I was at the game...probably Joe's last game in LA vs the Kings.  We had great seats behind the Florida bench.  Joe saw my Cornell sweatshirt and pointed his stick at me during warmups!  That was a nice thrill and I felt like such a kid again.  It's been fun seeing him score goals against the Kings over the years.

I took some pics of Joe, and dumped the nicer ones into a photo bucket account: http://photobucket.com/albums/d107/PhilAbramowitz/

Nieuwendyk uncharacteristically lashes out at his team after the loss:

 "We compete in these games -- same thing here today," Nieuwendyk said. "But we find ways to lose, and that's a sign of not a very good hockey club right now. We have to be determined to turn it around, but until we all look at ourselves in the mirror and make the commitment, it's not going to happen. We're going to see this story again and again.

"There may have to be people that move, there may have to be people that come in. Until you develop some sort of team identity, which we don't seem to have, you're going to spin your tires."
