday morning and is already asking coach Terry Francona to get him back in the lineup for Thursday’s game against Florida.

Marcum tasked with replacing Halladay
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, Editorial, MLB,
It was the audition that was Shaun Marcum’s to lose. Toronto’s new No. 1 pitcher is far from an ace, but to ask him to fill the shoes vacated by former Jays star Roy Halladay is asking far too much. Marcum came into training camp expected to be at the top of Toronto’s rotation, and so far he’s not disappointed the masses with his solid outings, and has been rewarded with the first Opening Day assignment of his career.

O’Sullivan leads league with worst plus-minus
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, Editorial, NHL,
Patrick O’Sullivan of the Edmonton Oilers is looking a bit rough these days. In his first full season in orange and blue, he’s been little more than a burden to the NHL’s last place team. While Edmonton as a team share a number of “worsts,” O’Sullivan too finds himself at the bottom of a category that he’d rather not be able to boast about. At minus-32, he is ranked 849th in the league in plus-minus…out of 849.

O’Reilly’s fists didn’t do all the talking
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, Editorial, NHL,
Now that we’ve more or less recovered from the green beer and shenanigans of St. Patrick’s Day, it’s time to take a look at some other important parts of Irish history: infractions and Boston. Former NHL winger Terry O’Reilly was famous for both. The ex-Bruin made a name for himself in Beantown thanks largely to his scoring touch, but more significantly for his staggeringly large number of penalty minutes. O’Reilly tallied 2,095 in his 14-year career.

After six straight wins, the Montreal Canadiens felt the bitter taste of defeat at the hands of the lowly Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night.
