Kid Plays a Man's Game



Jacob Markstrom finishes with 40 saves in Florida's 2-1 victory in Montreal on Monday night. The Canadiens look puny and in need of more moves than starting Peter Budaj in net. Jacques Martin never looked so much at a loss for ideas. Losing will do that to a coach and a team.

And yet in their second game of the season, the Habs skated circles around the Winnipeg Jets.

And now those Jets are finding chances in spurts. Both the Jets and the Rangers are trying to establish some momentum through 40 minutes. It's 1-1 after two.

In Philly, the Flyers had enough grit and scoring prowess to turn back the Maple Leafs, 4-2. Two goals and as many salutes from Jaromir Jagr.

And a note to Bill Pidto of MSG. It's the Kings' Jonathan Bernier (Burn-yea), not Burn-EE-Yea.

Write it down and practice it. You have 20 minutes to get it right. The Lounge is listening.
