YES. I couldn’t even bring myself to comment on the rankings yesterday. Well done.

Last face-off by Craig MacTavish before NYR won the cup in ‘94. I was 4 and I had fell asleep during the third. My Dad woke me up for the last 30 seconds or so and the celebration.
I know the media ran him out of town so there was no way they were going to keep him, but Reimer had a fine year in Toronto last year before the trade. 0.935 Save% at evens on 85% of his total shots against - problem is he got lit up on the PK (0.815 Save%). He could potentially steal a job somewhere at some point…
I used to live across from Hair of the Dog. Anytime we’d end up there, I would point and laugh with my STL friends until one of them finally told me to shut up. Worth it.
Mike Johnston deserves all the praise he’s getting, however it’ll be interesting to see if he lasts longer than Bylsma. That said, I think Ruteherford has bought more into analytics with a few of the hires he’s made from the online community.
I would love to see the Penguins trade Murray and regret it down the road. Doubtful though, they’re on board with the metrics movement. Even disregarding his obviously great AHL seasons, he’s faced ~740 NHL even strength shots alone this year, good for over a 0.930 EVSV%. Just on those shots, history (aka the…
Or double checking location on the wall to see how low he has to dig to get it back there...
You’re looking for Doc Emrick, not Pierre (color guy/”analyst”), who is also terrible as he makes up words and never know when to just shut the hell up and let the game breathe.
Is it a shame the Bolts will lose him for nothing? Yes. That said, Stamkos simply will not be worth his contract once he ages past 30. There is a reason why the NHLPA has never pushed for UFA rights before the age of 25 sans a few loopholes ... proven players get paid for the long term off their accomplishments.
Dumping Girardi or Staal is the key part here. Etem was never given a shot, even though I agree that was a horrible trade. Can’t wait to see AV ruin Buchnevich! /killme
When I moved to St. Louis for work in 2013 I got to know some real die-hard Blues fans through men’s league games. I was always astonished at the lack of confidence (which still exists) to this day in Elliott. He was a national champion at Wisco with a casual 0.930 career save percentage in 86 GP. Only one season…
Don Cherry: HERE NOW KIDS, PAY ATTENTION, WE GOT DOUGIE-
Jumbo Joe has had the benefit of hot shooting (both his and his teammates) this year, but man if he keeps playing like this he could probably do it until 40 or so.
Murray has 72 AHL games played at over 0.930+ Save% wise and landed with a 0.930 in his 13 NHL GP this year (sans playoffs). Unless he’s riding some unbelievable multi-year hot streak, he’s proving his potential as an NHL goaltender. I hate every second of it, as a Rangers fan.
Someone signed up as “Peter Klima’s Helmet” in my NHL bracket pool and they have yet to claim it. Impressed and furious all at once.
I usually gloss over your hockey bashing, Drew, but your comment in the first paragraph is spoken like a true (most likely daily) SportsCenter viewer. Spare me.
I would completely agree here. Until kids want nothing more than just a ball to entertain them, on-field practice (albeit great) can only go so far. I grew up playing hockey and am lucky enough to be from a town that embraces the game. There's a reason why 2-3 kids every year from our high school team goes and plays…
Barbasol is only good for hot pinning shave cream bottles on Halloween, when you're 12.

I've seen better moves on a twister mat.
Ophelia should be a bit higher to me, but The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down being in the top three shows the validity of the list.
