Not sure where to ask it but does anyone know how much it costs to have a name and number sewn on a jersey ? I'd probably have it done locally in the Buffalo area...FWIW it's a Heritage Classic jersey

This seems like a mistake on the Blues part. Was Berube the reason the Blues are in the spot they are in? Also, can he run a power play unit...?

The coach often takes the fall for the failures of the GM or his goalie(s). Armstrong has given out a bunch of NTC's to guys who really don't seem worth it making it nearly impossible to shift anyone, particularly on defense. Also, the Blues PP is heinous as of his firing - 8.4%.

Tangentially, I'm mildly curious how or if this impacts Weber down the line. He's a good egg.

Too much attention to these guys' antics and they're just getting full of themselves at this point. They act like they're high on crack almost every game, when it's probably a bunch of media driven ego self-boosting.

I was speaking to Kochetkov's save being awesome. As for Matthew and Brady, it's a lot like Sideshow Bob era Darcy Tucker right now for me: amusing to watch from afar.

Oh yeah I know...it WAS awesome. As for the brothers, I would really hate being on their team and getting sucked into the drama every other night. Kinda like the Maple Leafs cleaning up after Matthews the last year or so.

This is awesome -


Tkatchuk is a baby.

This was Hasek's go to if a player came in on a breakaway and he could get to them.

Hell Hasek did it halfway to the blueline. Maybe this one isn't the best example since they gave him a penalty but if you had your head down he would rush you

it was an awesome save. he got the pad on it, so the ref couldn't say shit about it. I wish more goalies would do that. All these f***ing prima donnas with their dipsy doodle shit, coming in at 1 mph. Love it. f*** Tkachuk.

The most amazing thing about this play is that neither Hasek nor Gaborik got injured as a result of it.

I think Hasek made that move like once a game. Ok maybe I am exaggerating but he did it a few times and never saw a complaint.

The other move that made me laugh was when he would bat the puck out of the air.

He was one of a kind.

If an NHL coach is under contract and gets fired does the new team need permission to speak to the fired coach since he is still getting paid. I can't keep up with all the rules in all the leagues.....

Or its not like the NFL.
