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

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.

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

OK, I've dug up some history.
Starting with yesterday's game, two rather unusual occurrences will be taking place:
1) Due to the re-scheduling of the Away game of 19/12/2016 v. Carolina to 27/03/2017, 5 games will be played in the same calendar week for only the third time in Club history. Previously, it had happened in both 1954 and 1970.
2) Again, because of this re-scheduled game, 3 consecutive games will be played for only the sixth time in Club history. Previously, it happened in 1953, 1959, 1964,1971 and 1976.
That's all I've got.

This win ends the second 12-game Away Losing Streak v. Philadelphia in Club History, tieing the Club Record against them, with the first one stretching from 14/10/1973 to 19/11/1978, including 2 shutouts and no overtime games. This most recent streak also included 2 shutouts and 1 overtime game.

Minutia...at it's almost-finest:
Last night marked the tenth time the Club has had a record of 4-2 after their first six games. However, it's only the second time that two losses to begin the season were followed by four wins, the other season being 1926-27.
If they haven't already, ESB is more than welcome to use this.

It would be remiss on my part, as an OF-FI / Forum Resident / CPC Retiree, if I did not make this information available to those at LGW, who may be interested in this new collection of postage stamps being offered by the Canada Post Corporation.

Sad news. I would see him do the sports on CITY-TV, Toronto ON and you knew that wasn't going to
be his last job. I had forgotten that he was the original television play-by-playannouncer of the
Raptors.
