Youre thinking of someone else. My Rangers hatred comes from the fact that they won Mark loving Messier a Cup and not John Vanbiesbrouck. :colbert:

Also Zuccarello is one of my favourite players and I like seeing that little hobbit happy, even if his speech still hasnt come back 100% from that brain trauma. :unsmith:

PS gently caress the Rags and gently caress you go Sens.

Ah poo poo. Thought that was you.

SHUT UP AND PLAY HOCKEY
I would be thoroughly pleased with six of the eight remaining teams winning the Cup. I would find it irksome but still kinda neat if the Ducks won. I would absolutely hate it if the Penguins won.

Penguins/Ducks final coming up.

I want Predators vs the Sens, but that seems wildly unlikely.

I remember sneaking out of bed to come downstairs and watch the 3OT game between the canucks and flames in 2004 and waking up all normal the next morning. now I start getting tired during the first intermission of a game and overtime is usually the signal for me to go to sleep. getting old stinks, especially in the context of hockey.

For normal games, trick is to nod off as the first intermission starts and tune back in as they do the highlights in the second intermission, and watch the third period. Like you missed nothing!

For playoffs, just complain on forums.

Unless Nashville has a rash of injuries Ribeiro won't get his name on the Cup if the Preds won.

You have your name on the cup if you played 41 games in the regular season. Ribeiro played 46.

It's either-or, and it's a finals game they would have to suit up for. The commissioner is also allowed to make exceptions, such as if a player didn't meet requirements due to injuries.

It's an either or thing. Either 41 or more games, or at least a game in the playoffs.

He was concussed and out with injury most of the season, plus I think he walked away from hockey at the end of that season when Montador committed suicide. :smith:

I can't help but scoff at you guys getting tired watching hockey because it might end a 2:30am seeing as for me the last oilers vs sharks game started at 3:30am and I watched every second of it.

Granted, i'm still tired, but I watched it dammit.

In non-horrible-human news, Craig Anderson's up for the Masterton. He and his wife (who recently had a cancer scare) seem like really decent people and it's a pretty :unsmith: story even if it is one about two complete strangers who will never want for money again. Must be a bit weird to be Clarke McArthur in that room though.

They'll nominate Mcarthur next year. The votes would have been cast before he had done anything yet.

Similarly Bickell wasn't nominated for the Canes. Instead it was Derek Ryan.

Although they could've nominated either guy anyways, Laperriere won when he would never play a game that season or ever again.

It's (ugh) Garrioch, but one of the threads mentioned Rhodes recently, and I always loved this story, so here you go.

Capital Facts: Ottawa's goal-scoring goaltender

quote:

In celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, the Citizen is rolling out one fact each day for 150 days until July 1, highlighting the odd, the fascinating and the important bits of Ottawa history you might not know about.

A goaltender scoring a goal in the NHL is a very rare feat. And, even though the Senators have only been back in the league 25 years, it’s actually taken place in Ottawa.

Though Damian Rhodes didn’t exactly have a memorable career with the Senators from 1995 to 1999, he will be remembered for scoring a goal on Jan. 2, 1999, in a 6-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils at home.

Rhodes was credited with a goal after he deflected the puck into the corner. Lyle Odelein collected the puck and attempted to pass it, but it went all the way down the ice and into the net with the goalie pulled for an extra attacker because of a delayed penalty.

“I probably couldn’t even shoot the puck all the way down the ice,” said Rhodes, who got the puck as a souvenir that night. “It’s probably the only way I’m going to get a goal.”

Hey, they all count, and Rhodes has his spot in history.

— Bruce Garrioch

My only memory of Ron Tugnutt is him trying to catch a shot in his glove, it tore through the laced webbing between his thumb and finger and went into the net. Goal scored, game over.

Fun Damien Rhodes fact, one year for christmas I got a Senators jersey with his name on the back. I always meant to ask where the heck they found one of those in Alberta in like 2007 or something but I never got around to it

I wasn't a Sens fan when he played for them so I wasn't even sure who he was at the time
