Roy's line, on the 05/31 game: -pulled at 6:28 of the second period -allowed 6 goals on 16 shots (on his first 2 shots, 3 on his first 5 shots and 4 on his first 8) -it was the first time he allowed 4 First Period goals in his (then) 240 post-season game career. -at the time, it was the most lopsided Game 7 in NHL history. Repeating this kind of carnage would be sweet.

Game 1.

The NHL may have to deal with somebody other than Fasel: CTV.

Poor baby must be tired; he played a full season this time.

Does this help? From tsn dot ca:

Well deserved!

TSN. And, in a related story, Barry Melrose is reported to be seething.

Best boss the League has had since Gil Stein.

On the TSN coverage of the game, Pierre McGuire reported lots of bad line changes by Pittsburgh. One cost them at least one goal and one was caught for a penalty. This is funny: on wikipedia dot com, thanks to someone's edit, they have "Pierre" as his nickname and "Regis" as his first name.

Hiller. Giguère is trying to get the flu. Not the deadly kind, just the pretend kind.

Black Aces. Since Mr. DS Cherry played for Mr. Shore in Springfield, this makes sense. However, they are not to be confused with: Five Neat Guys.

Scott Walker is being groomed as another "New Face of the NHL". However, by defintion (in the free world and not in the NHL's world) a "sucker punch", according to wordnet dot princeton dot edu is: "an unexpected punch". As brave as it was for Ward to take "one for the team", he did have a clear view of the punch coming. And, according to the rules (?) of the League, only a "sucker punch" is mentioned as being subject for suspension. Just add this to that always growing "laundry list" for the League's next Board of Governors / Rules Committee meeting.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Ottawa Sun. I saw this when it happened before the start of the game and never gave it another thought until I read about it in our local paper. Any excuse, any time.

Toronto Star. This is an interesting take on the main advantage of a short series versus a longer series, according to the executive director of the NHL players' union.

When you can roll four quality lines, you will win. Has anyone seen George Parros? After his appearance in G1, he has become the new Waldo: a healthy scratch / liability.

Paid by who?

Especially when, from mlive dot com: and I don't know what Kelly and the membership of the NHLPA feel about this matter, but the League is thinking about taking two pre-season games and converting them to regular-season games, bringing back the 84-game schedule, which was scrapped after the lockout of 1994-95.

Yes; WCF, 2002. The one before that was WCSF, 1996, St. Louis.

Careful; this kind of planning didn't work too well in Pittsburgh.
