MVN - Most Valuable Network

Did he say pears?

Tuesday Night’s theme in HockeyLand was pairs:

* A pair of records from the Senators victory over the Leafs:
** Best NHL 14 Game Start Ever - 13-1-0.
** Set a team record with 8 straight wins.

* A pair of rivalry games:
** Long Island Jews beating the Soulless Manhattanites in DiPietro’s return to the lineup.
- Speaking of the New York Metropolitan Area.
** Canucks beating Canucks.

* A pair of injured current stars:
** Ilya Kovalchuk left the game with back spasms in Tuesday’s OT win over the Capitals.
** Jason Spezza missed his 4th straight game.

* A pair of injured former stars:
** Eric Lindros is set to retire.
** Peter Forsberg leaves his Swedish team with an injury.
- Worst trade ever?

* A pair of DUI’s:
** John Leclair getting caught.
** Mark Bell’s finally getting over getting caught.

And quickly …

* Had to mention the tragedy of Benoit Pouliot being sent back to the minors. Not only because his name is amazing, but also because of this (worst faux-hawk EVER).
