In sports ... Sens 5, Islanders 2

Had a chance to take in the game in person last night, a rarity for me given my current low-income status (job hunting sucks!).

Chris Niel scored his 100th career point and the Sens scored the fastest three goals in team history (176 seconds early in the third). After calling nothing all night, the officials decided to call 2 quick penalties on the Sens shortly after the goal streak put them up 5-0. A belated attempt to keep the game close? It has been my observation, although this is purely anecdotal, that the team leading late in a game is more likely to be penalized. Nothing like a waved-off 6th goal and an ensuing 5-3 power play to leave a bad taste in my mouth. Anyway, worth the trip, even with the stadium located waaaaayyyy out in the west end. The atmosphere in Scotiabank place is always great and makes me wish I could afford tickets more often. Count me in for season tickets to whichever is the top level hockey team in town when I find a permanent job.
