The next step is to hack in and tamper with the lottery balls.

There’s only one number I ever need to know to sum up his goal scoring: 92

Gretzky also has the 46 WHA goals. But then again, Ovechkin has the time missed to lockouts and covid. Oh wait, Gretzky had a lockout and a strike too, less games lost than Ovechkin though.

Ok, Larry Literal. I think the rest of the post spells it out pretty clearly. Constantly calling up the next kid in line, forever being the youngest team in the league… they needed to move from that models years ago and they still need to do it now.

Here’s a fun game. Go look at the all time goal leaders list and find the first guy who never scored a goal while you were alive. It’s a long search for anyone born before the 80s.

However long that leash might be, they risk extinction by letting it go any further. I know that’s a bit too strong of a word, but I can’t think of the right one.

Now just picture a scenario where they win the cup. Would you even think about coming back or do you go out on the highest note imaginable?

Matthews is the biggest threat. But he’s looking like a major breakdown risk and won’t reach the 1400 or so games he needs.

They’re in the same exact spot as a couple of years ago with the strong finish leaving them one point short of they needed to do exactly what you’re saying now. There’s something here, but they can’t just keep rolling with the next young guy in line.

That’s like asking what would have happened if the Oilers took Eichel and the Sabres got McDavid. It was never a possibility.

My crazy stat of the day. Ovechkin has played 1486 games. Gretzky played 1487. I don’t know if Wayne scored in his last game, but it would be fun to see Ovechkin do it in the same number of games.

Now compare the sticks.

Says the guy with the most career empty net goals.

I’m going to be up close on the floor for a Pearl Jam show next month. I’ll snap a couple shots at times, but I have zero interest in taking a video at any point.

And let’s face it, we’re talking about one or two game here. If you did this for a quarter of a season, then you’d have some issues.

Daryl Strawberry? So this Jarvis guy has a raging coke habit, a thing for hookers, and never pays his taxes?

How long did that celebration go on for?

I was going to mention that. I’d love to know who that was.

Now go back 9 games ago and read the post-trade deadline comments here about him and Jokiharju.

What, that wasn’t part of the catchy jingle?

Just go play the games instead

I’m about to hit the 10 year mark in my house. There are two lights that I very rarely turn on because once those bulbs go, I have no idea how I’m going to reach them.

It was a perfect storm with a poachable team. It’s a very specific scenario that won’t readily be repeated. Teams don’t want to waste time negotiating with the good chance of waking away with nothing. And players don’t want to do the same and then wind up with a different team.

I just saw the highlights. That was a beautiful assist from Cozens tonight.
