Nobody guessed that Chris Kelly would win the game in a dominating performance for the Sens over the Pens, and that Troy Brouwer would score in overtime to lift the Hawks over the Sharks in a clash between the two top teams in the west. Carry over!
For today’s games let’s go with Toronto/New Jersey and Nashville/Detroit. 120 butters on the line. Good luck!

16 people chose Eriksson, who won the Calgary/Dallas game in the shootout, and 5 people chose Ehrhoff, who scored a lucky goal on the power play in the third period to put Vancouver ahead of St. Louis for good, but nobody chose them both. Carry over!
For today’s games it would be hard to find more exciting matchups than Ottawa/Pittsburgh and Chicago/San Jose. Pick both game-winning goal scorers and 110 butters are yours.

Not just one winner, not two, but THREE separate winners from last night’s games! Robert Williams, Zakary Duench, and Scott Moisander each correctly guessed that Ryan Smyth and Alexei Kovalev would score the game winning goals. You guys get to split the 260 butters; post a message on the wall of the Facebook page so that I can hook you up.
How about those Sens, huh? What is it, seven in a row? They look like a lock for the playoffs. Kovalev has over-under-achieved this year.
Tonight’s games, for 100 delicious butters: Flames/Stars and Blues/Canucks. Good luck!
Souray Sweepstakes

I watched the Blackhawks play the Oilers tonight. The second period featured an 18 minute power-play for Chicago – or that’s what it felt like I was watching. The Oilers and Edmonton fans have had everything go wrong for them this season, and it looked to me like, to a man, they’ve given up. I don’t blame them.
Everybody has an opinion. Horcoff’s a convenient lightning rod. 5.5 million dollars a year for a player who’s plus-minus is colder than Edmonton winter temperatures?
But Sheldon Souray has also had a lacklustre year. Despite that, and his 5+ million dollar cap hit, there are several clubs out there who should be interested in his services. He has agreed to waive his no-trade clause for a select group of teams. Speculation is that he would want to be close to his Los Angeles-based kids, and certainly he would want to play on a playoff-bound team.
The LA Kings are obvious candidates. Colorado has a great young team. San Jose is a perennial contender. Anaheim has several big holes to fill on defence. Vancouver has injury problems on defence. Where do you think he’ll end up?

I’m not even gonna check. Who would be crazy enough to pick Brad Lukowich to win the game for the Canucks? Have you seen the through-the-legs pass that Daniel gave him? Unbelievable. Draws both defenders over to the left side of the ice, then somehow senses that fill-in defenceman Lukowich is streaking to the front of the net. Here’s a video:
In the other featured game, St. Louis continued Calgary’s blues. Patrik Berglund with the game winner and Ty Conklin pitched a shutout. When will Calgary rebound? Gotta be soon or else the Saddledome will be empty in April.
So yesterday nobody won the contest. Carry over! Today, for a chance at 260 delicious butters, pick the game winning goal scorers for these two Tuesday games: Los Angeles / Toronto and New Jersey / Ottawa. I’ll go with Marcel Dionne and Kirk Muller!

Not a single person guessed that Brett Clark would score the game winning goal for Colorado in their 4-0 rout last night of Dallas. Carry over!
Colorado, built on the base of super-steady goaltending from Craig Anderson, has been a real story this year. Even as late as December I heard some analysts predicting they’d drop out of contention. But what are they at now, six wins in a row, and tied at the top of the Northwest division? Looks like they’re playoff bound.
In the other game Carolina put the boots to Boston. Eric Staal scored the winner – a rare correct guess by yours truly! Will Carolina finally turn it around and string together some wins? At this point, does that even help them? Surely they’re too far back to make a playoff push.
For 250 delicious butters, who will score the game winning goals in tonight’s Blues/Flames and Sabres/Canucks contests? I’ll go with Lanny McDonald and Pat Lafontaine.

So close. More than 400 guesses, and one person guessed Joe Pavelski and DANIEL Sedin, but nobody guessed Pavelski and HENRIK Sedin. Carry over!
For 240 delicious butters, predict who is going to score the game winning goal in today’s Boston/Carolina and Dallas/Colorado contests.
I think I’ll pick Staal for Carolina. I still can’t figure out why they’re at the bottom of the league – it feels like it has got to turn around for them sometime soon. For the other game I’ll pick Duchene. What a year the rookie is having!

Nobody picked the correct Mathieu Darche / James Neal combination yesterday. 26 people picked Neal, but nobody picked Darche at all. Carry over!
Today’s games, worth 230 delicious butters: Buffalo / San Jose and Chicago / Vancouver. I’m going to go with Heatley and Burrows!
