    Wings are so bad. My hockey teams suck this year.

    Obviously. Any other team and he'd be taking what was left of his teeth home in a bag.

    Also any other team and they'd be skating and fighting right on top of Lundqvist's prone body with no regard for his actual safety.

    i'm a little behind because DVR but this preds/rangers game

    nashville fans are fkin dumb

    like what are you even doing chanting "vesey sucks" every time he's on the ice just because he didn't go to your team

    chanting "lundqvist" after it takes you literally half the game to get your first goal, which was a tying goal

    fkin dumb, man

    I'm trying not to get hyped about the Wild right now because Minnesota sports heartbreak is just a way of life up here, but damn is this fun. The next two games @ MTL and NYR will be a lot of fun to watch and a good test for the team.

    I am enjoying experiencing the Pens' recent success via Facebook. IIRC, they have three 7+ goal games in the past three weeks and are 7-3 in December. It was a rough start to the season, but they are back to their form from the end of last year.

    Next up is CBJ, who are on a 10-game win streak. Should be a fun one!

    What's interesting is that Columbus is going up against the Wild, who have a 12-game winning streak of their own (a franchise record). Someone's going home with a broken streak for the New Year.

    Ugh. I can't wait for the trade deadline. I'm tired of waiting to see who's moving out when the trigger finally gets pulled on this team.

    I only listened in to the Pens-Caps game last night. Thankfully.

    Then I had to hear about it from my wife's cousin, who is a very big Caps fan.

    Also gratz to Ovie for 1000 goals!

    545 goals, I think? Maybe 546.

    1000 points, tho.

    To be honest, I couldn't remember if it was 1000 points or goals. I just expected him to have 1000 points by now. Then again, I'm probably overguessing how old he is and how long he's been in the league.

    no, it's 1000 points. No one has ever scored 1000 goals in the NHL regular season. The record for goals in the NHL is 891, by Gretzky. No one is touching that unless we get back to 10-8 games becoming the norm.

    Ovie has 546 goals, and 1001 points. Great accomplishment, especially on the goals. To give you an idea how good he is at scoring, since he came into the league in 05-06, he has something like 150 more goals than the next closest goal scorers, which are Iginla and Crosby.

    There's a lot of "this is cool" things in Ovie's march to 1000 points though. He scored goal 544, which tied him with Rocket Richard, in Montreal. That's pretty cool. His 1000th point came on a nationally televised game in the US, against the Pens, and was a goal. Probably couldn't script that much better.

    jagr could hit gretzky's record if he just plays like five more years

    which i think only him dying on the ice will prevent him from doing

    He would need 30 goal years still. And the points total is still hilarious.

    Gretzky: 894-1963-2857
    Jagr: 756-1137-1893

    Hm, looking at things I had no idea Crosby is 5th all time in points per game (Gretzky, Lemieux, Bossy, Orr). Interesting that of those five, only Gretzky played more than a thousand games, though I suppose that makes sense to some degree. Malkin's 14th, Ovie 18th, Jagr 19th, and Kane 46th as the only active players in the top 50.

    Given his sensitivity to concussions, Crosby would've been done before game 400 if he played back then.

    yeah, he's also mid-career though

    i don't imagine that number maintains later in the career

    except for gretzky

    yea, Gretzky had 62 points in 70 games in his last season of 98-99. the only time in his career he wasn't at least 1.0 ppg in a season.

    God I'm just reading through the list of individual NHL records for kicks, and it's staggering how much of a dominant player Wayne Gretzky was. That's why I roll my eyes every time someone comes into the league being touted as "the next Gretzky."

    Yesterday the Avs traded McLeod to Nashville. Today both teams play each other and McLeod scores, following through on the tradition of being burned by former players.

    I was at the game. He fought Iginla as well.

    He got a video tribute, a standing ovation and his jersey was 80 percent off.

    So

    Now I have a McLeod third jersey.

    Best in the West! However I fully expect an opening round meltdown, as is Boudreau and Minnesota sports tradition.

    #87, Sidney Crosby, ties for 87th in all time scoring in a game decided 8-7.

    I think that the universal opinion on that game is "that was awesome, and we should do it more often, but you know, not too often." Like, one, maybe two a month at most. If we had a dozen games like that all season it might be pushing it.

    it reminds me of a few years ago when spread offense concepts took off in the NFL and for the first year or two it was like "woah this is so much fun!" but then people got really tired of half the games decided merely by who had the ball last

    And off goes Jack Cap from the Islanders. I like the guy but I think the org is in desperate need of some change (for the positive for once).
