  1. Can we all admit that there's a huge jump from the AHL to the NHL, that scoring a ton in the AHL doesn't mean a guy will score int he NHL, and sendPulinnen back down to learn how to do more than try to fire a slapper every time he touches the puck in the offensive zone? Kid needs to settle the @#$& down instead of trying to shoot the puck through the goalie's chest every time.

    No. He hasn't been bad. There comes a point when being a big fish in a small pond will stunt your growth.

    He'll figure things out, it takes more than 5 games to get acclimated with the NHL.


  2. I've always wondered if you could track down the Guiness Book of World Records fattest man, strap some pads on him, and just literally plug up the entire net with him. Is there a rule in the NHL rule book about this? Are there weight parameters that say "If the goalie is large enough that there is no longer an opening to the net, he cannot play in the NHL?". It surely would solve our shootout issues if there was no entrance to the net at all.

    If we can keep this thread respectful and on point about Howard's performance in shootouts, and his percentages indeed being among the lowest, it may continue. Let's keep it friendly, it is the holiday season after all.

    :D

    They did this on sports science.


  3. Here's 2 unforgettable points when we are scratching to get 4th seed for at least the possibility of a round of home ice advantage in the playoffs but don't. So important to beat these teams.

    Really? I thought that game was completely forgettable.

    At least the team can still play like s*** when they want to.
