64 games in the books between Jordan Tootoo and Andrew Desjardins. They have exactly one assist between them. OK, Tootoo has a lot of zeroes. Blender smells funny!
If the Sabres never played on Thursdays this season then they would have a 23-13-8 record, for a fun stat .614 ave. pts. per game. Unfortunately today is Thursday, and the sad fact is they are 1-10-2 on Thursdays. WTF?! They're playing the Avs right now. They lead 1-0 in the 2nd. I'm nervous.
Normally it would not be fun to cite a 2-10-2 season record for Thursday games. But since the Sabres started this Thursday with a 1-10-2 record, that's a fun stat.
Jaromir Jagr joins Gordie Howe and Chris Chelios as the only players in NHL history to score a goal after turning 45.
That is truly amazing. I would have thought that there would have been a few others, especially with all the history of the league and so many tens of thousands of games on smaller ice.
5v5, St. BigFat has 14 points in 59 games and he plays w Connor McDavid. Out of 282 eligible Fs (min 500 minutes played) he is ranked 251 in pts/ minutes played 5v5. and again, he plays w/ Connor McDavid. He's in the first year of a 7 year deal that carries a $6m cap hit and he's 29 going on 59.
I was so ticked when he scored on Chicago. I don't think his contract will be in the way for a few years. His salary is frontloaded with bonus payments. I think he'll be somewhat easy to unload for the last 2 or 3 years when his cap hit really gets in the way. In the meantime, I hope he sucks.
i think this contract is a loser right off the hop. the early $8m per payout has to hurt Edmonton now, and then when McDavid gets his whack outside of the ELC theyre gonna be tighter and Bigfat is gonna still suck. i can see that. can we make him a Canuck already or what?
For the month of February, the Penz are 7-1-3 (17 pts out of a possible 21). In the process, earning a point in every game but one (up yours, Detroit). The PengWINZ have one game left this month (tonite) at big-D.
