The greatest of all time, period. No ifs, ands or buts. He has truly earned the title of "Mr. Hockey".

This is a great decision by the HHOF; one that has been long overdue. Hopefully, some of the pioneers of women's hockey won't be overlooked. When I was in high school, a city tournament was held and was billed as the "Powderpuff Tournament". I would nominate Abigail Hoffman and Angela James.

Maybe the reference to Mike Green wasn't an accident.

The last 10 games of the 2001-02 season: 2 tie games (you remember them, don't you?), 1 win, 1 otl, 1 tie, 2 losses, 1 tie and 2 losses. The DRW finished the season with a 7-game winless streak. If that pain wasn't enough, they lost the first 2 games against Vancouver in the CQF. And then things turned around quite nicely: 16W-5L in the last 21 playoff games. It's like that famous quote, attributed to James Augustus Hunter: "The sun don't shine on the same dog's a** all the time". Things could be worse; imagine driving around with (at least) one of these on your car:

Big online sale going on right now; the CBC is strapped for funding.

Mask; what mask?

He's played in 92.2% of the Club's games played in his career. Very, very impressive.

Careful, now; he is watching.

A Detroit win or a Chicago regulation loss (again)?

March 28, 2009. In the end, it's all about Alex.

An update. I laughed when the article gave his address.

41/60 & 49/75. But don't tell your brother; your secret is safe with us.

Or is he holding a camera?

From the linked article: "Bettman also told the convention that the benefit to the league was not always worth what they sacrifice." and "Bettman explained the NHL's focus was not on money, but on their on-ice product." Two things come to mind: 1) Bettman has already publicly hinted that the League may go to an 84-game schedule, doing away with two exhibition games and 2) Bettman's idea for the presentation of the League's on-ice product is in the "season opener" games, with four teams being part of the 2009-10 festivities. Anyone know if a payment of monies is involved, or is it just an agreement among the four parties?

Thanks for the heads up. I checked the plaque I received as a Christmas present and it's one of the ones you're talking about. And there they are, as proud as they can be: the Mayor of Pittsburgh and his wife.

"Inspector Gadget" = a real tough-talking guy.

From a marketing standpoint, this is great news for the Islanders; now they have something to put in their season highlights video.

Two goals in a four-point night and no theatrical celebrations. He is a quick learner.

I don't think so. And I'm pretty sure the Club wouldn't think too much of it either. This might be a good "Poll" question.

Today's "Standings" is a lot easier to work with. After last night's San Jose loss (too bad, so sad), the top of the Western Conference Standings look like this: Detroit 74 49 16 9 107 276 219 San Jose 74 48 15 11 107 240 185 There probably is an easier way to do it, but this is how I've done it: Let's assume San Jose "runs the table"; each of their last 8 games is a win. This is 16 available points staring at them, as of right now. The maximum number of points they can get is 123. If Detroit were able to win their last 8 games, their maximum number of points would be 123 as well. Both of their "Points Percentage" would be 0.750, making tie-breaker #2 the decider. As long as Detroit ends up with at least one regulation win more than San Jose, first in the Conference is theirs.
