3-day Weekend Wrap Up OR Is Winter over? What the hell is up with this weather

Friday night Ovechkin had 5 points (a goal and 2 assists), Sunday Ovechkin had only 2 points (a goal and assist), but his goal was on a penalty shot, which is always cool and what Ovy has sometimes sucked at.



Rick Dipietro is back for the Islanders. He won Saturday and shut the Devils out on Monday. Thats the first time the Devils have been shut-out all season. Of the 6 goals the Isles scored this weekend. This was my favorite:




Speaking of slap-passes, Daniel Alfredsson had a hat-trick against the Bruins.Here's, obviously, my favorite:



Ok, its a slap-pass at all, just a great look from Kuba and tip by Alfie.

If you watched NBC's first non-winter-classic game of the season, you know they still have some kinks to work out:



What the hell?

but, if you stuck around you also got to see this sweetness in the shoot-out:



and there was also a pretty good fight:




What did I miss?

Has Anyone Else Noticed This?

At the 0:06 mark DP scores a goal and loses his mind.

So good of him to give up his time and actually show a pulse while giving back. To many athletes mail in community appearances. Not DP. He's 1000% in this clip.

Is our Twitter thingie working on the side? Anyone know how to get that going? The2Man office tech guy took the day off to play shinny and watch 30/30.

Can someone please tell me what is happening with the Islanders. Is Dipietro not playing anymore in the league. Is he seriously anticipated to miss an entire season again? Is that for real that they are hedging with Biron and Roloson. Why do we need both? They are both middle of the pack decent goaltenders...they won't be decent on the Isles as the Isles will contnue to struggle for another few years until the rebuilding is done but why would they need both? Is Biron really going to possibly play THAT much better than Rolly or vice-versa? Really? Cmon now...there is something seriously messed up going on over there. We needed two more Serious forwards this year like a Tanguay and a Gaborik. Roloson..yea ah ok we could use him because of the insecurity of DP but Biron too. I just don't understand. I'm confused and a little frustrated now.

Well the 2man is meeting with friend/former producer of ours in a way with the Islanders out in Long Island later to discuss the future. I'm sure the goalie conversation will come up and I will simply order another Margarita. Jeff Wechsler has his own squad in our men's league now and our team managed to lose to a joke team this week as me Nemy and Mike Martin sat out. Artem still believes the team is spicy but they still lost. I'm so confused in general.
