Red Mosquito

Any more opinions on the 6 team playoff format I proposed?

Now that Ruddo's Isles are struggling, we have three points separating 1st and 5th. It should be a hell of a battle in the second half!

God damn it

Tale as old as time,
Sabres and the Leafs

Back on track

Habs are on a 7 game win streak here. Of course I just went through the Leafs, Blues and Wings so maybe that's not saying much.
Here are my top-10 right now (missing a few games)

TOTALS G A PTS
Larry Robinson 3 26 29
Steve Shutt 15 14 29
Guy Lafleur 13 14 27
Mats Naslund 10 16 26
Maurice Richard 18 6 24
Vincent Damphousse 7 15 22
Jean Beliveau 12 7 19
P.K. Subban 1 16 17
Chris Chelios 2 14 16

I'm just finishing up today's games. There's some crazy stuff going on.

Most saves by a goaltender in a playoff game: Normie Smith 92 (Mar. 24, 1936)

This is ridiculous.

Meh, you have a 6 point lead on the closest non-playoff team.

Hasek doesn't even get named one of the three stars for that!

he was the #1 star?

I want to be in 1st place.

The Leafs lost a game in regulation after leading 4-0 at the end of the first. I probably should have known this tournament was a bad idea.

In game two, Belfour allowed one goal on 51 shots in an OT win for Chicago and I thought "That's gotta be the best goaltending performance of the tournament so far."

It still might be because Hasek allowed 5 goals, but 92 saves in a quadruple OT win? That's insane!

That game was also less than three minutes away from a fifth OT!
