2010-2011 NHL season

how many Cups does Hasek have if he's a Wing his entire career?

 

Crosby is on pace for 69 goals and 71 assists for 140 points. That'd be the first 140 point season in the NHL since the mid-90s.

What's even more remarkable is that Crosby has gone without a point in just four games this season. So, yes, his streak is incredible, but it's not like he was slumming it prior to hitting the gas.

 

Love seeing Crosby's highlights each game. Every year, the guy works on his game, but I don't think anyone saw him doing this the past month. Phenomenal.

 

Sorry JR, Dryden was always considered one of the best in the game, hence him playing for team Canada. Osgood not so much, the comparison is terrible.

 

Glad to see Darryl Sutter step down. Can the Flames get rid of Duane and Brent, too? The whole team is a mess and needs a major roster makeover, ASAP.

 

I remember Gretzky's streak very well. There was no internet or TSN at that time and you never saw the Oilers on Hockey Night in Canada unless they were playing the Leafs. But every morning on the radio as I was getting ready to go to school, it was "Gretzky had another three (or four or five) points last night to extend his points streak." It seemed incomprehensible.

 

And after a rocky start, the Pens are 18-3-1 in their last 22 games.

 

1.) What's the scoop on the new Sabres owner?

2.) I don't care how many points you give out for a win, a loss, an overtime loss, etc. But, the same number of points should be available to be distributed each game. The argument should be how they are split up. I hate the fact that more overall points are handed out in an overtime win/loss. It's a minor league move.

3.) Golfnut's idea isn't that crazy. It sounds like the hockey equivalent of College Football's overtime (where teams alternate possessions beginning on the 20 yard line).

Mr. Pegula's ties to the Buffalo area begin with his wife, who grew up in western New York and is a huge Sabres fan. Pegula himself has lived in Orchard Park and Olean.

 

The Blackhawks celebrated Kane's return to the lineup last night by seeing Toews go off with an undisclosed upper-body injury.

 

Absolutely agree that all games should be worth the same number of points.

I also agree that golfnut's idea doesn't sound crazy, but I still don't like it. Let 'em play 4-on-4 then 3-on-3 till somebody scores. I liked the shootout for about two weeks then realized even when my team won it was a hollow victory.

Even the BOG marginalized their importance when they decided to eliminate points gained from shootouts when breaking ties for playoff seeding. I think it'll be on its way out soon.

 

I'm a huge Osgood fan, always have been, but the only way he sees the inside of the hall of fame is by buying a ticket. He is the product of accumulating stats over a long career. In his 10 of his 17 seasons he would be considered a platoon or back up goalie.

Belfour isn't in yet, but I would argue he is just waiting for the five year waiting period to elapse. He should be a first ballot hall of famer.

Also Curtis Joseph isn't in with 454 wins and I would suspect that without the cup he never does go in, despite being far more important to his team's successes than Osgood over his career.

Two more similar goalies would be Mike Vernon and Andy Moog, both of whom won multiple cups, both of whom almost won 400 games, both of whom will never be hall of famers.

This isn't like baseball where if you win 300 games as a pitcher you are almost guaranteed entry into the hall. You are basically at the mercy of the voters, and I have yet to figure out how they set their standard. Dino Ciccarelli? Bernie Federko? Ah hell if those two are in as players maybe Osgood stands a chance.
