if montreal and edmonton end up tied in points after saturday, who finishes 29th?

is it based on win totals first? cause that would put montreal in 29th..

New rule for Eklund: You can only use the phrase "rhyme or reason" once in a post.

Also, the formality of the names on the NHL awards is something that helps set hockey apart from all other pro sports. I remember as a kid feeling a sense of mystery around the awards, and I think that helped add a bit of significance to them. It made them seem ancient, like they had history. It also makes the curious fans want to explore that history, and that's only good for hockey.

My biggest criticism of those in power in hockey is that they're always trying to fix something that isn't broken. Stop pouring fuel on the fire, for god's sake.

I see no reason to pay tribute to the founders of the game anymore. While we're at it let's change the name of the Stanley Cup to Super Cup.

founders of the game? come on. like Ek said (or was it Joe Sakic) Comm Smythe was just some executive. duh.

Sounds good ... maybe that will lead to seeing more goals scored in an average game.
