2020-2021 NHL Thread

I remember reading Frank Orr in the Star years ago. He was probably my first regular hockey columnist to read.

In the 1980s, he had a weekly (maybe monthly?) hockey trivia contest in the Toronto Star. The prize was a pair of gold seats at a Leaf game. Almost always the questions would be ones I didn't have the knowledge or resources to answer barely into my teens.

But then came this one question that I knew I could answer with my yearly edition of the NHL Record and Guide Book: Who are the only two players to win the Hart Trophy and the Lady Byng in the same season. Easy! I just have to cross-reference the two trophy winners, and boom, it's Wayne Gretzky and Stan Mikita.

I write out my answer and mail it in to Frank, with very high confidence that I'm winning those golds. Excitedly, I open the sports section the day he announces the winner. The announcement: Congratulations to some other guy, winner of the golds, runner-up me, winner of a Leafs calendar.

Oh, and I already had that year's calendar.

Lol Jets making analytics come true after Paul Maurice denounced it to defend Blake Wheeler.
 
Laine 4G 1A in 6GP
Roslovic 4G 5A in 9GP

Whether Laine stays in Columbus or not I just really don't see this being a trade that works out in Winnipeg's favour.

Zdeno will accept your apology:

Ch?ra is an athletic ambassador for Right To Play. In July 2008, he spent two weeks in Africa, visiting Mozambique in support of the charity, and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with former NHL player Robyn Regehr.[43][44]

He also mansplained journalism ethics to her lol
It reads a lot like the White House of the past couple of years. Prominent big talk business man sweeps in to make the franchise great again with merchandise and bilking vendors and service providers and internal staff at every possible level.

I will raise your HR nightmare to a PR debacle and maybe also throw in a litigation for good measure
 
Their statement doesn?t support the Trump/My Pillow connection at all.  I?m half expecting Bergman to come out claiming he has no idea who Moruelo is because he was just some intern who got to BoG coffees
