They must have just looked at his Vezina wins and not realized they were retro-Jennings and all split with Dryden. Pretty bad :laugh:.

I remember as a kid going through the hockey yearbook one year and being confused by the number of all-stars on the Tampa Bay Lightning. "How could they only have 14 wins with all these great players?" I thought.

Turns out they were just the All-Star patches a team wears on their jersey the year they host the game. Kind of similar to what the guy making that list did. Except at the time I wasn't being PAID actual MONEY for my hockey analysis.
 
Clutterbuck signs 5 yr deal with Isles


Elliotte Friedman ‏@FriedgeHNIC 2h2 hours ago

Clutterbuck AAV is $3.5M



HOlland USA bound, not a bad pickup for them.

Elliotte Friedman ‏@FriedgeHNIC 20m20 minutes ago

Think Peter Holland is going to ARIZ for a conditional draft pick


Learning from a good coach how to play a 200 foot game, what a concept....

Nail Yakupov in STL lineup tonight at NJD. Been healthy scratched 5 of last 6, but Hitchcock says he's improving, learning 200-ft game.

Yakupov had only been an Oiler. He has to be deprogrammed.
 
What are the Islanders doing. First Ladd now this. I thought Snow was doing Snow type things. Looks like he is reverting back to the norm.
 
Bernier in net for Anaheim and Jones in net for San Jose...

Feels so... what's the word I'm looking for...

What I really like about the Sens' system/coaching: Boucher gives them different looks throughout the game.

What I dislike: 4 of 5 looks are passive, trapping, sit on your thumbs chicken **** hockey. They were in their own zone right now basically in an umbrella not moving. I wish we could get the 2012 Kings back to pound the snot out of that passive ********.
 
Doesn't it seem weird that the Jets have played five more games than us? The scheduling is all over the place.

Jets have played 32 games in 60 days. When you take out the heritage classic break where they played just 1 game in 5 days, you have 31 games in 55 days. That's insane.

I do wonder if Jets request lots of game near the start of the year though. They are always among leaders in most games played until late Jan/Feb every year. 6 straight years they've played more games in first half of season than anyone else.

After tonight :EDM and CAL will have played 4 more than us.

And Laine scored the GWG tonight for EDM when he cleared it right into his own net. It was a hell of a shot by him, too bad he plays for the Jets.:amazed:

All he does is score goals.

I think the league schedules more Canadian clubs early in the year till the NFL is done. Just makes sense.

People here are very pumped about where Calgary is in the Pacific, but come on..they have played way more games than a lot of teams. That said they have been playing a lot better.

Right now 5 Pacific teams would make the playoffs....who would have guessed that?
 
Yup, pretty good year for Sid as it is coming to a close...

Sidney Crosby's 2016:
-Stanley Cup
-Conn Smythe
-World Cup
-World Cup MVP
-48 goals, 90 points in 67 RS games
-19 points in 24 playoff games


Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun 6h6 hours ago

Crosby's points-per-game avg this season translates to 114 pts over 82 games, which would be highest tally in NHL since 2006-07 (120 by him)

The reviews im seeing are through the roof. Much better than tfa reviews.

Remember its star wars in name only. More of an action drama than adventure movie that has personified star wars to date.

Same here. I'm pretty stunned, considering the wooden acting in the trailers and 40% reshoot over the summer. But places like IGN are giving it a 9 out 10 and nominating it as one of the best films of 2016. Pretty confident its going to be great.

The Cubs and Rogue One may save this craptastic year. Every review has been positive, ranking as good, if not better than most of the Original Trilogy. This movie is putting the war in Star Wars. Don't believe the bs around the reshoots [40 pct wasn't even accurate], which were planned from the start, just like every big movie ever made.
