Fun stat of the day

bob, it's been nice knowing u. questioning sid's greatness is akin to a cartoon of mohammed with a bomb in his turban.

 

lol, no kidding.
I just don't get it. Lemieux needed certain players around him to rack up stats and so did Gretzky. How about adjusting to the league where 8 of the last 10 cup winning teams worried about winning all shifts instead of just dominating some matchups with just one or two lines?

 

Sid still dictates matchups, use him as a decoy and he'll still get numbers. Lord help us then though, then people would say Malkin is better, OV is better, etc.

 

dayum, bob. first u question his greatness, and then u suggest OV as a possible substitute???

who are u - paul kersey?

 

in my book, that's one of the all time great movie stills right there.

golan and globus, take a bow.

i apologize, pretty sure i've missed my responsibility a couple of times lately. gonna get back on track right now.

 

I was just about to call you a SLAKUR!!!

Thanks by the way. Can always use a good Garbutt!

 

nearly 3 weeks into the season, and 19 teams still haven't been in a shootout yet.

*THUMBSUP*

 

Sabres pick up their first road win of the season (1-2-0).

 

What's so fun about that?

Oh, I get it - the Sabres win, the Saaaabrrrrres wiiinnnn!

 

Ryan Miller was in goal the season Buffalo started their season 10-0; tied with TOR for the best ever franchise start.

Ryan Miller was in goal last night to thwart the Habs' bid to join that elite group. Thank you, Ryan. I was takin' it kinda personal too.

So what's the Fun Stat? ... Ryan Miller gets a mention on this board, and it's not negative.

 

Kane-Anisimov-Panarin have scored every 5 on 5 goal for Chicago since opening night against the Rangers.
