I just like saying Tom (between the legs) Barrasso.

Speaking of ole between the legs, his 48 career points as a goalie may never be broken.

Hank is the closest active player with 24 in 826 career GP

Barrasso was my first NHL idol — Jeremy Roenek my second. My first pro sports team jersey - kind of a big deal. I had a very hard time letting go - considered switching allegiance - when he got traded to the Penguins. I still followed Pittsburgh with my peripheral vision.... and when they won a few cups in was hard not to feel like I missed out.

 

But I don’t recall the 5-hole stuff. That’s kinda funny though.

Not to take anything away from Miller, but Miller got a lot of his wins in shootouts. Beezer played in the day of ties with no shootouts. 

 

Beezer had 119 ties. Let's just assume a 50% win percentage in shootouts, that's another 60 wins.

Good ole Tom was great, but was notorious for letting a squeaker right between the legs / 5 hole at the least opportune time.

Funniest part, but not in a ha, ha way, was that he stopped doing it after going to Pittsburgh and winning those two cups with Mario and Jagr et al.

Miller would be the first one to point that out.

What a great bit of trivia to start the day!

Wow, the Jackets had a 4-1 lead early in the 2nd. They currently trail 8-6 to Calgary, midway through the 3rd. Maybe waited a few too many goals to pull Bob.

Tom Wilson getting blown up on a questionable hit is funnier than it should be...

 

Looks good to me. Wilson saw Reaves coming and took a dive.

Not saying reaves made a legal hit but how many times has Wilson injured/almost injured someone? Karma, her stripper name Ryan Reaves.

IMO opinion guys like those two are the next to get phased out like the dedicated enforcer.
