Has this been an issue? I dont remember Lavi being soft on anyone. Dropped Hartnell to 3rd line at the beginning 2 years ago. Benched him for periods at a time too last year. Also benched Briere, Voracek, and Lieno. I dont think he has an issue benching someone...

This is true I didn't really think about it but sometimes I feel like he is too soft at times. I just hate when the players don't start off the game with some jump. Haven't seen it yet this preseason and watching is so frustrating that I want to bench players at times. Last year it seemed poor defensive back checking forwards were not punished. I love offense but I would like a more accountability for poor defensive play.

No, it fits his hometown (checked Wikipedia) and age.

Wow.... What a poopbag.

What % of NHL team fan bases do not know who is starting between the pipes opening night?

Forgot LA and Vancouver.

The Flyers don't know, but that's because it's like choosing between Patrick Roy and Ed Belfour ca. 1992.

i'm brain dead or something.... your first sentence confuses me.

if the decision "goes to" the defending team, that's the team that chucked the puck out of the zone. so if it's a tight race... does it go in favor of, or against, the defending team?

Sorry I should have been more clear. If the race is close then icing should be called. So the team icing the puck would get penalized and face-off would go back into their zone.
That's the theory. But in practice most linesmen in pre-season did not call icing if it was a close race.

good stuff Grace

did you write the music or lyrics or both?

Lyrics for Beyond - although some of the racier images she nixed. And lyrics and vocals on Icarus which was a bit more experimental for me.

Some reporter mentioned on twitter they are starting Reimer.

Right...but it won't. It will probably end up saving them about 0.1 miles skated per man per game, but that's about it.

“This lion, is the king of the jungle, huge mane out to here. He’s laying down under a tree, in the middle of Africa. He’s so big. So hot. He doesn’t want to move. Now, the little lions come they start messing with him, biting his tail biting his ears, he doesn’t do anything. Now, the other animals they notice. And they start to move in. The jackals, hyenas, they’re barking at him laughing at him. They nip his toes, and eat the food, and get in his domain. They do this, and get closer and closer and bolder and bolder ’til one day, that lion gets up and tears the poop outta’ everybody. Runs like the wind. Eats everything in his path, ’cause every once in a while, the lion has to show the jackals, who he is. It’s too late to be scared. It’s time to kill.”

Do the Flames even have a goalie? Or are they gonna sign that kid who used to mimic Kipper from behind the goal?

One of the 40 or so NHL prop bets I did was Cory Schneider over 41 starts.

Wow. The two goalies on the Flames Roster are Rammo, and MacDonald.

Feaster, famine.

They think the second coming of Kari Ramo is the answer. If you're tanking I guess he is.

I know of a well seasoned, out of a job, cosmonaut-wannabe who may be interested.
