    I’m going to have to look this up, but I’m willing to bet Levi has maybe 5 games with a save percentage under .900 in the  past 3 or 4 years. UPL has that many in the past 3 or 4 weeks.

    All goalies get lit up. Consistency is about how often that happens.

    Was bored, checked it out. He has 6 of those games this season, none since Jan 1. He had 4 games under .900 last season.

    We might be saying the same thing in different ways, but I just don’t see many teams with 2nd lines as good as the Tall and Skinny line. How many lines have 2 30 goal scorers? I doubt there’s a half-dozen. There are only 35 30-goal scorers in the entire league.

    I was actually just looking that up. As of today, there are only 5 teams in the league that have a first line (or any line) with 2 30-goal scorers this season. Buffalo, Dallas, Florida, Toronto, and the Calgary Flames who have Tkachuk, Lindholm and Gaudreau all over 30.

    Let us skip ahead some 70 years to 1940 when legendary NHL defenseman Eddie Shore had just retired and bought minor-league franchise Springfield Indians. A skilled hockey player noted for his tough and (sometimes) brutal approach to playing the game, Shore's hard-nosed personality carried over to ownership where he would often punish his players for not playing the style he wanted. Once in Shores doghouse, you’d have a hard time getting back on the ice unless you played exactly like the former NHL:er wanted. It was under these circumstances Shore began referring to his benched players as “Black Aces”, as in holding a dead man’s hand.

    Uh, nah. Mogilny holds the record for scoring five seconds into a game in Toronto on 12-21-91. Hey, Toronto and Calgary are both in Canada! If I can determine that the game was indeed played in the afternoon, I will score it as a victory.

    8:00pm game.

    My memory is fuzzy on this one but: Wasn't there a Calgary Buffalo game in the LaFontaine years where Pat got injured against the Flames and the 2nd time they played there were an insane amount of fights and PIM's?

    According to Forbes, Buffalo ranked 24th among NHL teams with $1.9 million in operating revenue in 2018-19.

    This is demonstrably false, both in reporting an incorrect value for the teams operating revenue as well as misattributing that information to Forbes.

    If I was to be generous and assume this is not a result of incompetence or malfeasance, then I might assume you don't know the difference between revenue and income. If you believed that these words were wholly synonymous, here is a link that explains the difference between the two:  https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/122214/what-difference-between-revenue-and-income.asp .

    The Pegulas have spent hundreds of millions of their own dollars on arena upgrades, as well as building a hotel, restaurant and practice facility adjacent to the arena.

    In this sentence, the phrase "as well as" serves as a conjunction. A conjunction should only be preceded by a comma if that comma is separating two independent clauses. A reader of English would therefore be lead to believe that "The Pegulas have spent hundreds of millions of their own dollars on arena upgrades" was a separate stand-alone thought distinct from "building a hotel, restaurant and practice facility adjacent to the arena". With that in mind, the story does not note that "the Pegulas have spent hundreds of millions on arena upgrades and constructing a hockey/hotel/entertainment complex" (removed a comma for you). The story does in fact say that the "Pegulas have spent hundreds of millions of their own dollars on arena upgrades", and that is separate from their "building a hotel, restaurant and practice facility adjacent to the arena".

     

    If that was not the meaning you intended to impart then perhaps gaining an elementary understanding of the language you are writing in may help you with any future attempts to make a cogent argument.

    Of all the erroneous and dim-witted posts you've posted, this one reaches a new low -- that said, others might be able to produce dumber examples, but like I said, I don't visit much here, nor have the time to feel even more stupid by reading more posts from this person.


    Wanker.
