we had opportunities, brooks laich had an open net and he fanned on the shot. nick had a two on one and he missed t when you start missing those things that our power play is 0 for the last seven, when you start missing those chance, you know you are not going on all cylinders. we just -- i mean, we have to be better. >> do you think varlamov will be getting the starts here? >> i mean, everything is cyclical. is that the right word? he will probably play a little more than he did when he was going through a rough time at the beginning of the year, but, you know, i mean once theo turns it around, then theo will play a little bit. and varly might be sitting. so it goes in cycles. >> is it a tougher job this year, because you have the lead in the division. >> i don't think we need to care. our division is good. atlanta has won a lot of games. tampa is 4-0-4 in the last 8. florida is winning in detroit, they are starting to win now. you know, karen line ya is a lot -- carolina is a lot like the leafs. they are going to be a tough team to play against. unfortunately

brooke anderson, come on back in here.because, obviously, you're now a new mom yourself, so you're really getting to understand that special connection a mom has to their child. so from what you've heard, brooke, do you think it would be wrong to take the daughter away from the mother here? >> no, i don't, a.j. but it does have to be proven that that child is in a situation that is dangerous or detrimental. listen, the sad fact is, and this makes me so angry, but it is not uncommon for a mother to mistreat or neglect her child. it happens every day. and it is shameful, but we do know there are two sides to every story. bottom line, the child needs to be in the most responsible, caring, loving hands. bottom line. >> yeah. let's hear a little bit of the other side of this story. jesse's ex, janine, was seen in an explosive interview. it was on this morning on "good morning america." and she does admit, she cops to the fact that she's had some problems in the past, but really all she wants is for sandra bullock to meet her ha

brooke anderson, come on back in.ven though janine has all that baggage, do you feel sympathy for her as a mother? >> in a way i do, a.j., but another part of the interview and jim mentioned this briefly. janine said in another part of the interview that she is the best mother she knows how to be. that is key here because a lot of women did not have good examples set for them by their own mothers. i don't know if that's the case for her, but a lot of times it is all they know. they have to be taught to be responsible mothers. in a way i feel sympathy, but if she is a bad influence which she has admitted, then put the child in an environment where the people are going to do what's right by her. >> obviously what the judge will be considering. mid-win, based on all we know, where do you see it going and what will happen in the end? >> in the end they will have shared custody. jesse james and sandra have an uphill battle in terms of proving the allegations that they put forward in terms of the type of lifestyle she is cu

brooke anderson, come on back in here.n though janine has all that baggage, do you feel some sympathy for her as a mother? >> in a way, i do, a.j., but another part of the interview and jim mentioned this briefly a couple of minutes ago, janine said in another part of the interview that she is the best mother that she knows how to be. and i think that is key here, because a lot of women did not have good examples set for them by their own mothers. and i don't know if that's the case with janine, but a lot of times, it is all they know. they have to be taught to be responsible mothers. so in a way, yes, i do feel sympathy, but at the same time, if she is a bad influence, which she has admitted, and no good for this child, then put the child in an environment where the people are going to do what's right by her. >> and that's exactly, obviously, as we've mentioned, with what the judge will be considering. so midwin, based on all that we know, where do you see this thing going? what do you think is going to happen in the end?

>> i think he does, brooke. the fact that it was scribbled too just shows you how chaotic this man's lifestyle is, that he's trying to capitalize at any moment on anything going on in this media circus around him. and it shows you that kate major was naive enough to sign it too. it shows that both of them were lying about the relationship and that he, you know, in the in the first place denied it, so he's got big problems, i think. >> the biggest problem, who signs a contract on a piece of paper?! what is that?! >> it reminds me of that whole steven spielberg/amy irving prenup signed on paper. he ended up having to paid her like $100 million. but in brand-new statement to "showbiz tonight" just hours ago, jon's attorney firing back at kate major, telling us, "kate major apparently believes that jon gosselin is her obama stimulus package. the note, which i highly doubt was ever written by jon gosselin, holds as much legal water as a six-inch bucket with a nine-inch hole in the bottom. bring it on. we're ready." j

and i've got to tell you, brooke, i just think that's crazy.'ve been at this long enough to understand why people who are very cynical might think she would be doing that. but to suggest she's capitalizing on her abuse to promote an album, that's ridiculous. i mean, she's got an album out, yeah, people are going to want to talk to her about this. she took control of the situation and now she's doing it to do some good. but "showbiz tonight" viewers are writing in on both sides of the story. there are some people that think the confession is fine, but the timing is awful. barbara from north carolina e-mailed us, "of course rihanna wants to speak out now, she has an album dropping. it seems like she is using this horrific ordeal to her advantage. why wouldn't she say something three months ago?" i've said all along, when shelves like she should speak one she should speak up. do you think the time's sketchy? >> we knew she wasn't going to say anything until she had to. and yes, it seems like a little bit of a sketchy situation for her to come out
