Steven Stamkos with his 30th goal of the season. That makes two players out of the four players picked in the Dustin Penner bet...Stamkos and Little that have now scored 30 goals in a season at a younger age than Penner. Just Schremp and Latendresse to go for the clean sweep.

I really hate Stamkos. I don't have a good reason or anything, but I hate the dude. Probably just because he's probably taking away from Vinny's points this year (which is Vinny's own fault). Every goal he scores is like nails on a chalkboard.

Gothic, Steelheads and Mustangs all win last night. The Mustangs are quickly running out of games. They are 9 points out of the third and final playoff spot with only 6 games left.

The Gothic beat up on the Mustangs last night by a score of 5 to -2.5.

The loss eliminated the Mustangs from the playoffs.

The Gothic have made the playoffs!!!!!!!!!

The Gothic finished the regular season with 48 points in the last 30 games. This team is coming together nicely.

The first playoff game in team history goes tonight as the Canadian Gothic take on The Underdogs. The Gothic won the season series against their divisional rival but this series could go either way as both teams seem evenly matched.

I was behind 2 games to none and then 3 games to one, but I have battled back and tied everything up. I'm ok with my game 7 lineup...here it is...

Stamkos
Stastny
J. Jokinen
Latendresse
Fedotenko
Little

Lidstrom
Cumiskey
Stralman
Hunwick

Philadelphia Flyers

nice comeback Dale.

I believe (hope for your sake) these 3 are about to justify your acquisitions of earlier this year.

Even though I have your draft pick, I'm rooting for you to prove that the Magically Delicious can help you win a title.

Gothic players who have changed teams...

Zbynek Michalek - moves from Phoenix Coyotes to Pittsburgh Penguins
Dustin Boyd - moves from Nashville Predators to Montreal Canadiens
Andrew Ebbett - moves from Minnesota Wild to Phoenix Coyotes
Matthew Lombardi - moves from Phoenix Coyotes to Nashville Predators

Gothic farmhand Igor Makarov signed an entry level contract with the Blackhawks. With Chicago looking for bargain-priced production, hopefully he can make the best of his opportunity.

Great news regarding Gothic farmhand Brendan Smith.

from what I have seen from Janik and Kindl, I think he has a good chance to get a spot.
