  • Islanders 5, Flames 4 (SO): Mike Sillinger scored two goals in regulation and then added the winner in the shootout. That's after he failed in the Pacific Northwest against the Canucks on Wednesday.
    • Devils 2, Sabres 1 (SO): Aggressive play cost the Devils the win in regulation, but Martin Brodeur, Brian Gionta and Patrik Elias too center stage in the shootout to allow the Devils to continue their home dominance. They have picked up 21 of 22 points at their new Prudential Center in the last 11 games. Things didn't look so rosy when Jason Pominville tied the game with 1:47 to go, but the Devils bounced back. They held out during Buffalo's dominance of the extra session to make use of Brodeur in the shootout.
    • Lightning 5, Rangers 3: Spotting the Lightning a three-goal lead didn't seem to be a good move. After Jaromir Jagr opened the scoring, Tampa Bay struck for four straight, and the Rangers couldn't recover.
    • Canucks 3, Islanders 2 (SO): The Islanders can't be happy they traveled all the way to the Pacific Northwest only to see that second point disappear after a goal between the legs of Rick DiPietro. But he can't be blamed for this loss. His 43 saves were the only reason the Islanders made it to the extra session and the shootout.

    Mark Messier will forever be remembered for delivering the Stanley Cup to the Rangers in 1994, his famous guarantee before Game Six of the Eastern Conference Finals that year and a tendency to cry in public. The captain had his number retired by both Edmonton and New York and is the only player ever to captain two teams to a Stanley Cup victory and he was second all-time in points scored in NHL history.

    Pitchfork-approved blog darlings Tokyo Police Club have spent the last year and change transitioning from flavor of the month boy band to reputable musicians with an enviable knack for short, hook-happy hits. On Thursday night these clever Canucks will have the chance to further extend their fan base when they perform at the “Woodie” Awards; they’re nominated for a “Breaking Woodie”. Broadcast on the 24-hour college network mtvU, the award show will feature performances by...

  • Already missing the NBA? If so, NBA Nation will be at the South Street Seaport this weekend. There will be an 18-wheeler where you can watch the NBA's 50 Greatest Plays and a NBA Skills Challenge Competition. David Lee is supposed to appear and so was Channing Frye, but he's no longer with the team.
  • One of the initial promises of the internet was the idea of access to an entire world's worth of ideas and people. There is something online for pretty much every interest and fetish you can think of, and quite a few you can't, and it's all there for you to enjoy. Problem was, you still needed to know where to look to find the good stuff. It can be very easy to get trapped into a "world wide" web that actually only encompasses a handful of sites (which is fine, we guess, as long as it includes Gothamist...). But let's be honest, rote web surfing with no serendipity kinda sucks pretty quickly. Search engines, social bookmark sites and blog linkrolls offer bajillions of places that you could go and explore, but it never quite works like that, does it?

    Watch some Triumph clips for yourself.

    Conan O'Brien was also interested in filming the show in Toronto, because it's the home of Canadian comedy, especially SCTV. Gothamist wants to know, when is SCTV coming to DVD? If Toronto wants to help its tourism, they should sell SCTV DVDs only in Toronto – tons of people would make the trip.
