For the second week in a row Monday night football features a team hosting the team that used to play in its home city. And if the
Houston Texans and
Tennessee Titans simply show up tonight, it will already be better than whatever it was we witnessed last week between the
Ravens and
Browns.
That said,
Vince Young looks to lead the
Titans to a fourth straight win, while the
Texans need a win to keep pace in their fight for their first ever playoff appearance. Please be sure to stop by the live chat and take part in the fun. Chat kicks off at 8:30 PM ET.

The idea of 65 minutes of hockey (including overtime) being decided by what is essentially a skills competition is one of the most polarizing rule changes hockey has seen over the the past decade.
Love it or hate it, the shootout is a part of the NHL and it's not likely to be going away anytime soon. So, is it worth it for a team to carry a "shootout specialist," even if he has potentially no other value as an NHL player?

We're trying something different to replace the old Newsmakers in the NHL posts. Hopefully you'll like it. Each weekday we'll take a look at one positive performance from the previous night (a plus), and one negative performance from the previous night (a minus). It's the plus/minus.Tell us what you think at nhlfanhouse@gmail.com.

Losing Alex Ovechkin for two weeks didn't stop the Washington Capitals from winning games, and he picked up right where he left off in his return, scoring his 15th goal of the season in a 4-2 win against the New York Rangers on Tuesday night. With that, the Caps take over the top spot in this week's
NHL Power Rankings, while another team reclaims its familiar spot at the bottom of the pile.

Anaheim Ducks defenseman
Scott Niedermayer decided to celebrate his team's 4-3 overtime win (in which he scored the game-winning goal) against the
Tampa Bay Lightning by giving his stick to a young girl seated in the front row.
Unfortunately, that's when the lower bowl of the Honda Center turned into the thunderdome and fists started to fly. (Video of the incident after the jump.)

If you weren't expecting much from the
Carolina Hurricanes and Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night, you're forgiven.
After all, the two teams entered the game with a combined 22 points on the season (there were eight individual teams in action on Thursday that had more points than that) and were the bottom two clubs in the
NHL standings. That didn't stop them from playing what turned out to be one hell of a hockey game, as the
Hurricanes picked up a 6-5 shootout win.

The Detroit Red Wings lost to the
Dallas Stars, 3-1, on Wednesday night, and it's possible that the game could have had a far different outcome had the referees not taken a goal away from
Brad May at the 6:40 mark of the third period.
I'm not one to blame officials for teams losing games, but every once in a while the men in stripes make a call that defies all reason and logic, and this is one of those moments.
