Teams can submit a sort of voucher for players they think deserve it, which I'm sure will happen.

It could be rejected because of his situation though.

Usually you get credit for injuries, but he was with Philly then.

I think Chicago winning and Timonen not getting his name on the Cup is the best possible result so I am shifting my allegiance to Chicago.

Tampa is better than Anaheim and they took Chicago to 7, and several deep overtimes in that.

But they don't really play the same style as Anaheim does so Chicago's defense might end up just being the counter to Tampa.

Tampa Ticket Policy for Stanley Cup Finals


... The gently caress!? Why would the 19th ranked team in terms of % of capacity want to dissuade people from spending money on tickets?

“We want to create as much of a hometown environment for the Lightning players and our season-ticket holders as we can.” ie: We need every advantage we can get, because the Blackhawks are going to wreck our poo poo.

Chicago has standing room because it's a badly designed arena, capacity means nothing.

However, the numbers don't lie, he ha a slightly better GAA and a slightly better save percentage than Bishop this season. Yet people talk about Bishop as if he's amazing. I don't get it. Crawford is like maybe the twelfth best goalie in the league but you could do a lot worse.

He's overpaid, but so's Patrick Sharp, so whatever.

Nobody talks about Bishop being any good except the TV trying to make a storyline.

Montreal has the most strip clubs per capita.

This isn't really a good thing so I assume the same holds true for bars.

Per capita is irrelevant. I believe lacrosse wi is bars per capita. But America doesn't judge itself per capita, it's #1, just like Chicago in having the most bars.

Montreal's population would rank 5th in the US.

Per capita strip clubs is pretty drat gross when your population is that high.

They can just petition the league to get him on there and they'll get no arguments. And they're not going to play him just to get his name there.

The league can and has denied guys who didn't play because they weren't good enough though.

Tonight would be an ideal time to win it, Hawks. Chicago is pretty much shut-down because of this storm and the Cubs game was canceled. The weather would probably keep a lot of idiots from destroying the city tonight.

Or make it easier for them.
