GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted January 2, 2010 Well, they haven't won the Cup since 72, so I'm not surprised that they decided to turn to Satan for help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

selkie 10 Report post Posted January 3, 2010 It's going to be a sad day for the NHL and its sportswriters when Miroslav retires for good. The headlines and jokes have just been so much fun over the years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tane 17 Report post Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) Was looking through the Yahoo Player numbers, and Some of them are quite odd..... Some of them Seem to make sense, and some of them Not Player number 1 is Wayne Gretzky....ok, Fine, I get it. number 2 is Kevin Stevens ..... ??? Huh? Number 3 is Brett Hull Number 4 Roenick 5 Yzerman 6 Pat Lafontaine......But they only show his stats from 92-88 for some reason. 7 Sakic 8 Robitaille 9 Gary Roberts 10 Mark Messier 11 Mark Recchi 12 Pierre Turgeon 13 Brian Leetch 14 Dale Hawerchuck It's hard to find a Common Pattern....but maybe the top players from 1992? Which Got me thinking.....Where's Mario? So I tried Player number 66.....sure enough, Mario Lemieux I thought I wonder how many players they did this for.... 88 Was Eric Lindros 77 Sure enough is Paul Coffey 44 is.....Paul Ysebaert.......ok 33 is most definitely...... Sergei Fedorov? 22 Is Scott Stevens (2+2 = 4????) 91 is Peter Ahola.....Peter Ahola hasn't been around in years. His stats only record from 92-94, but I'm thinking I heard his name pop up out of no where at some point and played again. Maybe, Maybe not.....but If not, what's Peter Ahola doing in there? How far back do they go? do they Have Terry Sawchucks' Profile? Howie Morenz? One eyed Frank McGee? now I'm kinda addicted to the Yahoo Sports player data Base. I'm pretty sure tehy said satan's 666 was just a coincidence, but clearly, it is not. I tried to see how High this went. Player number 500, Teemu Selanne Player number 1,000 Paul Kariya......Another Pattern. Player number 10,000 doesn't exist neither does 9-4,000 Player number 3000 stephan Weiss player number 3999 Mark Mitera from the Ducks Player number 4001 Bobby Sanguinetti Rangers There is no player 4,000.....they just skipped over it There's no player 4500 Greg Nemisz of the Spits/Flames is 4501 The Last Player in the Registery is Player number 4818 Torrie Jung Goalie for the Oilers. I'm very Much intrigued as to What in blue hell Peter Ahola's Profile is doing there. So, I wondered if they just had EVERY NHL player from about 92 and up in there. I looked up Gary Shuchuk.....No Luck. Marc Potvin, Nope. Felix Potvin, yup, he's player number 415. Where does this list start? and where does it end? Bob Rouse? Nope. No Bob Rouse. If you look up Peter Ahola's Yahoo Profile on Google.....it doens't come up....that's weird. No Pat Peake, But there is a Fuhr.....he's player 200, Belfour's 100, Number 300 is.....Kris King... why Would Kris King have a Profile, and not bob Rouse? Gary Nylund has a profile. He's number 400. The only stats of his that are Shown are from 91-92 and 92-93. Apparently, Gary Nylund Finished his career with 1 goal in 29 games......He was a bit before my time, but I always heard he was a bit better than that! HA! DAve Barr even has a Profile. No Bob Rouse, But DAve Barr gets his.... he's number 800, only played from 91-94 and was never a red wing. I can't beleive how much Time I've just spent on this.....but....I mean....Peter Ahola? I don't know what to do with this information. Edited January 3, 2010 by Tane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shady Ultima 40 Report post Posted January 3, 2010 Gotta love Yahoo... they can't just put every player in alphabetic/chronological order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CaliWingsNut Report post Posted January 3, 2010 Gotta love Yahoo... they can't just put every player in alphabetic/chronological order. That's actually pretty hard to do when it comes to a database. With players joining and exiting the league daily (think AHL call ups), they would have to go off a numerical system.

Shady Ultima 40 Report post Posted January 3, 2010 Fine, that's the chronological system then. Why have it so random? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
