From the CBC: Down in Front! Why U.S. hockey fans aren't happy with this Leafs fan, or his head.

Ahhh, Jamiroquai! Finally... music I can relate to. This = Guaranteed win.

From Wikipedia: In Canada, the term "college hockey" refers to community college and small college ice hockey that currently consists of a varsity conference—the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) -- and a club league—the British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League (BCIHL). "University hockey" is the term used for hockey primarily played at four-year institutions; that level of the sport is governed by U Sports.

From global news dot c'eh: St.Francis Xavier coach, player allege hockey brawl started after comments 'shaming sexual assault survivor'.

Terrance Gordon "Terry" Sawchuk 1929 - 1970. Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame 1971.

A simple copy/paste regarding this story, found at the cbc sports dot c'eh website. Mark O'Brien as Terry Sawchuk is shown in the file Goalie in this undated handout photo. Image: Sophie Giraud, The Canadian Press. This should be good.

Year-end Minutiae: Tonight's game will be the twelfth New Year's Eve game to be played which also happens to be the halfway point of the season, the first being in 1946. As well, it's the fourth time within an eighty-two game schedule and the first time since 2001.

Something interesting I've found at this point of the season: Tonight marks game thirty-nine in the current schedule. Results can currently be put into one of two buckets, a Close Decision Game (CDG), decided either way by 1 or 2 goals or a Decisive Decision Game (DDG), decided either way by 3 or more goals. Since the 2005-06 season (because of the introduction of the shootout), a game result can only be one or the other, with CDG plus DDG being equal to the number of games played. Prior to 2004-05 and back in the day of tie games ('member them?), CDG plus DDG plus Tie games would equal the number of games played. At this point of the season, after 38 games, the Club has a CDG total of 33. All-time, this is one more than at the same point of the season in both 2008-09 and 2015-16. Currently, the Club has a DDG total of 5 after 38 games and this is where it gets interesting. This total is one fewer than the following seasons, in chronological order: 1936-37, 1940-41, 1959-60, 1986-87, 2008-09 and 2014-15, making 4 tie-game seasons and 2 shoutout seasons. Note: The interest level of others may vary.

From the CBC dot c'eh: NHL commissioner Gary Bettman is expected to confirm the worst-kept secret in hockey on Tuesday — the league will be expanding to Seattle. ...

After first ten games of season: 1975-76: 0W-7L-3T 1985-86: 1W-8L-1T

Interesting post-WJC period for some medal winners... being traded; three that I know of: Team USA (Max Jones) and Team Canada (Robert Thomas and Taylor Raddysh). Re: Following the Formenton goal, making it 3-1 in the Final. I hope Rasmus Dahlin killed that rat that he thought he saw on the top of the dasher board. That was quite a hissy fit he threw.

One last time... "Hey Baby (Uhh, Ahh)" DJ Ötzi.

Congratulations to Team Canada. Good job, well done. By the way... Lias Andersson is a fool.

Seen just now, after Googling "iihf" and showing the iihf dot com website... a message: This site might be hacked. Russians wanting to change the score of their first game, hmmm?
