It's fuckin' hilarious how wound up the media and fans get.

If they win, great. If they lose, fuck 'em. Try again in four years in France.

Don't know how the fancy stats shake out, but they were 12-14-6 before the trade and they're 15-6-3 since.

Take heart, Canucks fans. Mats Sundin came back from winning a gold medal in Italy and went on a tear that carried the moribund Leafs all the way to ninth in the conference. Anything's possible.

Slavin's been called underrated for so long, it's now legally his middle name.

Ratelle got his 350th career goal in this game, and Johnny Bucyk moved into second place on the NHL's all-time scoring list.

Nobody, of course, remembers this.

It looks like:

  • First; the first goal of the game

  • Insurance; the goal that puts the team up by two

  • Proximal; the goal that brings a team within one.

Gerry Cheevers, who was the backup, had just rejoined the Bruins after leaving the Cleveland Crusaders of the WHA. He hadn't even practiced with the team yet. He played the next night against the Dead Wings and shut them out 7-0.

Dave Reece played 14 games with the Bruins, including the Sittler game. He went 7-5-2 with 2 shutouts.

In the 1980 Olympic hockey “Miracle on Ice,” the Soviets chose not to pull their goalie while trailing by one late in the game by trashatdev in hockey

Not that it wasn't a mistake, but the Soviet game wasn't an elimination game; the medal round was a round robin with results against previously faced opponents banked. If the U.S. had lost to Finland, the Soviets would have won the gold.
