Even though it's probably about 80 years old now, I still enjoy some of the old Christmas movies and music.

This scene with Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby from White Christmas, impersonating a couple sister gals they've been trying to hustle, still cracks me up. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

Milwaukee Admirals getting crushed on the play so far but Matt Murray from St. Albert going 30 for 30 so far. Spenser Martin on the Wolves on face 13 shots but has let in 2 of them.

So in the end Spenser stops 14/18.
The Wolves absolutely dominate the game and go so hard to break the goose egg. Matt Murray of the Admirals stop s 43/44. A .977 save percentage.

Looks like Mitch Korn was right.

I hope this is the correct topic to post this, i assume it is because it will be offtopic for everything else.

I listened to a finnish podcast published day after xmas with Kurri as a guest. Maybe you want to hear what he said maybe not, posting anyway.

First of all every guest in the podcast is asked for their all time lineup with the players they have played, Jari went with:

Kurri Gretzky Tikkanen
Coffey Ruotsalainen
Fuhr

There is a line that you could put me in the 2nd line and still win games.

Another tidbit from the "interview" was that Gretzky never wanted to leave Edmonton (and the bullshit rumors about his wife being the reason they went to Los Angeles is not true). Kurri also said that Gretzky was given an opportunity to back out of the trade just before the press conference that i assume you all have seen, and he said "it's too far gone it's already done we can't call it off now".

Well that's all, just wanted to tell you what Kurri said in the podcast.
