  1. I thought Granato and Ellis should have kept Olofsson on the right side powerplay unit 1 with Tage on the left side. That way defending teams couldn't anticipate the TNT one timer everytime. In my opinion it would have really boosted the powerplay this season. Why move away from that option?

    But that's bygone's now. Good luck Victor.

  2. Good post GA! I agree with many of your assessments.

    GMKA needs to trade prospects / picks and or RFAs to get some quality NHL guys in the bottom six. And even aim for a top six winger who can put the puck in the net and not hit the glass every friggin time! Be bold Kevyn. Don't be afraid to pull the trigger!

  3. Ovi definitely had the higher degree of difficulty. Wayne would probably not put up those numbers in today's NHL even going back to the 2000s. The goalies are amazing today vs back in the 70s and 80s.

    One Gretzky stat that won't be broken is his Assists. 1,962 A and 2,857 Points! (not including playoffs). Now that's incredible!

  4. He was great in Slap Shot. "Dickie Dunn wrote this, it must be true!" Classic!

    He was also the diving swim coach in "Back To School" with Rodney Dangerfield.

    RIP Emmet Walsh. One great character actor for sure.

    Administrative error.  I'm quite sure first star should have been JJP.

    From Hamilton WGR: "The media in Los Angeles was so impressed with Tage Thompson and how he dominated every time he had the puck, they made him the first star of the game despite having no points. Thompson played 19:37 and had four shots on goal and 13 shot attempts."

     

    Tage did play a physical game and had a lot of shots (mostly all misses), but its crazy JJP didn't get the first star.

    Lastly, the one shot Tage had on the PowerPlay shattered Cam Talbot's goal stick on the top handle and it went flying to the back boards. It was quite a sight to see. Of course Buffalo went 0-4 on the PP☹️

    Listen, I get it that everyone wants to burn this place down, but this is bullcrap.  Rob answered the bell every time and policed for his team for a long time. He was a valiant force and he did much more damage than he took for a team that needed him desperately. You can rag on his broadcasting chops, but this is a garbage take. 

    Agree 100%. 
    plus Razor had Aprox 3200 PIM and played 900 games. Twist had 1,100 PIM in 445 games.
