- Nets 106 Knicks 101: Some sloppy ball handling doomed New York in the end. Both teams traded baskets in the fourth quarter, with neither team able to take a significant lead. That changed when Larry Hughes coughed it up with about a minute left and the Nets converted to make it a three-point game. The Knicks couldn’t recover and they didn’t threaten again.
Devin Harris had 35 points for New Jersey while Vince Carter added 25. David Lee had another double-double with 19 points and 14 rebounds to lead New York.
- Rangers 4 Boston 3: It was the first game back on the Garden ice for Sean Avery and the MSG debuts of Derek Morris and Nik Antropov. Despite blowing a 3-1 lead, the Rangers made it a success. Avery had an assist and made his presence felt. Antropov had two points and Morris added an assist. Henrik Lundqvist came up huge, stopping 36 shots, including 21 in the third period.
- Islanders 3 Phoenix 2: Yann Danis had another huge game stopping 40 shots and New York used a three-goal second period to get the win.





BRUINS goalie FERNANDEZ played like a high-school netminder - never in the right place at the right time, HE SUCKS!!! BRUINS should sack him and bring in another goalie.
Um, he had a bad game. The tandem of Fernandez and Thomas have been great this year. Going into the playoffs Thomas is their number one, anyway.
But none of that matters as they should just give the Cup to the Rangers right now.
I don't care if the Islanders are in last place, you have to admit they are hot NHL team right now.
Though, I would like it if they stopped winning, so that they can have the #1 pick in the draft come summer.
Loosk like he's about to take a big bite out of the basketball net.
