Ironic that yesterday I was talking about the impact of Marleau and he ended up playing and having a PP assist. Of course, he was still -1 for the night but there may be a link to his presence and the PP team's effectiveness. I like this play , I think this is the game they targeted for a W when they threw the rook out there last night. San Jose is a good road team playing a banged up Philly squad that is in a tailspin. SJ a pretty solid 7-4 on b2b and 4-2 after L.

For what it's worth on Conklin:

Some telling stats for a goalie, especially a backup thrown into the spotlight. The AS Break stat leads me to believe he was probably playing over his head for awhile and is coming back down to earth. The home/away is pretty self-explanatory, but telling nonetheless. Montreal is playing well lately, but what I wonder is if the comeback win against NYR will leave them spent or hungry for more? From a statistical standpoint Montreal looks solid, especially given the injuries that Pitt is dealing with and the 2 of 3 they have already taken from Pitt this year.

Great info Herm. I agree Conklin was playing over his head, hes been streaky like that in the past as well. But I could see Therrien starting Sabourin, and you know you cant ever underestimate the possibility of a french canadian goalie (backup or whatnot) to come into Montreal and steal the game. Its happened so many times before.

Well I just read something interesting in some BlueJackets blog by the reporter that follows them around. Hitchcock has let the team practice alone in Ottawa without any coaches on the ice, a tactic that has been succesful for Hitchcock in the past. And so with that and the trend I mentioned up above.

Well in keeping track of teams that are in the 4+r-1h-1r situation. Columbus is in it right now...The road team before coming home into that crux home game...Oddly enough, the before last road game -the road team is 10-2 and the last road game -the road team is 8-4.
