Ongoing NHL Thread

For most teams a 4-0 1st period lead would be a guaranteed win. Not the Isles. Not with this lineup. Not with Anders Nilsson in goal.

You could have helped the Jackets by playing him Sunday, you know.

Nah. Nabokov might have earned himself the backup job next year with that shutout. That's what Garth wants.

Disgraceful.

Ontario NHL hockey is just about as bad as Alberta NHL hockey these days.

Ontario NHL hockey had all three teams make it last season, and they still could have two this season - so it's not all bad - but in general the Canadian teams have gotten worse through the years

I guess you mean MTL as the third Ontario team. They aren't from Ontario and you might want to be careful about that one.

Heck, Montreal might not be part of Canada if a certain lady gets her way...

I like to group Montreal with Ottawa and Toronto, as the Eastern portion of Canada

Quebec is going to break apart and be on an island by theirselves

Cobie should replace Rob Anders in the House of Commons

Cobie should replace Rob Anders in the House of Commons

Despite knowing next to nothing about Canada (he's American after all) and presumably having no experience in politics or public office, Cobie would almost certainly be better than Rob Anders.

The Grapes of Wrath:

1) Leafs love those College guys. Signed Eric Knodel from University of New Hampshire. Going to get a tryout with the Marlies. That means

2) he takes a spot from some guy slugging it out on the buses. If you want to make the Leafs or get a tryout just go to a US College

Apologies if already posted - A classic malfunction at the junction.

interesting rule tidbit and one that I have always wanted the NHL to adopt (or in this case readopt since I didnt know they did this before)

Rule changes in 1957
At the start of this season, the NHL changed the way power plays work. Prior to this season, a team could score as many goals as they wanted in a two minute power play with the penalised player remaining in the penalty box. The NHL changed it so that when a goal is scored on a two minute power play, the power play finished. The reason for this was because the Montreal Canadiens were so dominant on the power play, the NHL needed a way of ensuring parity. The previous season saw the Canadiens score 26% of all the league's power play goals. Oddly enough, the number of power play goals league-wide actually increased from 251 to 265 after the rule changed. Montreal, though, scored 10 fewer power play goals.

if there is any more clear evidence that this guy is stuck in the 60's its this attitude about "college boys"

they didnt put in work right, grapes ... they had everything handed to them
