Why do people insist on feeding the trolls?

I think it was last night. He had one where he fumbled the puck for a second and then all of a sudden it was on the net. So in the time it would take most players just to recover control of the puck, he had already shot it.

It seems that we have a bit of an infestation.

Does it count as a natural hat trick when they are your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th goals of the night?

Well at least the most likely source of a cheap shot injury is our for pretty much the rest of the game.

His 6th will be even more important.

Back when he had those 6 points against Detroit, I commented on how LaFontaine did it twice in something like 3 months in that magic season. Well Tage just one-upped that. edit: @Doohickie, thanks for the seizure.

He might have to strap on the pads and hop in net at this rate.

Yeah, but take away that one period and he only has a measly 16 goals.

I demand a 10 spot and 6 for Tage. I will accept no less

Sounds like an issue for the politics club... oh wait, the Yankee.

They should base the draft order off of the mid-season standings when the draft actually occurs, just to see if anyone would notice. I realize they have to hold it when they do, but the timing of that draft has always felt so crazy to me.

Yeah, but was he born prematurely? He may still be 19 if we go by gestational age.😁

Divide both goals and blocks by the number of shots attempted and maybe you'll start to see something. This one in its current form is pretty much useless. We're pretty much just seeing a straight vertical line up the middle at the average number of blocks per game. Personally, I'm amazed at how little variation there is in blocks from team to team. It's tough to make a "block more shots" argument when pretty much everyone is blocking the same number.

If the official term isn't a ***** storm of canada geese, these labels are meaningless to me.

There were a ton of Zhitnik slapshots in the Boston beer leagues, minus any velocity.

I’m way too lazy to look up even the conference records for each team. For me, Cincy is the one big mystery right now. Since there’s no head to head matchup yet, I don’t know what to expect or how they match up.

I wasn’t trying to suggest that we wanted the other outcome. It’s just that Cincy is pretty much the only team of importance who didn’t lose ground on Buffalo this weekend. Sure, Baltimore didn’t either, but they lost their QB in the process.

It drives me crazy that Dahlin needs to answer the bell after throwing a beautiful clean hit on a guy DRIVING THE NET WITH THE PUCK. Sometimes you need to lick your wounds or automatically wind up killing a penalty.

That type of growth curve with this as his starting point? Sign me up. I can’t imagine that there are very many 19-20 year old defensemen eating up the kind of minutes he has so far.

If I ever get back into the beer leagues I’ll be in that same boat. It’s been about 8 years now and I can’t imagine more slap shots to the pad less chest and arms will feel very good with those added years.

Didn’t you see the edits? I can only call myself an idiot so many times. 😄

Crap, what the hell happened in the 4th quarter of the Sunday night game?

I’d say it’s a shame that they didn’t get him the hat trick, but there will be plenty of them by the time he’s done.
