]]> I was on NHL.com and I spotted the video for the best plays from last week.  I don’t want to sound like a broken record but things have really been intense with the playoffs starting next week and people are just putting in the extra effort.  The goaltenders, in particular, are just pulling out all the stops and standing on their heads.  It is really amazing and makes me love this sport that much more.

Watch these incredible plays.  My favorite highlight was from the St. Louis Blues @ Chicago Blackhawks game when Toews (CHI) tries to score, Mason (STL) makes the save, Tkachuk (STL) takes the puck and skates to the other net and is rejected by Khabibulin (CHI).

]]> There were some great plays this past week across the NHL but there were a couple goals that stood out for me – Evgeni Malkin (Pittsburgh) scoring on the Florida Panthers with his back turned to the net, Jamie Lundmark (Calgary) wrapping around the net to surprise Ty Conklin (Detroit) with 1:20 left in the game and then Olli Jokinen securing the 6-5 victory in a shootout after making a major comeback.  Jokinen also scored an amazing breakaway goal for the Flames (who lost) against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

There were great saves too – Steve Mason (Columbus) denies the Boston Bruins, Cam Ward shuts the door on the Washington Capitals, Tomas Vokoun narrowly stops the Buffalo Sabres (it looks like his glove was just on the line) and Marc-André Fleury shocks RJ Umburger (and the crowd) who was celebrating a goal that never was. 

Watch the highlights:
