Penguins sign Fleury to a 4 year extension (5.75 AAV)

Surprise move. In my opinion he has been weak in the playoffs the past few years.

He has:

That's a lot of belief in Fleury:

Reg. season SV% since 08-09 .914 

Playoff SV% since 09 .897

Reimer would be look so good behind that team.

Tarasenko scored a goal tonight that I think we'll be seeing for awhile.

Way to go, Tavares!  His two goals, including OT winner, help propel the Isles over the Ducks 3-2.

Go Islanders!

I only watch highlights in Daguerreotype form.

That is seriously cool though.

Interesting play from the AHL last night. A goalie, seeing that he was about to face a 2 on 0 knocked his own net off.

The Refs awarded a penalty shot which the goalie then stopped.

Rule change as a result of this play:

DarrenDreger: AHL rule change. Gm Misconduct to  offending goalie, penalty shot can be taken by anyone on ice, and  replacement goalie faces the shot.

DarrenDreger: Adding details to the AHL rule amendment. The captain of the non-offending team will select the player who takes penalty shot...

"Gm misconduct"?  I think that's too harsh a ruling.

Agree with the penalty shot thing, but, in place of the game misconduct, the non-offending team should also have been awarded a power play.  The offending team thus receives a 4 minute penalty.

This Tarasenko fella scores some pretty goals:

Tarasenko does it again

Crosby has 5 assists against Buffalo right now. 5-1 Pittsburgh with a period left to play.

And Phil was only a point behind him yesterday for the NHL scoring lead...

That was pretty slick. Jagr-esque.

If a goalie intentionally knocks the net off it's moorings to aviod a breakaway or a 2-on-0 it should be an automatic goal for the other team. Problem solved.

The first one reminded me of the Mario goal too. Special talent that one.

So, this year's Avs are basically last year's Leafs, huh?

 

[princedpw]

Buffalo has 21 goals in 17 games.  I don't know what the record is for fewest goals in a season in an 82-game season, but I wouldn't be shocked if Buffalo owned that record after this year. 

Could they score fewer than 100 this season?  Fewer than 92, individually beaten by Gretzky?

Looks like Connor McDavid broke a hand or wrist tonight in a fight, will see a specialist tomorrow when the swelling goes down.
