Look at the Leafs fan to your right. Now look at the Leafs fan to your left.

If neither of them is an rear end in a top hat, then it’s you.

Even besides Polytechnique, Quebec's pretty anti-gun.

The Bloc are always there along with the NDP wanting Trudeau to go further.

The bloc and NDP oppose the amendment to C-21 now that they realize how dumb of an overreach it is, causing Trudeau to back off realizing he no longer has the support.

Probably best to take the gun tantrums to canpol.

Yeah you should.

Tell me you didn't watch either clip nor read the discussion without you know doing that.

The discussion was wrong. Crosby is a cheater.


(The 2 situations being compared are not alike. However, what Crosby did has been called as goalie interference more often than it has not.)

Washington would be like 88% as good without Ovechkin, other people would just be allowed to shoot instead.

I've done the math. No, I won't show you.

I picked it because his number is 8, but I agree Crosby is definitely a nazi.

N: Engvall eats a 1 game suspension for the high stick from last night's leafs/kings game.

V: Engvall gets suspended for something that shouldn't have even been a major penalty. I can think of 2 times this year bunting has been hit in a similar way and there wasn't even a penalty call.

You're right, it should have been a match and an execution.

Ovechkin leads the league with 5 this year. Guentzel has 4 and is second. Career wise Ovechkin has 53, and is second all time behind Gretzky (56). The other active leaders are Marchand (32), Eric Staal (31), Sidney Crosby (28), Zach Parise (28), Blake Wheeler (28), Patrice Bergeron (27), Patrick Kane (26).

If we're going by rate scoring Marchand seems pretty good at them. His 32 empty net goals have come in 893 games. Yet if you extrapolate that out to the same GP that Ovechkin has then that would put Marchand with around 46-47 ENG, or still behind Ovechkin.

Seems pretty clear that as in all things goalscoring Ovechkin is the best at empty netters too.

Those other guys (except Kane I guess) all being out there primarily to defend the 6-on-5 while Ovechkin is just there to steal another goal from a teammate is probably a factor too.

That was at the end of game 1 in the second round.

Evans missed the next 3 games in that series (it was a sweep), and 7 games against Tampa.

Aphrodite

Sure, but other players on the team can score too. They have to give it to Ovechkin or their gatorade next game is going to have polonium in it.

I just looked it up on Natural Stat Trick:

Over the past 3 seasons Washington outscores the opposition 16-3 when they have their goalie pulled and Ovechkin is on the ice.

When Ovechkin is off the ice, they are only outscoring the opposition 21-13.

Ovechkin's GF% when he's on the ice in EN situations is better than any team's GF% in the same situation during that 3 year span. But yeah let's keep him on the bench and have Nic Dowd and Garnet Hathaway missing empty nets instead.

That's because the other 4 guys work harder since they're effectively on a 6 on 4.

Derek Forbort scored a shorty today which is way more impressive than Ovechkin.

Also he's never done a genocide probably.

Yup, but on the other hand he's missed like 25 games in his career total so his all but unprecedented durability in relation to other power forward/goalscorers has made up a significant chunk of that.

I think he's missed more games from suspensions than injuries in his career, even.

Not on a “what was he supposed to do!?!” Frame, but from someone who has never played, how practical is it for Reeves to hit there without putting him in hospital or is the only real option there to pull out of the hit of the defenceless player?

Not hitting there is an option yeah, and most players take it.

The winter classic commercials are all Crosby and Swayman even though Ullmark is going to get the start.

I wonder when they recorded those.
