In mcdavid's era they toss out second assists like candy too

You realize scoring is way down from the mid 2000s right?

Outside of 2005's 3.03 GPG, scoring has been within .25 GPG of this years current 2.64 every single season since 1996.

Which happens to be Crosby's rookie season.

the refs in this league are really failing to hide their bias anymore. some teams can just grab all day with no justice. the league is hosed

also, apparently kicking a puck to your stick horizontal to the net, but having it deflect 90 degrees off the goalie, somehow breaks the 'kick the puck directly into the net' rule.

but the hand-pass goal wasn't reviewable.

great job league

The goal shall not be allowed if the puck has been intentionally kicked with his skate or foot, using a distinct kicking motion, and subsequently enters the net.


That's the actual rule, so ya that goal shouldn't count, but keep screaming at the sky.

What is 'early career' for a 43 year old? One decade? Two? More?

Dude is still probably buried in money.

Dude owed the IRS millions a decade ago and is a notorious gambler.

Wayne Gretzky was slurring his speech in an interview during NSH-STL. I hope he's just drunk.

He definitely seems to have a drinking problem from what I've heard.
