		Blackhawks lost to Colorado 2-1 last night.  Really good game though.  I don't remember their Goalies name, but he had a great game for them.

YES IT WAS A GOOD GAME . SLOW FIRST PERIOD, BUT PICKED UP AFTER THAT. 

I SAW 2 FIGHTS. I WASN'T CLOSE TO THE ONE YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, BUT WE SAW EVERYONE STANDING UP ALD POINTING IN THAT DIRECTION FOR A WHILE, EVEN AS THE GAME WAS GOING ON.

SAW LOST OF "FRIENDLY" INTIMIDATION, MOSTLY IN GOOD HUMOR.

THERE WASN'T ANY ONE LARGE GROUP, BUT THERE HAD TO BE 500 OR MORE CANADIEN JERSEYS IN THE CROWD. I ASKED ONE GUY WHERE HE WAS FROM AND HE SAID SWEEDEN. THEY WERE PROBABLY NEW YORKERS WHO ARE MONTREAL FANS.

I NEED TO GO AGAIN. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A LIVE HOCKEY GAME. HOPEFULLY TO THE ISLANDERS NEXT TIME.

		MONTREAL DEFEATS NEW YORK AT MADISON SQUARE 6-3 ...ROBERT LANG WITH THE HAT TRICK!  ....SO SCORP,HOW MANY FIGHTS IN THE CROWD DID YOU SEE?... AROUND THE MIDDLE OF THE THIRD PERIOD ONE OF THE ANNOUNCERS FOR TSN WHO WAS LOCATED AT ICE LEVEL (BALD HEADED GUY WITH GLASSES) SAID A SCUFFLE BROKE OUT AND HE WAS WORRIED ABOUT THE GIRL THAT WAS CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE...DID YOU SEE THIS?

I CAN TAKE THE VERBAL ABUSE. HEY, WE HAVE 4 CUPS IN THE PAST 28 YEARS, THEY HAVE ONE IN THE PAST 70. I CAN EVEN TAKE A LITTLE PUSH OR SHOVE. I JUST DON'T WANT SOME ONE TO SQUIRT  MUSTARD OR THROW A DRINK ON THE JACKET. 

ALTHOUGH THE RANGER FANS ARE VERY LOYAL, THERE ARE A LOT OG MONTREAL, BOSTON, PITTSBURGH, PHILA FANS THAT GO TO THE GARDEN.
