Out of the active goalies, only Fleury (3 Cups) , Luongo (longevity, 4th in all time wins) and maybe Lundqvist (Vezina, 7th in wins) probably make it in.
Yep. Vachon has 3, Worsley 4 and Lumley has 1

Teams in bold are top ten in the league
Teams underlined are bottom ten in the league
* = top 5
** = bottom 5
9 home games out of 15. 8 games against bottom 10 clubs, 3 of which are against bottom 5 clubs.
Yeah we really need to handle business in this part of the schedule.
If the HHOF weren't as strict with their goalies I'd say there's a good chance he'd make it, but I don't know with how things are currently.

He's at 320 wins now. I believe he can get to 400 before his career ends. That's top 15 all time. I'm not saying first ballot. I believe he will sometime.
I'm assuming it's just simply an organizational decision but does anyone know why we as a team don't have Thanksgiving home games anymore? Maybe the league just doesn't want to allow it, I don't know. But I always liked them. It was nice to look forward to.

It's an awkward thing. Canada has it' thanksgiving near Halloween. America's in November. Which one do you celebrate on the league calendar? If I was commish. I'd have all American games on Canadian Thanksgiving and all Canadian games on American Thanksgiving. An even bigger BUT the NFL has usurped thanksgiving as their holiday just as the NBA has taken over Christmas. Is there a holiday that is hockey's?
It certainly doesn't hurt if he gets to 400.
The thing is the Hall is notoriously stingy when it comes to goalies. A Vezina definitely helps his cause and if he can win another that'd be icing on the cake.
Speaking of Rinne, can anybody else see Peks playing into his 40s?
I agree with the NFL thing but from what I remember, we were typically the only American team to play on Thanksgiving and we'd play at home. I think Sean Henry said something about it a few years ago but it's been a little while now.
I was just browsing around hockeydb.com and noticed a 21 yo player named Evan Fiala (no relation). Fortunately (well, not for him), he doesn't appear to be any good, so there's no fear of him making the NHL and causing confusion. His name is still a little funny, though.

Oh that's right, I do remember that!
Not that it matters, Ellis' goal didn't count as a 3-on-5 goal anyway. It was a 3-on-4 situation with the goalie pulled.
I have absolutely zero idea why I think I remember this, but does anyone know if this happened in a road game against the Islanders?

Looking at the stats from last year at this time everyone is pretty close to the same pace.
Forsberg is trailing his pace some Johansen is ahead of his.

Did Forsberg have this many goals at this point last year? I dont ever remember him being on this kind of goal scoring pace. And Johansen was the talk of the NHL last year with how long it took him to score his first goal

RIP Steve
Free Agency Day. Ha!
I knew what you meant. Easter works. Playoffs or end of regular season games are in session and it's always a Sunday. Valentine's Day and Halloween are hard sells because your audience is diminished.
I find it strange that the NHL has 4 of the 7 Canadian teams playing early games on the road today. Its just a regular Friday for their fans, so most of them can't watch their team, however our game is one of five around the league with two American teams playing at normal night hours. Seems like maybe the US teams should be taking up all the early spots, but whatever.
