The Ditch part deux

Home owned by Tyler Seguin heavily damaged by Dallas tornado

DALLAS (AP) — Dallas Stars player Tyler Seguin says his home was heavily damaged by severe storms that swept through Dallas, but no one was hurt.

The National Weather Service says at least one tornado struck the north Dallas area on Sunday night, and other possible tornadoes were reported as well.

Heavy damage is reported throughout much of the Dallas area, and tens of thousands of people are without power.

The hockey player said on Twitter that he had moved to another home and that the property damaged late Sunday was listed for sale. He wrote: ‘‘I just left the area and it is an extremely sad sight to see.’’

Tens of thousands of homes and businesses were without power, including the Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport in Highfill, about 155 miles (250 kilometers) northwest of Little Rock. The airport says flights were still departing, though security screenings were being done manually.

Dallas Fire-Rescue says there have been no reports of fatalities or serious injuries in the aftermath of the tornado, but three people were hospitalized for evaluation of non-life-threatening injuries.

DROP THE PUCK !!!

 

NEW YORK - Boston Bruins right wing David Pastrnak, Washington Capitals defenseman John Carlson and Buffalo Sabres goaltender Carter Hutton have been named the NHL's "Three Stars" for the week ending Oct. 20.

FIRST STAR - DAVID PASTRNAK, RW, BOSTON BRUINS
Pastrnak topped the NHL in both goals (7) and points (9), recording multiple points in all three of his appearances to guide the Bruins (5-1-2, 12 points) to a 1-0-2 week. Pastrnak scored all four of Boston's goals, including the winner, in a 4-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks Oct. 14. Pastrnak, who posted his fifth career hat trick, registered the 25th four-goal performance in Bruins history and first since Jan. 6, 2018 (Patrice Bergeron: 4-1-5 vs. CAR). Pastrnak (2-1-3) then factored on each of Boston's next three goals in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning Oct. 17. He added another multi-point effort to finish the week, compiling 1-1-2 in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs Oct. 19. The 23-year-old Havirov, Czech Republic, native shares the League lead with nine goals and ranks fourth overall with 15 points through eight contests this season. The 2014 NHL Draft pick (25th overall) also sits one point shy of 300 for his career (141 158-299 in 328 GP).

 

SECOND STAR - JOHN CARLSON, D, WASHINGTON CAPITALS
Carlson paced the NHL with seven assists and ranked second with eight points in four games to propel the Capitals (6-2-2, 14 points) to a 3-1-0 week. He notched one assist in a 6-3 loss to the Colorado Avalanche Oct. 14. Carlson then registered consecutive three-point outings, compiling 1-2-3 (including the GWG) in a 4-3 triumph over the Toronto Maple Leafs Oct. 16 and three assists in a 5-2 victory against the New York Rangers Oct. 18. He added one more helper in a 5-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks Oct. 20, extending his assist/point streak to seven games (3-12-15). The 29-year-old Natick, Mass., native tops the NHL in both assists (15) and points (18) through 10 contests this season. Only two other defensemen in League history have recorded as many points through their team's opening 10 games of a campaign: Bobby Orr (2 16-18 in 1969-70 and 5-13-18 in 1973-74, w/ BOS) and Paul Coffey (3-17-20 in 1988-89, w/ PIT).

 

THIRD STAR - CARTER HUTTON, G, BUFFALO SABRES
Hutton stopped all 72 shots he faced across two games, going 2-0-0 with two shutouts to help the Sabres (7-1-1, 15 points) complete a 3-1-0 week. Hutton earned his 12th career shutout with 25 saves in a 4-0 win over the Dallas Stars Oct. 14. He then set a franchise record for saves in a regular-season shutout, posting 47 - including 19 in the third period - in a 3-0 victory against the Los Angeles Kings Oct. 17. The 33-year-old Thunder Bay, Ont., native is 5-0-0 with a 1.40 goals-against average, .953 save percentage and two shutouts through his first five appearances of 2019-20. Only one other goaltender in Sabres history has collected multiple shutouts within his first five games of a season: Bob Sauve in 1979-80.

 

hey the Flyers win for once and somehow score 6 goals on the Knights. WAhoo.

 

John Carlson is not in fact a Natick native, he was just born in the hospital here. Raised in NJ. for that reason alone his 2nd star status has been revoked and he can go to the back of the line.
Natick has Doug Fluite (actually born in Fla.) and Dan Lacouture and thats about it. and Casey's hot dogs.

 

If you could re-pick the 2014 draft, who would be the top 10 or so picks?

http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/draft/nhl2014e.html

 

Draisaitl, Pastrnak, Point, Nylander, Ekblad, Larkin, Reinhart, Arvidsson, Ehlers, Olofsson or Heinen?

 

Draisaitl first obviously, toss up between Point and Pasta.

 

I was watching the second period last night outside on the big screen. There's always a group of homeless people there cheering on the Leafs, one guy even offered me a beer.

This one guy has a german sheppard and it likes keeping things in order. This one guy was non-stop yelling at the screen (nonsensical) we were all getting fed up. Finally ole yeller takes things into his own hands, he starts barking at him. It was so funny, you could practically make out the words, "Shut the fk up!". Lol

 

The dog was even wearing a habs jersey.

 

Jonathon Ericsson and Luca Sbisa both put on waivers

 

Luca Sbisa, another top Flyers draft pick that did very little. He was traded for Chris Pronger and never lived up to his high draft status.

 

Swiss player, he ended up on the west coast with the ducks I think.

 

he still stunk!

 

He's had a quiet career, a 19th overall is a crapshoot, especially over 10 years ago.
