Fun stat of the day

The Dallas Stars have set the NHL record for Empty Net goals with 22

 

Laine is not pronounced lane; it's something like lay nuy'. Is that fun?

 

that is not fun, for simpletons like me anyway.

 

thats interesting. obviously you have to be good enough to have the lead so often but i wonder if they play a more offensive style than the norm when the other team pulls the goalie. you happen to have access to the stat of how many goals they've given up when the opposition pulls their goalie?

 

Not exactly fun, persay, but a huge stat.

All seven Canadian teams are now officially mathematically eliminated from the playoff hunt.

Dammmmmmmmmmmmmm......

 

Jamie Benn netted his 40th of the season to match his career-high point total (40-43--87).

 

On this date...

1972: Bobby Hull scores 604th and final goal as a Blackhawk
1969: Ted Irvine sets record for fastest OT playoff goal
1939: Bruins' Mel Hill earns nickname 'Sudden Death'

 

On this date in history:

Anthrax poisoning killed 62 people on this date
Woodrow Wilson asks for a declaration of war
Panthers LW John McFarland was born

 

remember when John Macfarland was going to go #1?

 

No.

 

he was a man child, the 1st pick in the OHL draft and supposed be the future #1 pick in to
he NHL.

 

A picture of the future of the NHL...in 2008

 

2008 - the year of cody hodgson and kyle beach.

 

uggghh, that was a tough draft outside of the few major hits.
is Beach retired? maybe Benning can bring him back home.

 

beach was a hawk pick, not that they did any worse after the hodgson pick.

 

Don't forget Filatov. Many amongst Lennie had CLB "stealing" him at number 6.

 

some nice later round steals in that draft-
Josi went # 38, Stepan 51, Holtby 93, Nyquist 121, Spurgeon 156, Atkinson 157.
Erik Karlsson #15 too.

moral of the story here is that teh Hawks and Canucks suck.

 

The Sabres traded #13 in '08 and an '09 3rd to the LAK to move up one spot and nab Myers at 12. I'm happy with that since LA also went D, but that guy would not have netted Bogosian like Myers did.

With the 1st (#26) from SJ in the Campbell trade, Darcy selected T. Ennis. We still do not know what he'll net, but has worked out a heluva a lot better than most picks.

 

Hat Trick for Kane today. 100th point. First 100 point season by a Hawk since the 90's.

 

just figured out that LA could've had Doughty and Karlsson in that draft.
