While we wait.... highlights from other hockey leagues

biggest goal scoring off a cliff in NHL history?
without checking stats, Heatley might rival it

Warren Young went from 1 goal in a season to 40 goals with Lemieux and then back to the AHL.

Did I read that correctly? Aside from the blatant offside goal that was allowed to count, the penalty tally is 24-0 with SKA not being penalized in the series?

that penalty total was in the first game.
to be fair (reported) there was a misconduct in there,
so powerplays were only 7-0.

didn't think he'd catch Magic
missed time at WJHC, too
(I know Nilsson did it in fewer games)

Faceoff with .3 seconds left. Scrivens bot, activate:

the play is to crank it about a foot and a half to Scrivens' left and hope for a shin pad.
Ben should have just taken the face-off like that.

Putin didn't like these teams.

AHL drama unfolding

Toronto Marlies (baby leafs) took the first two games of the best-of-five,
and Utica Comets (baby Nucks) held serve at home.
Boucher leading the way with 3 goals (thank goodness he cleared waivers) and Goldobin with 6 assists.
Differnece seems to be Thatcher Demko .929, Garret Sparks .860


deciding game back in Toronto on Sunday



Boucher with a nifty dangle

EHC Red Bull München: So lief die geheime Meisterfeier

Translate. EHC won the title and Keith Aucoin officially retiring from organized hockey.

Wahlstrom just missed a wide open net in the U18 gold medal game with 1 second left that would have tied the game. Finland Gold, USA Silver.

Can confirm. Game ended about 1:10 or so. Didn't make it easy to get up for work this morning.

Lyon was absolutely on fire all night long.

LOL

I was invited out to a drop-in game a couple of weeks ago, and I knew the goalie I was facing pretty well.
it was one of those night for me, everything was going in, and on the 6th or 7th goal it was a snap-shot using the d-man as a screen, blocker side and bar-down.
well, it sounded nice so I did a big arms-in-the-air loop around the net, and then a second big arms-in-the-air loop around the goalie (a reminder, my friend, so it was completely in jest).

it was only after the game that I found out hardly anyone knew each other out there, so i just looked like a massive asshole.
