Leafs win, short-handed Penguins shutout, and Carmelo Anthony deal is not over yet

The Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Anaheim Ducks with J.S. Giguere put down against his former team making 26 saves on 28 shots Mikhail Grabovski had 2 goals in the game and now has 20 goals on the season and Phil Kessel had 2 assists also in the game. The best comments from Ron Wilson after the game was Dion Phaneuf played his best game in a month and this is funny because he is their captain.

The Penguins are shutout 2-0 by the woeful New Jersey Devils as both Crosby and Malkin out of the line-up as Martin Brodeur got another number on his shutout total and Nick Palmieri and Brian Rolston had the goals while the Penguins will probably be resting their stars until after next weekend's all-star game.

Also the Carmelo Anthony deal is not over yet I believe that the Nets will have him by the end of this weekend because things usually get down just after someone like the Nets owner comes out and says we are not dealing with this guy anymore and are planned trip to go to visit him this weekend is cancelled. When Anthony gets to New Jersey/Brooklyn his success will be defined by who else is brought in free agency in the off-season because Chauncey Billups will be good coming over but that is the team right now as Richard Hamilton probably will not be there long.

Thanks
