Doesn't Sudbury average 100inches a year? 30 in a day is a third of the annual total up there.

I was being silly 30in is a ton of snow, just about 100 miles south of me in Parry Sound(in an area called the snow belt) they get a ton of snow. They get the lake effect so they get those 30+inch snow falls quite often.

Jesus. Detroit would be LOST without Larkin this year.

How is that only a 2 minute minor on the Avs?!

 

[SladeWilson23]

thats our typical Fri night up in Sudbury lol

Have you ever been in a blizzard? We're talking 2 feet of snow in a 12 hour period with 50mph winds.

 

[JT Kreider]

Mrazek got the only goal he needed. Stoned the Sabres tonight, well earned SO.

yes many, I was being factious

 

[SladeWilson23]

My bad.

 

[DeYarmond Edison]

Larkin creating it again

 

[GreatStateofHockey]

yes many, I was being factious

In al seriousness, this is supposed to be the biggest storm in D.C. history. They made the right call.

Reminds me of last year when the Sabres decided to play in a huge snowstorm, where the arena wasn't getting much snow, but 2-3 miles away they were getting hammered.

Clutterbuck outscoring Nino so far this year.

Even then it's different because blizzards are worse conditions than lake effect snow.

I can't believe that Tavares is on pace for 58 points.


I once saw him as a massive franchise player for the Isles.

usually yes, however is some areas like Parry Sound the lake effect snow is combined with the high winds and you get storms similar to the one in DC a few times a year.
Also factoring in an area like DC doesn't get massive storms like this often its going to cause more chaos than in an area that gets more snow.

Still, this storm is projected to surpass the worst blizzard of all time for the DC area from 1922.

A goal and an assist tonight. Running the show along with Hamonic.

Jesus. Detroit would be LOST without Larkin this year.

The 2015/16 Detroit Red Wings are Dylin Larkin and Petr Mrazek.

They are a bottom 5 team with out them. Mrazek is starting to post some ungodly numbers, and should be in Vezina consideration.

Because the refs have Roykic's back...

The difference is in Parry Sound and the rest of the snow belt you can just plow the snow off the road and into a ditch so people can still drive.

In a city like DC you've got to find a place to put all that plowed snow.

Not to mention I assume the 2 areas dedicate a very different amount of their yearly budgets on snow removal.

Cancelling the game was a good call imo.

Luongo about to shut out the hawks


PS.. I love how the stands look so empty in Florida, all the hawk fans left

beautiful area...........in the Summer

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

Other than the obvious top choices, Mrazek is a goalie I would love to have on my team. He's going to have to shutout the Sabres though with the way they've been struggling to score recently.

Good call.

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

What a joke of a call

Academy Award to Matt Duchene. Unreal.
