HAWKS   3     SHARKS   1

Shifty center Brian Moore scores on consecutive first period shifts to lead the Hawks to the W!  Mike Garlick buries a power play insurance goal.  Affable goalie Gordy Nadolsky put on a goaltending clinic!  Mark Micolo with the lone Shark goal.

BRUINS   4    FLYERS   2

The surging Bruins play a great game and upend the Flyers behind the two goal effort of Captain Rob Rowling.  Jeff Steiber and sub Mike “King of the Road” Miller also score.  Goaler Kris “King” Arthur with several highlight reel saves!  Steve Lemieux and Mike “Claude” Akins with the Flyers markers.

WINGS   6    HABS   5

A run and gun affair, as Ian Axworthy converts his second goal of the game with Habs player Marty Papesh watching intently in the penalty box with 25 seconds left in the contest!  Young sub Micolo also with a two goal game for the Wings.  Singles for Danny Rea and sub Tyler Tenecyk.  Paul Violassi with a big four assist game.  Habs – Paul “Stork” Erikson(2), Paul Elsey Jr., Jamie Smith and Steve Bayagich.

FLYERS   4    HAWKS   2

Both squads split on the day, as Flyers goalie Billy Papciak stands on his proverbial head!  Deuces wild for Mike Nalepa and sub Chris Ballach of the Flyers.  Brian Moore and Waz Sarweh with the Hawks markers.

SHARKS   7    HABS   4

Red flags all over the beach this game, as the Sharks have a feeding frenzy!  Deuces wild for Anthony Amato, Ward Peterson and sub young Bayagich.  Fellow sub Fleschner also scored.  Captain Mark Micolo with a four helper game.  Paul Elsey Jr. goes twine twice for the Habs.  Singles for Joey Reiss and Jim Roble as the Habs drop a deuce today.

BRUINS   3    WINGS   2

The Bruins win their seventh consecutive game, as they are now only a single point behind the first place Hawks in the standings!  As in game one – Rob Rowling, Jeff Steiber and sub Mike Miller put the puck in the net for the Bruins.  One again – puck stopper Kris Arthur shined in nets!  Wings sub B. Pyc with both of their goals as they split on the day.

Which active NHL coach has the most regular season wins?
