Fox Sports is running an article on Paul Coffey is retiring, and they retired his original Number (#7). Paul Coffey played for the Penguins I think when he played for the Penguins his number was 77. I remember being at the game where he got his 1000th point in the NHL. He was my favorite player.

What a game. Sadly I was wrong (When I said I think the Pens would win by 1 point) the Pens lost 5-6. But there was this goal that was just unbelievable, face off at center ice, Talbot won a face off (score was 4-5) he fired the puck to the other side of the ice, the Flyers goalie was not paying attention and the puck went in to the goal, tied the game at 5-5. Near the game, the Flyers fired a shot that should had been a goal but our goalie (Caron) made an incredible save, it was not the main shot, the main shot bounced of the right goal post, but a Flyer made a second shot that Caron saved just before it went over the line. Even the gaol judge thought it was a goal, it had to be reviewed. The Pens did not win, but it still was a great game.

I have a friend that has never seen a game, and this was the first game he ever saw, so it was a good game for him to see. Also I had my pastor over and he though it was a good game.

Igloo Dreams is running an article on how he thinks the Pens will win tonight. I will have to agree with him, the Pens have not won yet but they have fought hard so far, this could give them the one win to break their losing streak they are on. I hope Mario does not play tonight, that will help out allot. I will be having friends over tonight to watch the game. I still think the Pens will win by only 1 point tonight, and it will be a hard fought battle for the win.

This game was a great game, the Coyotes were losing during the 3rd period, then on a 5 on 3 power play the make a goal that ties up the game. At the end of OT it was still tied at 4-4. It was a great game to watch, allot of good hockey being played on the ice, one of the few high scoring games that was still a good game. A lot of checking, and a few fights, most of them were just a small shove after the play was over, but there was about two fight during the game, that the refs had to break up.
After OT I turned the game off, because I still reject the shoot out, it has no place in hockey.

Tomorrow the Penguins are playing the Fliers. As I look at the stats at this time, I am thinking it might be a close game. But (maybe this is just wishfully thinking) I am going to go with Pittsburgh with the win, but they will only win by 1 point. I am wondering what my other friends that might like hockey think will happen with tomorrows game. This should break the Pens lossing streak if I am right.
