Having said that, Jokinen can contribute on the 3rd line. This is where a "wiley veteran" can compensate with experience versus what he lacks in speed. It may not be what Chevy had in mind when signing him, but at least Jokinen is contributing, not hindering, as #3 centre.
(...)

I seem to recall suggesting that this could be a potential landing spot for him in a previous conversation. Would you still rather see him in the A?

Remember Oven-Chicken for Ovechkin? I'll admit I laughed a bit at that one but only because of how ridiculously non-sensical it was.

I'm a fan of "Ovo-Chicken" myself, simply for the egg pun. Like, which came first, the chicken or the egg? Answer: The Ovo-Chicken

But yeah, 'clever' changes to other teams names aren't that clever, unless you're correcting the typo in what should be the Maple Leaves :P

My dad went to the game in Edmonton and was not impressed with the Edmonton fans, constantly being called ********* q****, going to the bar in rexall place having ice thrown at him and his friends along with glass cups said it was pretty crazy. Lots of rednecks and classless fans. Not sure if anyone else had any bad experiences as well. All this for just wearing a Jets jersey.

What age is your dad?

"I believe" anyone should be able to wear the jersey of their team in another building if they are respectful and not beeking! Once they start beeking all bets are off. What I believe doesn't really matter though and the reality is some people act brutal with alcohol in their system. sadly if you wave the red flag you pretty much have to expect to attract a few bulls.

I haven't scripted a TOI macro yet for the versus for matchups but I do have the shot attempts +/- available:

1-4.png

my friend who is an Oiler blogger did this and is taken from a Oiler view so - is a jets + and vice versa.
No TOI for context so remember a -4 in 4 minutes could be less bad than a -2 in 1 minute.

I do fancystats breakdowns of every game now at AIH here:

REally good article thanks for posting....Noel appears to have some method to his madness as far as usage goes with a few notable acceptions.

Pretty suprised by James Wright's 5 on 5 TOI ?

Stuie and Postma were not sheltered much (if i have that right) and might have needed a bit more help.
