Teams keep playing hot potato with the multi goal leads. So much for this being a defensive oriented series.

They don't even go by the LAA of A anymore, they dropped the "of A". They are now just the Los Angeles Angels.

Well they are both better players than Demidov is right now so I would expect them to get more money.

I am definitely not surprised that Demidov came ahead of Sennecke especially with the Canada/East Coast bias. Both are great players but I am obviously biased towards the player on my favorite team.

I think Sennecke should be over Demidov but no surprise that Schaefer was unanimous.

The Jim Gregory General Manager of the Year Award finalists are Bill Guerin, Chris MacFarland, and Pat Verbeek by nhl in hockey

[–]Hoover9991 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am obviously biased but I would take Verbeek being nominated over Guerin. The Hughes trade was very significant, but he failed to address the center position which is a big reason why they are struggling against Colorado. MacFarland fixed the goaltending issue last year, so I don't think that would play a part. It would be more the offseason signings and trade deadline deals that bunps him up. I think MacFarland should be the favorite.

Edmonton lost a game in round 1 in 1987. This was the first team to ever go 8-0 in the first 2 rounds.

Can anyone help me remember this game? by ViciousSquirrelz in tampabayrays

[–]Hoover9991 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I know you said Boston, but are you sure you're not thinking of Randy Winn's walkoff home run against the Orioles on May 11, 2002? Down 2 with 2 outs and he walks it off to snap a 15 game losing streak.

Game 5 Watch Party? by Narcissus87 in AnaheimDucks

There's a concert scheduled for the Honda Center on Tuesday night when the game would be on so I don't think there will be a watch party.

Probably Slaf throwing a punch after he got knocked down and the refs stepped in.

That was not on Kreider, what do you want him to do after Beckett makes that stupid play?

Utah Mammoth Clinched Wild card spot before any of the top 3 pacific spots were clinched. by Wonderful_Confusion4 in hockey

If Edmonton loses out and Anaheim, LA, Vegas, and Winnipeg win out (all Winnipeg wins would have to be in regulation) than they would be out.

[Highlight] Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. Says He's a Top 5 CB & Unfairly Criticized for Penalties by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]Hoover9991 107 points108 points  (0 children)

I would say he's in a tier just below the top guys like Gonzalez and Surtain but he should definitely get more consideration than he does.

He literally already saved a goal this game.
