Someone on WGR just articulated the awesome idea that Aldrich's name should remain on the Cup, but should be defaced with a line through it or scratched through or something, so that everyone who sees the Cup wonders why and finds out. It's a great idea. It's better than removing it.

Shutouts are usually partially a product of the defense and partially a product of goaltending. 4 shutouts in 7 games, though, is impressive no matter what.

He's gonna have a tough time breaking all of the records while he's winning a Calder and a Vezina next year.

Damn. $70 for a season pass for AHL TV.

Yeah I get you. I don't necessarily think it was nefarious. I don't want them to have anything nice.

To me, it's "hey we could design something or we could just copy this." It's not a ripoff necessarily, it's just lazy. It's kind of like when the Penguins copied the Rangers.

All I see is Team Canada when I look at that sweater. I was always jealous that they had such a kickass uniform. This is all fine and good, but I still see Team Canada. But you're right, it could be totally non-infringing--and I don't know a whole lot about IP rights in Canada, anyway.

Well, if I have to wake up in the middle of the night, at least I am waking up to learn that they won. Back to sleep.

Well now I can't go to sleep until after THIS period. This is how it starts. The first one's free, and then...

A little Rasmus-to-Rasmus action!

Dogs turn white and fluffy when you cook them?

Tortorella back in America's Wang with a 7-0 team? And Q coached last night, too.

I'm going to end up being awake for the first period of this damned thing whether I like it or not, so I might as well have it on.

Interesting ...

Something's messy. "Two former Chicago Blackhawks players" appears not to be accurate in two respects (Beach never played for Chicago and he is only one person), and I am questioning whether (1) TSN was inaccurate or (2) there's still something we don't know. TSN's reputation always has been pretty good, as far as I know. It has nothing to do with the bona fides of Beach as a victim, and I think some people are misunderstanding me that way.

It doesn't. It just goes back to the TSN story *and that's all*. First post, this thread. He could have been the mailroom sorter; it's the same crime and the same coverup.

And cloned him, apparently. Book you might enjoy (I am not suggesting this with snark; I think you'd enjoy it): https://www.amazon.com/Lifespan-Fact-John-DAgata/dp/0393340732 Well stated. This could have been the Sabres or the Celtics, or even Tebow's* Mets. The problem is way larger than the Chicago Blackhawks. *That was snarky.

Thank you, gentlemen.

I did see that and thank you @Brawndo. More interested in both goalies, I suppose.

I can't find lineups/goalies anywhere--not even on NHL.com.

I'm not the one keeping it going...and Taro has answered the question. So Tebow was a New York Met after all. And even if you count Beach, who is the second? Is there one?

With the exception of the word "still," this reminds me of a team I know. Wish I could watch this one.

I'm guilty of this as well; I'm wondering whose NHL strings Roger Goodell pulled yesterday.
