Deadspin
This is the final NHL Closer (for now) be written by the fine folks at Melt Your Face Off. Enjoy.
Derian Hatcher doesn't score often, but when he does..... Hatcher scored with just over 10 minutes left to put the Flyers over the Panthers 1-0. Hatcher said after the game, "It's always nice to score. What more can I say?" That's something you would say after your buddies walk in on you screwing a 70 year old hooker. Not what you say after winning a game. Antero Nittymaki made 38 saves for the shutout.
The Rangers Old Folks Home Isn't Done Yet. The Rangers got goals from Brenden Shanahan, Chris Drury, Jaromir Jagr and Dan "Don't Call Me Joe" Girardi. Which of these names is not like the others? Quick tip: When you're relying on a team of players that were playable in NHL 94? It's time to rethink strategies. But it worked for them last night, with Shanahan tipping in the winner in OT.
The Sedin Brothers Will Hunt You Down. Henrik and Daniel Sedin are twin brothers that play for the Vancouver Canucks. They hooked up for an early goal that sent the Canucks over Anaheim 2-1. How unfair is it to have twin brothers playing Left Wing and Center on the same line? There should be rules against this.
Quick programming note: Just because MYFO is closing down the Closer, there's still fun to be had at our site (http://meltyourfaceoff.wordpress.com). Tune in later today for my report as I tried to look professional by scoring press passes to the Tampa Bay Lightning College Challenge over the weekend.

I'm really going to miss them. Er, us.
NHL Closer, we hardly knew ye.
N-n-n-no, guys. Season continues through to May. I thought you knew that.
These guys were the shit.
Wait, what?
Derian Hatcher potting one not only signifies the End of Days, but the end of the Closer as well.
Those kids at MYFO might have something there.
SWEDISH twins.
finally, those words can excite the female population.
@Reasonable Doubt for a Reasonable Price: Totally agree, man.
Who?
Well-known fact: The NHL season ends when Derian Hatcher scores a goal.
@Tuffy: No wonder the Bruins quit playing last week. They saw it coming a mile away.
Y'all come back soon. Don't be a stranger.
MYFO Closer was the best! I hope you guys are back for the playoffs.
:(
See you in the new year? I need the Fair and Balanced counterpoint to all this college basketball hooey.
/Bask-et-ball?
@koivutoakill: Come see us at our place. The only baskets there are the ones you put biscuits into.
Kicked out like a cheap whore the morning after at Smoot's place.
MYFO - you will be missed.
Don't blame me, I voted for MYFO to stay, MoFo's!
Y'all better be back...
@Hextall454: @Reasonable Doubt for a Reasonable Price: +1
SSW stays and this goes... killin me here.
Leitch now has to power to end seasons.
Whaaat? Why is NHL Closer leaving?
Why?!?! It was must-read stuff for me every morning!
Why must hockey fans have to deal with their closer being eliminated for no good reason!!!
Next thing I know, Bettman will move the games to the fucking NFL Network!
@koivutoakill:
Basketball: a sport where the most minor, even incidental, physical contact violates the rules, and where each team gets 20 time outs per half.
@Walker Told Me I Have AIDS: As long as Mike Emrick comes along to balance Bryant Gumbel's anti-knowledge, we could be OK with that.
Or, just have Rich Eisen do color with Emrick. It beats the hell out of Chico Resch
Wait - is this the last NHL Closer, or just the last one by the gentlemen of MYFO?
