This is so true. Had my wife had to work Friday morning, she would have been stuck at Galleria since then like those who started the morning shift.

Unreal. This is the second time in the past decade we had something comparable to 1977 after years of false alarms.

In the Buffalo News earlier, Lance Lysowski wants the shiny new toy in Jacob Chychrun. I really would prefer other NHL defencemen who won't cost that much. I would rather have better depth.

Still a driving ban in large tracts of Erie County. My family were driving in, but they are turning back.

Have a safe Christmas, everyone.

Welcome back!

Apparently, the maximum winds for this storm exceeded 1977. Where I am, there is not much snow. We have friends in South Buffalo who have had 3-5 feet of snow, though, plus drifting.

For others on the analytics bandwagon, how do analytics people quantify hockey sense?

Felices Satvrnalia.

Some of this is the design of the offence, where the team sets up to give its shooters clear shots at the net while the goaltender is moving across the crease to face the shot. This is most obvious on the PP. Some of this is puck-luck. Some of this is continually playing back-ups.

He did make a Thatcher Demko proposal in another thread. I thought than Vancouvrt would want better parts like Savoie.

We sledded and skied. Our back yards froze into what we considered to be a giant hockey rink.

There is barely any snow on the ground here in Amherst, but the wind is awful. Welcome back! In short, blizzard conditions: snow and high winds. Sometimes white-out.

Good enough to be a consistent #6D. That's all I care about.

Welcome to the board! Welcome back!

Online IT training videos are boring. Moreover, you need to keep stopping them to take notes. So I will have spent 2 weeks on AWS with 20 hours of videos.

Tuch is accidentally the 4th line centre. I presume that is Krebs.

Welcome to the board!

"Montreal hockey media" and "drivel" is almost always redundant, particularly when it comes to Francophone Quebecois.

Point well taken.

Welcome back!

Reinhart has not been good, but a lot of Panthers are playing worse than last year. Florida's real problem is that ownership and/or their GM over-reacted to the playoffs loss last year. I am not convinced that they have the right coach either.

The cherry on top is that the Flyers management signed him to that contract just this past off-season in spite of all the evidence because their management team is obsessed with big, physical guys; whether or not they can play the game well was immaterial.

So a road line-up and home line-up? Hinostroza and Asplund play mostly against top teams and/or on the road while Peterka and Quinn play mostly against lesser teams and/or at home? Also, as someone mentioned in the last GDT, the third period was the first time where Granato shortened his bench and really tried to line match. So he and the team are transitioning from training mode to winning mode.

Your post is why I thought juggling the bottom 9 forwards might work for everyone on the team.
