Henrik! Henrik! Henrik!

I might have a little bit of a man-crush. Ok, so I'm not a man...but this isn't your typical girl *swoon* oh he's so cute! crush. Nothing like that. First of all, he's not cute...but more importantly, I am simply amazed by this goalie, and he's not even on my team. Sure I love Giguere (who, by the way, is in the top 5 of ALL of these categories right now: GAA Leaders, SV% leaders, Shutouts (T-5), shoot out wins, and regular wins) - but Lundqvist is SO fun to watch. He makes some of the most amazing saves I've ever seen, and I've seen him bail his offense out on more than a couple occasions. I'm sure it helps that he's a class act too. I heard somewhere that after every shutout he gets, he buys 3 bottles of the best wine (or champagne? can't remember which..) he can find. He then draws 3 of his teammates names out of a hat when he gets either back home, on the plane, or back to the hotel - and he gives a bottle to each of the guys whose name he draws. I've also seen him hand his game stick to a fan in the crowd on his way into the locker room after a game. Ok so this little gush is a preamble to the video I've included for tonight's viewing. His is the number 3 save, and it's pretty impressive.

Jess's Picks:
Lightning @ Bruins: With the way the Bruins have been playing recently, I wouldn't be shocked to see Tampa Bay run away with this one. That said, I think that the Bruins will squeak by at home.
Flames @ Thrashers: I'm calling the Thrashers - I'm bound to get one of these picks with them sometime.
Senators @ Canadiens:***Bold Pick Alert*** Ok, so I don't know if it's as bold as it is stupid, but I'm saying the Senators upset the Canadiens tonight.
Stars @ Red Wings: bleh....just...bleh
Kings @ Predators: Another bold pick - I think the Kings win this game. The Preds are on a losing streak, and the Kings are due for a win. (It made sense in my head)
Devils @ Wild: This should be an interesting game; one that I'll probably watch. I think that the Wild win this - they need it more.
Oilers @ Avalanche: I have to call the Avs.
Canucks @ Coyotes: The schizophrenic Desert Dogs will probably upset the Canucks - especially if the 'nucks play like they did against the Ducks last night.

I showed you mine, now you show me yours...
