Just without the two leaders of the team from Pittsburgh lost to outsiders, «Vancouver Canucks» losing its leadership, and the team from Dallas comes on the heels envoys.

If no Sidney Crosby (Sidney Crosby) «Penguins" has won periodically, when added to the infirmary Evgeni Malkin, the team did "crumbled." «Pittsburgh Penguins» played away against the last NHL team - «New Jersey Devils».

At the end of the tenth minute through doubled Nick Palmieri (Nick Palmieri), dribbled the defender.





Then the game was very sad. And "Devil" is not increased by only bearable because of the game goalkeeper guests - Brent Johnson (Brent Johnson).



Although, considering that goalkeepers of both teams reflected in the amount of 41 shots - and say nothing, so it was boring.







Proof of boredom
Pretty good game show «Dallas Stars». A team of eight games in 2011 lost only one match, and the one in overtime. However, until the team played with the leaders.

"Sharks" bite "of killer whales»
«Philadelphia Flyers» fully benefited from losses "Orcas" and entrenched in first place in the league. "Pilots" of 9 matches this year, losing only once, "Bruins" in Boston. Then chop the team as much as 12 goals (5: 7). «Ottawa Senators» (it is with them playing "pilots") lost points below the third team. Therefore, the owners had to win. What, in fact, they did (6: 2). The first star of the match was Mike Richards (Mike Richards), 4 points (2 + 2).





Winning in the course of the match 3: 0, the hosts relaxed a bit and conceded two goals.
