pretty cool this morning getting to show my son a goalie shooting the puck into the other teams net ...... he was too young to appreciate it last time it happened..... and this sort of brought back my memories of seeing Hextall do it as a young boy in wonderment of the concept I was in 5th place in a hockey pool with nearly 1200 people until last night. Goalie goals are worth 50 points and I don't have Rinne. I have never heard of that before in a Pool ......Canadian or American ?

I have never heard of that before in a Pool ......Canadian or American ? It's was a free pool on Officepools.com. I think anyone who managed a pool on their site last year was invited. It's sponsored by Violent Gentlemen Hockey. It has a couple of other quirks, like 2 'Enforcer' boxes where PIMs and Hits are worth partial points.

Actually might've been exactly 15 times.

Watched that on The Broadcast the other night , he has come a long way and if the Habs trade him at the Deadline , I hope his Battle is still successful wherever his Hockey Travels take him .

Team Tkachuk Team Kassian Thoughts? Both sides for me. Tkachuk’s hits were clean, you could have probably called a charge on one but there was nothing dirty about them. I have no problem with the checks and I have no problem with Kassian feeling like he needed to defend himself. Tkachuk doesn’t have to fight, I’d like to have seen him answer the bell but it’s his choice. Kassian’s reaction was a bit over the top for me, given that the other guy wasn’t willing to fight back but sometimes that happens.

I find Tkachuk was head hunting more than throwing hits to separate guys from the puck.

sparked some renewed interest in the battle of Alberta anyhow
sidenote..... everyone slags and rightfully so in most cases about free agency..... but how good a signing has Artemi Panarin been?
sits 3rd in the league in scoring.... is a ridiculous +23 on a bad hockey team...... has turned Ryan Strome into a number one center and is going to obliterate his previous career highs as long as he stays healthy

Ovechkin passed Lemieux and tied Yzerman for tenth all-time in goals.
Safe to say he hasn't been a bust.
